Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children.
Remove either the gasket or lid from unused appliances, or take
some other action that will guarantee it harmless.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet.
DANGER: Risk off child entrapment. Before you throw away your old
refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT DO IT NOW!
Installation Instructions
Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a
soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the
unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches away from the wall.
LOCATION
1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.
2) Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any
adjacent wall.
3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic
coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a “Frost Free” system. This
type of system requires no user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than
selecting required cooling temperatures and the usual care and
maintenance.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by
adjusting the (2) front leveling legs, located under the refrigerator. To
begin the cooling process, turn the graduated dial to the desired
temperature. The minimum cooling setting is 1, and the maximum setting
is Max. We recommend setting the thermostat at 4, our medium setting,
and adjust as required.

Installation Instructions
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food
stored and the frequency with which the door is opened.
NOTES:
• This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY,
and is NOT intended to be built-in.
• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power supply, leave it to
stand for approx. 24 hours, which will reduce the possibility of
malfunction in the cooling system due to transport handling.
• This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY and is NOT
intended for outdoor operation.
IMPORTANT
Install this appliance in an area where the ambient temperature is
between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around
the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be affected.

ICE CUBE TRAY
The Ice Cube Tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove the ice cubes. If the ice
cube tray is frozen solid to the evaporator surface, run a little water over
the tray. Never use a knife or other metal instruments to remove the ice
cube tray, as this may damage the evaporator.
Operating Instructions
OPERATING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Control
• Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The
temperature control is located on the top left hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to
“MAX” and run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside. This will
ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• The range of the REFRIGERATOR temperature control is from position
"MIN" the warmest to "MAX" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control
to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “MED” should be
appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
6
Operating Instructions
OPERATING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
NOTE;
• If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay,
the refrigerator will not start.
• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Do not place the foods on the air outlet. Please leave space for airflow.
• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control
by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to
stabilize between adjustments.
• Adjusting the temperature control in the refrigerator compartment will
affect the temperature in both the refrigerator and the freezer
compartment.
OPERATING FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature in the
freezer compartment(See below figure). The temperature control is
located on the center of the freezer compartment’s interior back panel.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to
“MAX” and let the unit run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside.
That will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• The range of the FREEZER temperature control is from position "MIN"
the warmest to "MAX" the coldest. Adjust this control to get the
temperature you want.
MIN
MAX
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
Storage time period is up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
time should not be exceeded.
Freezer Temperature Control
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions
regarding storage times.
Care and Maintenance
COOLING SYSTEM
This refrigerator is inclusive of a “Frost Free” type cooling system, which
means you never have to defrost the freezer compartment. Defrosting is
done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost
timer factory-programmed to operate (cycle) approximately every 8 hours.
The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located directly above the
compressor, where it then evaporates.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a
solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of water, or a
mild soap suds solution or mild detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray,
and glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a
soft cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
7
Care and Maintenance
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting.
During longer absences;
a) remove all food.
b) disconnect from electrical outlet.
c) leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensation,
mold, or odors.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two, and will not affect
your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number
times you open the door while the power is off. During power failures of
longer duration, take steps to protect your food, for example, by placing
dry ice on top of packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or
polyethylene, or kept in glass containers. Never place spoiled food in
the refrigerator.
• Don’t overload the refrigerator.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is
suggested, after careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air
to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possible formations of
condensation, mold, or odors.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS:
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other
shelf covering material which may prevent air circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry, and
fish. Meats should be wrapped individually and placed in a dish for
storage.Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish
should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as
ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original
packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in
the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers
within 2 or 3 days.
VEGETABLE CRISPER
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to retain moisture. The
crisper compartment will enable you to store vegetables and fruits which
would otherwise dry out rapidly. The humidity level inside the crisper drawer can be controlled by adjusting the “damper” control (white slider) located on the front of the drawer.
