alarm function will be reactivated if the door is left open for more than 3 minutes and will beep 3 times every 3
minutes until the door is closed. The sound will stop after 10 minutes if the door is not closed.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior LED light is situated on the inside ceiling of the fridge compartment, it will turn on when the door of
the appliance is opened and will turn off when the door is closed. If the interior
light burns out, contact a certified service technician to have it replaced. Note: The functionality of the appliance is not
affected if the light is not working.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There are adjustable legs on the bottom of the front of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that
the appliance is level.
1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the appliance is level.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR
The doors are fitted with uniform sealing strips to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the fridge and freezer
compartments.
Be sure that the doors and door seals are free from obstructions and form a complete seal around the rim of the
fridge/freezer cabinets. Over-stuffing and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will prevent a good seal. It might be
hard to open the door immediately after the door is closed. This is due to air contraction in the fridge/freezer cabinets.
This pressure difference will equalize in a few seconds, making the doors easy to open once again.
LOADING THE FRIDGE AND FREEZER
Avoid packing food too tightly around the cooling plates located on the back wall of the fridge/ freezer. Allow air flow
around these plates to ensure proper operation.
When adding unfrozen food to the freezer for the first time, fill the freezer only 1/3 full and wait until that food is
sufficiently frozen
before adding more. It will also help to cool food more quickly if the food is packaged in smaller containers rather
than large ones. Food packages more than 2 inches thick will cool slowly. Avoid placing warm food in contact with cold
food.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is being pumped through the refrigerant coils.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped through the appliance and you will hear a whirring or
pulsing sound from the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you may hear a ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is “Frost Free” and does not require defrosting
WATER CATCH BASIN
There is a water catch basin located at the back of the fridge for excess water. With frost free water will flow from the
walls of the fridge compartment through the defrost water drain down into the catch basin. The hot condenser coil
runs into the water catch basin and evaporates the water slowly: Note: if the fridge has to be moved after some time, it
would be best to remove the water from the catch basin first.
