Installation Instructions

Before Using Your Refrigerator

• Remove exterior and interior packing.
• Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately 4 hours before connecting to power to reduce the possibility of a cooling system malfunction.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.

Location

• This appliance is designed to be free-standing only; do not recess or build-in.
• Allow 5 inches clearance space between the back and sides for proper air ventilation.

Avoid Installation

• On weak surfaces unable to support the refrigerator when fully loaded.
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources (stove, heater, radiator). Ambient temperatures below 50°F or above 85°F will hinder performance.
• In moist areas.
• In a garage. This unit is not designed for outside installation.
• In a moving vehicle. This unit is not designed for RV installation or use with an inverter. It is intended for household use only.

Installing Your Refrigerator

• Adjust the leveling feet to keep the refrigerator level.
• Plug into a dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong.
• After plugging in, turn the unit on and allow it to cool for 24 hours before placing food inside.

Electrical Connection

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

This refrigerator must be properly grounded for safety. It is equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets. Do not remove the third ground prong.

Requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

Not designed for use with an inverter.

Secure the cord behind the refrigerator and do not leave it exposed or dangling.

Never unplug by pulling the power cord; grip the plug firmly and pull straight out.

Do not use an extension cord. If the cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet nearby.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Temperature Control

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator and freezer compartment. The temperature is factory preset but adjustable for personal satisfaction.

Refrigerator Compartment: Press the SET button on the control panel. A higher number indicates a warmer setting (1 is warmest, 5 is coldest). After adjusting, allow 24 hours for the unit to adjust.

Freezer Compartment: Move the Freezer Control knob towards the maximum setting to make it colder, or minimum setting to make it warmer. After adjusting, allow 24 hours for the unit to adjust.

A diagram shows the temperature control panel with settings 1 through 5.

NOTE

If the unit is unplugged or loses power, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting. Restarting too soon may prevent the refrigerator from starting.

Replacing the Interior Light

Turn the refrigerator temperature control to “1”, then unplug the electrical cord before replacing the bulb. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or personal injury. Replace with a bulb of the same wattage and size.

Freezer Compartment Operation

Temperature Control

The freezer compartment has one control for regulating its temperature, located on the interior back panel. For best performance, leave the freezer control at the midpoint and adjust the refrigerator control. Adjust the freezer control one increment at a time until the desired temperature is reached.

A diagram shows the freezer temperature control knob with MIN and MAX settings.

Ice Tray

To make ice, pour cool water into the ice tray and place it in the freezer for two hours. Twist the ice tray to release ice cubes. Setting the temperature control knob to a colder position can shorten ice-making time.

Diagrams show an ice tray being filled and twisted.

NOTE

Do not store canned foods or food stored in glass containers in the freezer compartment.

The Freezer Compartment

This compartment is designed for long-term storage of frozen food. Follow storage time recommendations on food packaging. Place frozen food in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
