LOCATION
• Two people should be used when moving the
appliance.
• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to
installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a
lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or
near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater,
as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the appliance to perform improperly.
• Do not use the appliance near water, for
example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• Before connecting the appliance to a power
source, let it stand upright for approximately
6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
• This appliance is 47 cm (18.5 inches) wide by
85 cm (33.5 inches) high by 44.5 cm (17.5
inches) deep.
• Allow 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the
back, sides and top of the appliance and all
adjacent walls.
• This appliance is intended for free-standing
installation only and is not intended to be
built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this
appliance can cause it to malfunction.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted
by turning the thermostat dial.
• The higher numbers indicate the coldest setting.
• The lower numbers indicate the warmest setting.
• The “O” position will turn off the cooling
function.
Internal temperature of the appliance can vary
based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items
stored and how frequently the door is opened.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
This refrigerator includes a manual defrost system
that should be defrosted every six months or any
time the layer of frost reaches 6 mm (1/4”) thick.
Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on
the amount of accumulated ice and the ambient
temperature.
Remove all items and unplug the refrigerator. The
ice from the freezer section will melt and drain
into a pan above the compressor where it will
evaporate. To speed up the defrosting process, leave
the door open.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during defrosting
to avoid water spilling and causing damage to
fl ooring or counter tops.
When defrosting is complete, plug the refrigerator
in, set the thermostat to 7 and allow the refrigerator
to run empty for 2 - 3 hours before returning to the
desired setting and replacing items.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas
lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
