CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WHAT TO DO …
When the fridge is not in use for a prolonged period:
Remove the plug from the outlet.
Remove all contents from the fridge.
Dry the interior and leave the door open for a few days.
When you wish to move the fridge:
Secure all movable parts and contents.
(Package them separately if necessary.)
Transport the fridge only in an upright position. In any other position you may damage the
compressor.
Before calling service, please follow the checklist below.
This may save you an expensive service call.
If the refrigerator is not cooling properly:
Check to see that the door is closing properly and the door seal is not damaged.
Check that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many goods stored. (The
fridge is overloaded)
Did you store anything hot, without first cooling it to room temperature?
Is there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?
If the fridge starts making any unusual noises:
Is it wobbling? Re-level the unit and check if it now operates normally.
Have any objects fallen behind the fridge? If so, remove them and check if operation is now
normal.
Are any containers inside the fridge vibrating or resonating? If so, rearrange them then
check to see if operation has returned to normal.
WARNING –
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is
used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
