Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days.”
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
•
Take off the doors
•
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounded) prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or
grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or
dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the
appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving
the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not
use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord is 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Appliance
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a quart of water).
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are
located, or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean, soft cloth.
•
Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the doors and handles. Do not use steel wool or a
steel brush on the stainless steel.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the doors are opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.
Vacation
•
Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the doors
open slightly, blocking them open if necessary.
Moving your Appliance
1.
Remove all items.
2.
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside the appliance.
3.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4.
Tape the doors shut.
5.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat-
producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
•
Do not keep the doors open any longer than necessary.
•
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the
compressor to run longer.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the unit.
•
Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other
personal injuries.
