1.4 Child safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags,
and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should never use
these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and
can quickly cause suffocation.
1.5 Important safety instructions
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
Do not store explosive substances such as
aerosol cans with a flammable propellant
in this appliance.

destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
ENGLISH 3
WARNING!
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
1.6 Proper disposal of your
refrigerator or freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days”. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator or freezer, follow the
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
http://www.energystar.gov/recycle for
more information on recycling your old
refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may
not easily climb inside.
• Have it removed by a qualified service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may
also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be
subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
1.7 Electrical information
IMPORTANT
Turning on the appliance controls to
OFF will disable the appliance cooling
system but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn off
power to the appliance you must
unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
• The appliance must be plugged into its
own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15
Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The
power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. The
receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
WARNING!
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by an authorized service
technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the plug
4 ENGLISH
firmly, and pull straight out from the
receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning
and before replacing the light bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the appliance with
insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not
covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull
cord to prevent the appliance from
being turned off accidentally.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power
cord in any manner.
WARNING!
Do not, under any circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass the grounding
prong (A). Always use the power cord
with a three-prong grounded plug and
grounding type wall receptacle.

NOTE
The exterior walls of the appliance
may become warm as the compressor
transfers heat from the inside. The
temperatures may be even 30°F
higher than the room temperature. In
hotter climates it is important to allow
enough space for air circulation
around the appliance.
ENGLISH 5
NOTE
If you place the appliance with the
door hinge side against a wall, you
may have to allow additional space so
the door can be open wider.

that it is level, with all bottom corners
resting firmly on a solid floor. You can
adjust this using the two leveling feet
located at the front bottom of the

containing acetic acid.
6.2 Defrosting
Before defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, use a plastic
scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a
pulling motion.
IMPORTANT
Do not use metal instruments to
remove the frost.
It is important to defrost and clean the
freezer when 1/4 to 1/2" of frost has
accumulated.
WARNING!
Always unplug the appliance prior to
defrosting.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle.
IMPORTANT
Turning the control to OFF turns off
the compressor, but does not
disconnect power to other electrical
components.
Defrosting
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on
the upper part of the freezer due to warm,
moist air entering the appliance when the
door is open.
Remove food and leave the door open
when defrosting the appliance.
