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 from the fridge. Clean the inside of
the cabinet by following the cleaning instructions
included in the owner’s manual. Once completed,
place an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator
to absorb any remaining odour.
How do I set the temperature?
Please reference Temperature Control in the
Operating Instructions section of the manual.
The freezer and refrigerator sections each have 5
preset temperatures. Pressing the “+” or “-” buttons
will allow you to choose which temperature you
require.
NOTE
The higher the number on the display indicates the
warmer the temperature inside the section.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 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?
Reference the energy card attached to the front of
the appliance or go to www.danby.com and visit the
corresponding product page to find a copy of the
energy card.
Can I use an extension cord?
No, an extension cord may not be used.
I am having trouble opening the door; why?
The refrigerator door may be difficult to open
immediately after closing it. This is normal and is due
to the pressure difference between the cold interior
of the refrigerator and the warm air that has just
entered the refrigerator when it was opened. The
pressure will equalize within a few minutes.
I had my fridge on its side to bring it home.
