Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from improper handling during transportation.

This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this

refrigerator 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 ground prong from the power

cord supplied.

This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with

three-prong ground.

This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to

prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and

pull straight out from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a

qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an

extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

Control

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator 

compartment on the top.  The refrigerator compartment

temperature control ranges from “1”, cold setting, to “7”,

coldest setting.  The first time the unit is turned on, adjust

the temperature control knob to a higher (colder) setting 

and run for at least 24 hours before readjusting the temeparture

and placing food inside.  This will ensure the cabinet is

thoroughly chilled before food is placed into the refrigerator.

If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the

thermostat by one increment at a time. After each movement of the control knob, allow

several hours for the unit to adjust completely. Large amounts of food may lower the

cooling efficiency of the appliance.

Compartment

This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. The storage life
of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the
temperature in the freezer compartment.  The freezer
temperature control is located on the freezer compartment’s
interior back panel. For the best performance, leave the
freezer control at the midpoint and adjust the refrigerator
compartment temperature control. Adjust the freezer control
one increment at a time until the desired temperature is
reached.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Refrigerator

x

Disconnect the electrical unit from the wall outlet.

x

Clean interior and parts with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda
solution. A solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda to a quart of water will clean and
neutralize odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

x

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

x

The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a warm damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

x

Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard.

Vacation Time

x

For long vacations, remove all food. Then, unplug the electrical cord from the wall
outlet.

x

Clean the interior and leave doors open to avoid possible odor or mold formation.

x

Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to
child’s play.

Moving Your Refrigerator

x

Disconnect the electrical cord from the wall outlet.

x

Remove all the food and securely tape down all loose items such as shelves,
drawers, and doors.

x

Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips

x

The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

x

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.

x

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.

x

Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches

Changing the Reversible Door

Before reversing the door swing, ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty. Provide

additional support for the doors while hinges are being removed. Do not depend on the door

magnets to hold the door in place. It is recommended that two people perform this task. DO

NOT lay the appliance completely flat as this may damage the coolant system.

Unscrew and remove the middle 

hinge and middle hinge washer. 

Reserve the screws. Lift the 

refrigerator door up and away 

from the appliance.

Remove top hinge cover.  Unscrew 

and remove the top hinge and top 

hinge washer. Reserve the screws.

Lift the freezer door up and away

from the appliance.

Included parts

Unscrew and remove the bottom right hinge. 

Reserve the screws. Remove screw covers from 

opposite corner (left) and cover exposed 

holes (right).  Attach bottom left hinge with the 

reserved screws.

Remove right pin assemblies from the bottom 

of the freezer and refrigerator doors. On the 

opposite side, attach the replacement pin 

assemblies (located in the plastic bag with the 

Use and Care Manual) with a screwdriver. 

Note: You must re-use the screws from the pin

assemblies that are removed in this step when 

attaching the new assemblies.

Place the refrigerator door on the bottom left 

hinge.  Ensure the door is aligned horizontally 

and vertically.  Attach middle hinge to top (left) 

of refrigerator door, attach washer to the back 

of hinge, align with holes and affix to middle 

beam with reserved screws.  Fasten with 

screwdriver (not included).

Place the freezer door on the middle
hinge. Ensure that the door is aligned
horizontally and vertically, and that the
gasket seals on all sides before attaching
the top hinge. Attach the top hinge and
