rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in
temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.

Start-Up After Long-Term Storage:
1. If stored outside, it is recommended that the unit again
be thoroughly inspected per the storage instructions
above to address any dirt or debris from the weather
and/or animals/insects.
2. Connect the unit to electrical power and the water sup-
ply.
3. Turn unit on and conrm your desired control settings.
4. Allow 24-hrs for the unit to stabilize before loading
contents.
The following suggestions will minimize the
cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other
heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-
neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow
ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door
openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set temperature.
Energy saving tips:
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart-
ment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents
stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-
ing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature
that meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-
perature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the
appliance requires the door to be open for an extended
period of time.
