GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

shock hazard This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

Two people should be used when moving the appliance.
Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
Place the appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
This appliance is intended for indoor use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
This appliance is 45 cm (17.7 inches) wide by 50.5 cm (19.9 inches) high by 51 cm (20.1 inches) deep. Make sure that you leave the minimum amount of space between the appliance and all surrounding walls and vents.
Allow 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the back, sides and top of the appliance and all adjacent walls.
This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this appliance can cause it to malfunction.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FEATURES

Thermostat Dial (on rear of cabinet)
LED Lighting
Plastic Coated Wire Shelves
Adjustable Foot
Tempered Glass Door

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level.

Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet.
Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the appliance is level.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial on the back of the cabinet.

The thicker, darker part of the blue line is the coldest setting.

The thinner, lighter part of the blue line is the warmest setting.

The "O" position will turn off the cooling function.

Internal temperature of the appliance can vary based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items stored and how frequently the door is opened.

INTERIOR LIGHT

OPERATING THE INTERIOR LIGHT
To manually operate the interior light, press the switch located on the thermostat housing on the back of the appliance. This allows the interior light to remain on while the door is closed.

Note: The light will default to off. It can be turned on to run continuously. Due to energy efficiency requirements for a refrigerator in this size, there is no option to have the light turn on when the door is opened.

DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

If the appliance is placed on its back or side for any length of time during this process, it must be allowed to remain upright for 6 hours before plugging it in to avoid damage to the internal components.

Remove the screw hole covers from the upper left side of the cabinet. Remove the hinge cover and the upper hinge from the upper right side of the cabinet.
Remove the door from the cabinet. Remove the hinge hole cover from the top left side of the door and place it in the hinge hole on the top right side of the door.
Remove the solid foot from the bottom left side of the cabinet. Remove the adjustable foot and lower hinge from the bottom right side of the cabinet. Install the solid foot on the bottom right side of the cabinet. Install the lower hinge and adjustable foot on the lower left side of the cabinet.
Install the door. Install the upper hinge and hinge cover on the upper left side of the cabinet. Before tightening the screws in the upper hinge, ensure that the top of the door is level with the top of the cabinet and that the rubber gasket is making a good seal with the cabinet all the way around. Install the screw hole covers in the holes on the upper right side of the cabinet.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.

To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water or a mild detergent solution.
Wash removable shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth.
Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and some mild detergent.
It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet. Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and let dry.

Note: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any part of the appliance.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.

DEFROST

This appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost function and does not require manual defrosting. Defrost water from the appliance is channeled into a drip tray located above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.

VACATION

Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING

Remove all contents.
Securely tape down all shelves.
Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Ensure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket.
If the appliance is placed on its back or side during transportation, upon reaching the destination, allow it to remain upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.

DISPOSAL

This appliance may not be treated as regular waste, it should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your local waste removal agency or government office.
