IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Other Precautions • Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. • To avoid electrical shock, unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb. • Do not operate the unit in the presence of explosive fumes.  NOTE Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical components. FIRST STEPS 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 1" (25 mm) FIRST STEPS  NOTE The exterior walls of the unit may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your appliance. This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the unit, follow these important first steps. Location Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior temperature within these boundaries. Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the unit for adequate circulation. Leveling The appliance must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.  NOTE It is very important for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. To Level Your Appliance: After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter's level to level the unit from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open. Cleaning Wash any removable parts of the appliance interior and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES. 4
