Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (220 volts, 15 amps outlet) with

proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in

order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice

since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result

in shock hazard.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or

heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in

temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even

surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard

heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected

with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigera-

tor.

WARNING:

The plug should be reachable by user after the appliance is positioned. If

the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its

authorized service agent.

The appliance must be properly earthen (grounded), especially in a place

of thick moisture.

Frozen Food

• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in pack-

ages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper stor-

age will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the

improperly packaged food.

• Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.

• Packaging Recommendations:

Plastic containers with air tight lids

Heavy duty aluminum foil

Plastic wrap made from saran film

Self-sealing plastic bags

• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.

• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• The fan circulating air inside the interior of your unit to maintain the

temperature you have selected.

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the

refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.

• Sizzling or popping sounds resulting from frost melting during the defrost

cycle and dripping on the defrost heater.

• The sound of dripping water as ice melts from the evaporator and flows

into the drip pan during the defrost cycle.

• Cracking or popping sound caused by the expansion and/or contraction

of the cooling coils during the defrost cycle.

• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
