Read all instructions before using the refrigerator-freezer.

DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerator-freezers are still dangerous. . . even if they will "just sit in the
garage a few days."
•
Before you throw away your old refrigerator-freezer: 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-freezer.
•
Never clean refrigerator-freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other refrigerator-freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
Before Using Your Appliance
l Remove the exterior and interior packing.
l Check to be sure you have all the following parts:
l 2 Refrigerator Shelves
l 2 Vegetable Crispers
l 1 Glass Crisper Cover
l 6 Door Bins (3 Each Door)
•
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright 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.
Installation of Your Appliance
•
Place your refrigerator-freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator- freezer when it is fully
loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of unit.
•
ALLOW 3-5 INCHES OF SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK AND THE WALL AS WELL AS A MINIMUM OF ½"
(HALF INCH) AT EACH SIDE OF THE UNIT AND ONE (1) INCH AT THE TOP, WHICH ALLOWS THE PROPER
AIR CIRCULATION TO COOL THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER.
Minimum Space Allowances
Top One (1.0) Inch
Sides Half Inch (½) Inch each side
Back Three to Five (3 – 5) Inches at the back
•
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. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the refrigerator- freezer not to perform properly.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive properly installed-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
