IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

WARNING

 

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, 
or injury when using your refrigerator 
-freezer, follow these basic precautions: 

 

  Read all instructions before using the refrigerator-freezer. 

  DANGER or WARNING:  Risk of child entrapment. 

      Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.  Junked or abandoned  
      refrigerator-freezers are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few  
      days.” 

  Before you throw away your old refrigerator-freezer:  Take off the doors.  Leave 

the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. 

  Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator-freezer. 

  Never clean refrigerator-freezer parts with flammable fluids.  The fumes can create a 

fire hazard or explosion. 

  Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of 

this or any other refrigerator-freezer.  The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 

  BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE 

 

Remove the exterior and interior packing. 

 

Check to be sure you have all of the following parts: 

 

3 Glass Refrigerator Shelves  

 

2 Freezer Drawers 

 

1 Vegetable Crisper 

 

1 Instruction Manual 

 

Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. 
This  will  reduce  the  possibility  of  a  malfunction  in  the  cooling  system  from  handling  during 
transportation. 

 

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 

 

  INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE 

 

Place  your  refrigerator-freezer  on  a  floor  that  is  strong  enough  to  support  the 
refrigerator- freezer when it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the 
leveling legs at the bottom of unit. 

 

Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit, which allows the proper 
air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. 

 

Locate the  unit  away  from  direct  sunlight  and  sources of heat (stove,  heater,  radiator,  etc.). 
Direct  sunlight  may  affect  the  acrylic  coating  and  heat  sources  may  increase  electrical 
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator- freezer not 
to perform properly. 

 

Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.  

 

Plug  the  unit  into  an  exclusive  properly  installed-grounded  wall  outlet.  Do  not  under  any 
circumstances  cut  or  remove  the  third  (ground)  prong  from  the  power  cord.  Any  questions 
concerning  power  and/or  grounding  should  be  directed  toward  a  certified  electrician  or  an 
authorized Igloo service center.
