SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS REFRIGERATOR
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
• Danger: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your refrigerator or freezer, take off the
doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb inside.
• Please ensure this refrigerator is properly connected to the power supply.
• Do not use an extension cord, as this can negatively affect the refrigerator’s performance.
• When transporting this refrigerator, keep the unit in an upright position. Do not tilt the refrigerator
beyond 45 degrees or place the unit upside down.
• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the refrigerator is running, especially with wet hands, as they
may stick to the colder surfaces.
• It is recommended that the refrigerator is positioned away from any combustible sources such as
gas, etc, nor should such objects be stored in the refrigerator.
• Do not freeze bottled liquids. Doing so may cause glass bottles and aluminum cans to explode.
• If the refrigerator fails to cool properly, dispose of spoiled foods as needed.
• All repairs should be made by a qualified service technician. Repairs made by non-qualified
personnel will void the warranty.
• Do not defrost the refrigerator with other electric devices (hair dryer, etc) and never scrape the ice or
frost layer with sharp tools.
• The rating plate is inside the refrigerator or on the rear wall.

BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Before connecting the refrigerator to the power supply, let the unit stand upright for 4 hours to
reduce the possibility of the cooling system malfunctioning due to improper handling.
• Clean your refrigerator thoroughly before putting into use.
• Use the parts diagram to insure proper positioning of internal components.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
• Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible, especially in warm/humid
conditions.
• Maintain adequate ventilation around the back and sides of the refrigerator.
• Maintain a thermostat of “4” under normal use.
• Allow warm food to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Excessive ice build up will increase energy consumption. Defrost the refrigerator and freezer when
ice/frost is 1/4” thick.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Install the refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme
heat and cold. Allow sufficient clearance between the refrigerator and
sidewall so the door will open without obstruction. The refrigerator is
not designed for recessed installation.
• Select a space with a strong, level floor. This unit is not recommended
for carpeting or other soft, uneven surfaces.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the refrigerator’s side and the wall.
In addition, sufficient clearance (160 degrees) should be maintained to
allow the door to properly and completely open.
• The refrigerator must be correctly connected to the power supply.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• This refrigerator is not designed to be installed in an outside area such
as a garage or porch. Ambient temperatures below 50 degrees or
above 90 degrees will hinder the performance of the refrigerator.
• Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the refrigerator if you unplug the
unit. The unit may fail to operate if restarted too quickly.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean your refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft, dry cloth, the interior with a
clean, moist cloth.
• Insert the power cord into the power supply outlet.
• Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator operate for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the thermostat to a mid-range setting (“4”) on the thermostat control.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
• To control the internal temperature, adjust the thermostat dial. “1” is the
warmest setting; “7” is the coldest setting.
• To turn the refrigerator off, turn the thermostat dial to “0”. Turning the
temperature dial to “0” stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power
supply to the unit. To turn off the power supply, unplug the refrigerator from
the power supply outlet.
• The dial may be set any place on the scale. It does not have to be set exactly on
a number.
• To make ice cubes in the freezer compartment, adjust the thermostat to the
coldest setting (“7”).
DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice/frost is approximately 1/4 inches thick.
• Set the thermostat dial to “0” to defrost.
• Remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
• Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice/frost to melt.
• Remove large pieces of ice as needed.
• Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice.
• After defrosting, remove accumulated ice/water and wipe the freezer compartment dry with a soft
cloth.
• Restart the unit.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
• Cleaners: Never use harsh, abrasive cleaners, heavy-duty cleaners, or solvents on any surface.
• Exterior: Wipe with damp, sudsy cloth, rinse, and dry. For stubborn stains and for periodic waxing,
use silicon wax.

sharp instruments to scrape off ice/frost.
• Refrigerator Section: Wash shelves, other removable parts, and interior in warm, sudsy water, rinse

REVERSING THE DOOR
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• POWER CORD REPLACEMENT: If the refrigerator’s power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a
qualified repair agent.
• The refrigerator should be cleaned on a regular basis. It is necessary to have an adequate ventilation
space around the refrigerator in order to attain proper performance, dissipation of heat, maintain
efficiency, and lower power consumption. Clearance of a minimum of 5 inches should be
maintained at the rear and sides of the unit and 8 inches at the top.
• To attain proper performance, be sure to plug the refrigerator into a properly grounded 115/60 Hz
outlet.
• Do not modify the power cord under any circumstances to allow the unit to be plugged in to a non-
grounded outlet. To avoid heat damage to the power cord, please ensure the cord does not come in
proximity to or in direct contact with the refrigerator’s compressor.
• Please avoid installing the refrigerator in a location where the unit will come in contact with water
or moisture to minimize the rusting of metal parts.
• The refrigerator should not be installed near any heat source or in a location where it will come in
direct contact with the sunlight.
