IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a
WARNING
a
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your appliance, follow
these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the Fridge.
• DANGER or WARNING: 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 in the garage a few days”.
• Before you throw away your old Fridge: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in
place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the Fridge or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions. Replace the fuse with the same type.

• 1
Instruction Manual
• 1 Crisper and Ice Cube

¾ Installation of Your Fridge
• This Fridge is designed to be free standing installation only, and should not be recessed or built-in
(Fully recessed).
• Place your Fridge on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the Fridge, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the heat sink.
• Locate the Fridge away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the Fridge into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center.
• After plugging the Fridge into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing
any items in the compartment.
