THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

WHEN YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS INSTALLED

INSPECT

Inspect for shipping damage. If unit is damaged or parts are missing, notify your Absocold dealer at once.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Remove all packing material and tape. Install on a level floor or well-supported counter. Avoid any direct sunlight, heat source, or moisture. This refrigerator is designed to be freestanding — that is, the appliance is to be installed at least 1½” from the wall and the cabinet bottom is at least ¾” to 1” above the floor or carpet, in order to let the air circulate freely around the refrigerator. If this appliance is recessed, built-inor otherwise enclosed to restrict airflow, then all warranties stated herein are null and void.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

120 volts, 60 Hz.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

(for 120-volt models only)

Must be grounded. Uses 110-120 volts, 60 Hz.

(60 cycles A.C.) Do not use extension cord. Use three-prong plug, with three-prong grounded wall outlet.

Unless the above grounding method is followed, you are not protected against severe or lethal shock, in the event of a short circuit of an electrical component or wiring of refrigerator.

CAUTION

Should you unplug refrigerator, allow at least three minutes before restarting in order to allow the start relay to function properly.

USE AND CARE INFORMATION

•TIPS ON EVERYDAY USE AND CARE TO CONTROL TEMPERATURE:

At first, set the refrigerator and the freezer temperature controls on MED. Wait 24 hours for the entire cabinet to cool, then adjust controls if needed. Setting to MIN is warmest.

Ice cream is the best check of freezer temperature. When ice cream is hard to serve, the freezer is colder than needed. Never turn Cold Control to OFF unless both compartments are empty.

Vacuum the tubing on the outside back when dusty.

Any time you won’t be using your refrigerator regularly, such as during vacation, empty and unplug it. Clean inside and block doors open.

FOR ALL CLEANING: Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda or mild soap with 1 quart warm water. No strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads should be used. Do not put the defrost tray in the dishwasher. Vacuum the tubing on outside back when dusty.

•THINGS TO REMEMBER

1.Allow 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach a new temperature setting.

2.The motor will start and stop often. It must do so in order to maintain the temperature you select.

3.Keep your refrigerator reasonably level.

4.Unplug refrigerator before doing anything with its electrical system (even changing a light bulb).
