Installing Your Refrigerator  
Un p a ck in g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base  
and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside  
and outside. Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard  
used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due  
to vibration and shock.  
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed  
materials before powering on the refrigerator.  
Le ve lin g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the  
front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your  
refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.  
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your  
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower  
your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the  
leveling legs are raised.  
Pro p e r Air Circu la tio n  
To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it  
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there  
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.  
The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:  
Sides……………3/ 4 "(19mm)  
Top....................1" (25mm)  
Back..................1" (25mm)

Ele ctrica l Re q u ire m e n t  
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 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.  
In sta ll Lim ita tio n s  
• 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 refrigerator.

stops cooling in both the refrigeration  
and freezer sections. At first, set the  
dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass  
before adjusting the temperature to your  
needs.

• For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section  
whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/ 4" or more  
on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate  
more during the summer months.  
To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer  
section. Turn temperature control dial to OFF position. Defrosting may  
take a few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door open and  
place a bowl of warm water in the freezer.  
• During the defrost, water will accumulate. Use a towel to wipe off excess  
dripping water. Do not leave unattended.  
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the interior of the freezer.  
You may now reset your refrigerator to the desired  
temperature and return food.  
Your freezer has been equipped with an ice scraper  
for your convenience.

Fo o d Sto ra g e In fo rm a tio n  
Fre sh Fo o d  
• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or  
store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise  
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of  
odors and tastes.  
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.  
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to  
maximize shelf life.  
• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low  
humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crispers place the items  
in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.  
Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and  
stored in crisper with low humidity setting.  
Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in  
plastic bags or containers in crisper with high humidity setting.  
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.  
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.  
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.  
• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original  
packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for  
safe storage:  
• Chicken

• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in  
packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.  
Improper storage 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.

Plastic containers with air tight lids  
Heavy duty aluminum foil
