Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall
of the ice tray compartment
becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a
sharp or metallic instrument to
remove frost as it may damage the
cooling coils. (A punctured cooling
coil will cause serious problems
and void the warranty.) We
recommend using a plastic scraper.
Do not use any electrical device
in defrosting your refrigerator.
Refrigeration Installation
Location: Refrigerator is designed for free-standing
installation only. It should not be recessed or built-
in. Install refrigerator on a base strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator. If the base is not
level, adjust the feet of the refrigerator.
When Going on Vacation... For extended vacations
or absences, unplug the refrigerator and clean the
interior. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
soda inside and leave the door open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
leave the control at regular setting. However, if room
temperature is expected to drop below 40"F. follow
the same instructions as for extended vacations.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

How to Connect Electricity

For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a three-prong
mates
with a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
To defrost, remove foods and ice
put drip tray in place, and set
temperature control dial at "OFF'.
position. Defrosting usually takes a
few hours. To defrost faster, keep
the door open. Also, pouring warm
(not hot) water on the frosted part
may speed defrosting. Do not use
boiling water—it may damage
plastic parts. After defrosting,
empty water from the drip tray.
Important.. .Please
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
Wash the drip tray in warm water.
Wipe the ice tray compartment with
a damp cloth. Then turn the
temperature control to the desired
setting and return food and ice trays
to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If ice buildup is very
thick, it may keep the ice tray
compartment door from opening or
closing completely. Don't try to
force it open; after defrosting, the
door will open and close easily.
If refrigerator is in a 40"F. or colder room, it will
operate but it will not cool properly. Also see Energy-
Saving Tips regarding location.
Clearance: Allow the following clearances for proper
air circulation: Top, 12" Back, 5" Sides, 1/2"
When You Move... Disconnect the power cord from
wall outlet, remove food and defrost refrigerator.
Then clean and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as ice trays and drip tray
by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position only
during actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be
secured in van to prevent movement. Protect outside
of refrigerator with blanket.
Read Carefully
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
