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
materials before powering on the refrigerator.
Leveling Your Refrigerator
• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the
front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your
refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the
leveling legs are extended.
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 Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) 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
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator
and may result in shock hazard.
5
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. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front
bottom corners of the refrigerator.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards 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.

been placed in a horizontal or
tilted position for any period
of time wait 24 hours before
plugging the unit in.)

Food Storage Information
Fresh Food
• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap
or store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to
maximize shelf life.
• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in sealed plastic bags
before storing in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers.
• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in
plastic bags or containers.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
safe storage:
• Chicken
1-2 Days

Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your
refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning
may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to
avoid personal injury or product damage.
General:
• 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.
• 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.
13
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 and refrigerator. Clean
refrigerator before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and
freezer, move the temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the
refrigerator and 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.

breaker.
Food temperature appears too warm
