IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator &/or freezer, follow these basic precautions:
 Read all instructions before using the refrigerator &/or freezer.
 DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerator &/or freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”
 Before you throw away your old refrigerator &/or 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 &/or 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
&/or freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
➢ Before Using Your Appliance
 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
▪ 1 or 2 Storage Baskets (quantity of storage baskets depends on model)
▪ 1 Thermometer (attached to storage basket)
▪ 1 Drain Plug (depends on model)
▪ 1 Instruction Manual
▪ 1 Plastic Scraper
 Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
 Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water or mild detergent aqueous solution using a soft cloth that won’t
scratch the surface of this appliance.
➢ Installation of Your Appliance
 Place your refrigerator &/or freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator &/or freezer when it
is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator &/or freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of unit.
 Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser.
 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 damp, very humid or moist areas.
 Ensure the refrigerator &/or freezer is level on a secure surface.
 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 directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
