IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Before the refrigerator/freezer 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 this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: • • • • • • • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adaptor and do not use an extension cord.
• This unit is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you allow at least 4” of clearance on all sides. • Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. When moving the appliance, do not tilt it beyond 45° from the upright position. To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator-freezer, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Introduction The CP351W is a unique two-door refrigerator with a zero degree freezer. The fresh food section is automatically defrosted; the freezer is manually defrosted. The refrigerator compartment stores fresh foods at temperatures of 34°F (1°C) and higher while the freezer maintains a temperature of 0°F (-17°C). This product is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you allow at least 4” of clearance on all sides. Installation Before Using Your Appliance 1.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the appliance. 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 technician. • This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety.
Reversing the Door Swing This appliance has the capability of the doors opening from either the left or the right side. The unit is delivered to you with the doors opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, follow the directions and diagram below. The numbers in the diagram indicate the procedure order in the instructions. If you have a problem, call Customer Service at 1-800-932-4267. 1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off. 2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
When checking the above points, if you discover that the door is not installed properly (this is apt to happen on the first try), loosen the screws holding the upper hinge, straighten the door and tighten the screws slowly with the socket wrench. After making sure that the door is installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinge. If they are not tightened, the door may slip out of position or there may be an opening between the door and the unit. 15. Stand the unit back in the upright position.
Operation Temperature Control The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is controlled by turning the thermostat dial. Higher numbers mean greater cooling power; lower numbers mean less cooling power. Set the temperature control dial to 3 for optimum refrigeration/freezing conditions under normal circumstances. Set the dial to MAX only when rapid refrigeration/freezing in your appliance is necessary. Be sure to set the dial back to 3 later on.
• If you plan on taking a long trip, make sure you remove all perishable food before you leave to prevent any odors. Storing Food in the Freezer Compartment • • • Only freeze fresh, high-quality products. Meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products and ready-made meals are suitable for freezing. Items with a high water content, e.g. lettuce, radishes, grapes, apples, pears and cucumbers, are not suitable for freezing. Pack items to be frozen in airtight containers, freezer bags or the like.
Care and Maintenance Cleaning the Appliance Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. To avoid damaging the surfaces, do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning agents. • Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and an alcohol-based cleaning agent (for example, glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol).
• • An ice or frost layer increases energy consumption, so remove the frost as soon as the layer is 1/8” thick. See Defrosting on page 9. Be sure there is adequate clearance all around the unit, as described in Installing Your Appliance on page 4.

Troubleshooting While using your appliance, you may come across some problems that in most cases result from improper handling. Many of these can easily be eliminated by following the suggestions listed here. The appliance fails to operate after connecting to the power supply. • Check that there is power in the electrical socket. • Make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat is in the operating position). The refrigeration system is operating continuously.
Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system including the compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. • During the operation of the compressor, a liquid sound is heard and when the compressor is not operating, a refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
