FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the standard wattage and amps
used?
This information can be found on the rating plate
located on the back of the cabinet.
How much does it cost to run the freezer?
Please refer to the energy guide found with the
refrigerator or online at www.Danby.com.
Can I use an extension cord?
No, an extension cord may not be used.
I am having trouble opening the door;
why?
The refrigerator or freezer door may be diffi cult to
open immediately after closing them. This is normal
and is due to the pressure difference between the
cold interior and the warm air that has just entered
the cabinet. The pressure will equalize within a few
minutes.
I had my fridge on its side to bring it home.
Do I have to let it sit? And for how long?
Yes, please allow it to sit upright for 6 hours before
plugging it in.
The refrigerator smells like new plastic.
How do I make it go away?
It is common for new appliances to have a slight
plastic smell. Ensure that you have removed all
packing material. Clean the inside of the cabinet
by following the cleaning instructions. Once
completed, place an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator to absorb any remaining odour.
