Initial Use

To reach the set coldness level when operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it without food
load until you hear the compressor stop. This usually takes 2 to 3 hours. Once the set temperature is
reached, load food into the refrigerator.
Note: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or
tilted position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging it in.
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob
to Recommended setting and give your refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. After it is fully cooled, test it and adjust
towards COLD to make less cool or towards COLDEST to cool more to
best suit your needs.
Note: Turning the temperature control knob to the OFF position will stop the
cooling cycle but does not shut off power to the unit.

CAUTION: DO NOT use boiling water to melt frost accumulation on freezer walls, as it may
damage plastic parts.
WARNING: DO NOT use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost from the refrigerator
interior, as damage to refrigerant tubing may occur. Tubing damage may allow flammable
refrigerant gas leakage, which can result in personal injury.
