Main components

Setting up your refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator

1Remove the interior packing.

2Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately four hours before

connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the

cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

3Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

4Wait for approximately 24 hours after the thermostat has been set before

placing any food in your refrigerator.

Finding a suitable location

• This refrigerator is designed to be free standing only.

• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the

refrigerator when it is fully loaded.

• Locate the refrigerator in your home or garage away from direct sunlight

because it may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase

electrical consumption. To ensure optimal performance, install in areas with

an ambient temperature between 41° F (5° C) and 109° F (42.8° C).

• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.

• The refrigerator door must be able to swing fully open.

Leveling your refrigerator

• It is very important for the refrigerator to be level. If the refrigerator is not

leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing

cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

• To level your refrigerator, rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) the

refrigerator or counter-clockwise (to lower).

Providing proper ventilation

Place the refrigerator at least one inch from the wall on each side to ensure proper

airflow to the compressor. Do not place the refrigerator near any heat sources,

such as a heater or stove, as this may put a strain on the compressor.

Providing a proper power supply

Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 110 V-120 V, 60 Hz power supply.

Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this refrigerator.

Note: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator helps to take some weight

off the leveling foot, making it easier to adjust.

Notes:

• The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet

which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug

firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Using your refrigerator

Setting the refrigerator temperature

• The first time you turn the refrigerator on, the control panel LEDs turn on for

three seconds, then displays the current setting (default = 3). Your refrigerator

runs continuously for several hours until it reaches the preset temperature.

down to your personal preference.

• To temporarily suspend cooling in the refrigerator and freezer, press and hold

the SET button for three seconds. The STANDBY LED turns on and cooling is

turned off. Press the SET button again to cancel standby mode and resume

cooling.

before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will

not start.

Setting the freezer temperature

• Turn the controls to adjust the freezer temperature, allow 24 hours for the

freezer to adjust and stabilize.

Using the freezer compartment

• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.

Reversing the door position

Based on the location where you plan to use your refrigerator, you may find it

more convenient to reverse the position of the door.

Preparing to reverse the door position

You will need: A standard (flat head) screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.

• Make sure that your refrigerator is unplugged and empty.

• Have someone available to assist you in the process.

• Keep all of the parts you remove to reuse them later.

CAUTION: To avoid injury to yourself or your property, we recommend that someone

assist you during the door reversal process.

Note: Images show a refrigerator that initially opens on the left side. However, your
