FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the watts and amps used?
This information can be found on the rating plate
located on the back of the cabinet.
How much does it cost to run the
refrigerator?
Please refer to the energy guide.
Can I use an extension cord?
No, an extension cord may not be used.
I am having trouble opening the door;
why?
The refrigerator door may be diffi cult to open
immediately after closing it. This is normal and is
due to the pressure difference between the cold
interior of the refrigerator and the warm air that has
just entered the refrigerator when it was opened.
The pressure will equalize within a few minutes.
I had my fridge on its side to bring it home.
Do I have to let it sit? For how long?
Yes, please allow it to sit upright for 6 hours before
plugging it in.
The refrigerator smells like new plastic.
How do I make it go away?
It is common for new appliances to have a slight
plastic smell. Ensure that you have removed all
packing material from the fridge. Clean the inside
of the cabinet by following the cleaning instructions
and then place an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator to absorb any remaining odour.
