Installing Your Refrigerator  
Un p a ck in g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
1
Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all  
adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and  
outside.  
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed  
materials before powering on the refrigerator.  
Pro p e r Air Circu la tio n  
To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was  
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air  
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.  
The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:  
Sides……………3/ 4" (19mm)  
Top....................2" (50mm)  
Back..................2" (50mm)  
Ele ctrica l Re q u ire m e n t  
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with  
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.  
Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in  
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice  
since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result  
in shock hazard.  
Use o f Ex te n sio n Co rd s  
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards  
under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use  
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-  
slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension  
cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.  
In sta ll Lim ita tio n s  
Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or  
heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in  
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.  
Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away  
from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters,  
cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the  
leveling legs located at the bottom.

Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The  
temperature control dial has 7 settings plus off. 1 is the warmest. 7 is the coldest.  
Turning the dial to “0” stops cooling in the refrigeration section. At first, set the dial  
to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.  
Note: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any  
period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.  
Reversing Interior Shelf:  
1. When storing a 2-Liter bottle in the door, the  
shelf should be installed with the indent side  
facing out and on the left  
2. When not storing a 2-liter bottle in the door, the  
shelf should be installed with the indent side  
facing in on the right side.  
De fro stin g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost  
accumulates to a thickness of 1/ 4" or more on freezer walls. Note that frost  
tends to accumulate more during the summer months.  
To defrost, remove the food and ice cube tray from the freezer section. Make  
sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn off the thermostat.  
Defrosting may take a few hours.  
• While defrosting, water will accumulate  
in the

Proper Refrigerator Care  
and Cleaning  
Wa rn in g :To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning.  
Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.  
Ca u tio n :Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturers  
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.  
Ge n e ra l: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed  
with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the  
cleaning solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.  
Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.  
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,  
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these  
chemicals may dissolve, damage and/ or discolor your refrigerator.  
Do o r Ga sk e ts:  
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions.  
Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.  
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep  
the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.  
Po w e r In te rru p tio n s  
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other  
causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs.  
When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If outage is  
for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled food in the refrigerator.  
Clean inside the refrigerator before reusing.  
Va ca tio n a n d Mo vin g Ca re  
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator, move the  
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the refrigerator and door  
gaskets according to “General cleaning” section. Prop doors open, so air  
may circulate inside. When moving, always move the refrigerator vertically.  
Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system  
could occur.
