Setup

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and out.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packing, tape, or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.

Proper Air Circulation

To ensure 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.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.

Leveling the Refrigerator

It is important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. You can raise or lower the refrigerator by rotating the adjustable leveling legs located at the bottom of the unit.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Temperature Control

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the upper right side of the interior compartment. The temperature range of the refrigerator is from "1" (warmest) to "7" (coldest). Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. A setting of "4" is generally recommended for normal operation.

Removable Shelves

The refrigerator comes with removable shelves for flexible storage and easy cleaning. These shelves are spill-proof and can be slid out to prevent liquids from dripping onto items below.

Initial Operation

When you first plug in the unit, set the temperature control to "7" for at least 2 hours before placing food inside. This ensures the cabinet is thoroughly cooled before loading.
