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.

Refrigerator Features And Use  
General Features  
Adjustable temperature dial:  
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 OFF 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  
temperature 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. # 4)  
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.  
fig. # 4  
To use the interior flip shelf: (see fig. #4)  
1. Simply flip the shelf as shown in the diagram. This is designed to  
give you extra storage for tall bottles.

Using the Dispense-A-Can™  
Your refrigerator is equipped with the  
convenient “Dispense-A-Can™”

simply draw one out from the bottom. It  
is that easy.

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

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.
