Before Connecting Your Refrigerator General instructions: Remove the base, packaging and accessories. Remove the adhesive tape residue with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and a mild liquid soap. Choose the location for the refrigerator. The area should be kept clean and dry to avoid rust.
Installing Your Refrigerator Before inserting the plug into the AC outlet, clean the interior of your refrigerator using a cloth or soft sponge and mild soap, or a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water. Electrical connection: For residential use, a 120V AC, 60Hz power source is required. Ideally your set-up should be equipped with a main switch and separate balanced circuit, protected by fuses and/or a circuit breaker with a maximum of 15 to 20 Amps.
Ask a qualified electrician to inspect the wall outlet and the electrical circuit, to ensure that the circuit is properly grounded. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician from an authorized service center in order to avoid any risk of accident. Warming of areas near the freezer: Your freezer comes equipped with a device that prevents condensation. The heating of some external zones of your refrigerator is normal.
Defrosting and air circulation: It is not necessary for you to defrost your refrigerator since it defrosts automatically. The cooling system guarantees the even circulation of cold air and its distribution to all parts of your refrigerator, thus maintaining the optimum temperature throughout. It is important that the air vents are never obstructed. Crisper drawer(s): The crisper drawer is designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh.
Door bins: The bins on the doors can be used to store cans, large and small bottles, and in some models, eggs. The bins are designed ergonomically so that items can be reached easily. Tips for Using the Refrigerator We recommend storing food in containers with lids or wrapped in airtight materials such as aluminum foil, plastic containers or plastic wrap. It is also a good idea to place ice cubes and food that you would like to freeze rapidly on the freezer shelf.
Cleaning Your Refrigerator Always disconnect the refrigerator plug from the outlet before cleaning or before starting a technical revision. Never use toxic products (ammonia, bleach, etc.), abrasive substances (pastes) or fibers as they can damage the refrigerator. Use a soft sponge or a cloth that has been soaked in a solution of mild soap in water. Rinse and dry well with a clean, dry cloth. You can also use a solution of one spoon of bicarbonate of soda and two quarts of warm water to clean the interior.
General Information Trips and absences: For prolonged absences, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet. Leave your refrigerator empty and clean. This includes the ice trays. Leave the door ajar, placing an object behind it to prevent it from closing. This facilitates air circulation and discourages the formation of mold and odors. During short absences, your refrigerator can stay connected. But be aware that there is always the possibility of power outages while you are away.
Compressor hum This is a normal sound caused by the running of the motor. It means the compressor is functioning. Gas expansion The expansion of gas is a characteristic of a refrigeration system. It is similar to the noise heard when filling a gas cylinder. Defrosting This sounds like running water. It occurs when the refrigerator is going through the defrosting process. Bubbling sound This occurs during the defrosting cycle and stops heat from entering the unit.
