IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

Before the refrigerator is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the refrigerator, follow basic precautions, including the following:

DANGER

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator, be provided.
  Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

- This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

• In the event of any damage:

• Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
• Disconnect from the electrical power line,
• Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
• Contact the Service Department for advice.

- The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

- Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service

personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

WARNING

• Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60^ F ( 16^ C) and below 90^ F ( 32^ C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The refrigerator must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the refrigerator.
  • The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
• It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.
• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.

DANGER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

Installation Instructions

Before Using Your Refrigerator:

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

• 1 water drip tray

• 1 removable shelf
• 1 instruction manual

Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the Refrigerator:

• This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• When installing the unit, allow 5 inches of space at the back, sides and top of the unit, which will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2 to 3 hours before placing food inside.

Electrical Connection:

! WARNING

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

This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling.

The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately any power cord that has become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Extension Cord:

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Temperature Controls:

- Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the upper side of the compartment. The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "MAX". The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF" to "MAX". After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "NORMAL" should be appropriate for most uses. To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".

Defrosting:

- Your refrigerator defrosts automatically.

NOTE: IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, 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.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Refrigerator:

1. Turn the refrigerator temperature control to OFF, unplug the unit and remove the contents, including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. The solution should contain about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure:

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit if you minimize the number of times the doors are opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

Vacations:

Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

Moving Your Unit:

1. Remove all stored items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit (shelves).
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar covering.

Energy-Saving Tips:

• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• The unit's storage area should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label stored items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
