Installing Your Refrigerator  
Unpacking Your Refrigerator  
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 materi-  
als before powering on the refrigerator.  
Proper Air Circulation  
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)  
Electrical Requirements  
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps out-  
let) 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 prac-  
tice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and  
may result in shock hazard.

English  
Use of Extension Cord  
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-  
ards 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.  
Install Limitations  
• 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.  
Door Alignment (see fig. #1)  
1. Remove the top hinge cover by using a flathead screwdriver. Place  
the head under the front edge of the cap and gently lift.  
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a Phillips head screw driver.  
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and tighten the screws.  
4. Replace the top hinge cover by aligning the rear of the cover with the  
rear of the hinge. Press firmly on the front of the cover until it snaps  
in place.

Refrigerator Features And Use  
General Features  
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 both the refrigeration and freezer sections.  
At first, set the dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temper-  
ature 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.)  
Refrigerator Interior Shelves  
To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf: (see fig. # 2)  
1. Gently tilt the shelf up and slide forward until the shelf has been completely  
removed.  
2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.

Defrosting Your Refrigerator (see fig. # 3)  
• 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 freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer  
section. Your model requires you to place the drip tray under the  
freezer section (see Fig. 3). To defrost turn the temperature control  
dial to the 0 position. Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up  
defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in  
the refrigerator.  
• During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The  
drip tray may also need to be emptied during the defrost process. Do  
not leave unattended.  
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the  
interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset your refrigerator to the  
desired temperature and return food.  
fig. 3  
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear  
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of  
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.  
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Refrigerator Care and  
Cleaning  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
To avoid electric shock always unplug your  
refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning  
may result in death or injury.  
Warning:  
Before using cleaning products, always read and  
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to  
avoid personal injury or product damage.  
Caution:  
• 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.  
General:  
• 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.  
• Clean door gaskets every three months according  
to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean  
and pliable to assure a proper seal.  
Door Gaskets:  
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of  
gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a  
good seal.

Power Interruptions  
• 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 or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before  
reusing.  
Vacation and Moving Care  
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator, move  
the temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the door gaskets  
according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can  
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.
