IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely
cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between the
doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be
careful closing doors when children are in the
area.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Turning the temperature control to the
“0”
position stops cooling but does not shut off
power to the refrigerator.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous… even if they
will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid
of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a CSA approved,
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
www.moffatappliances.ca
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

To remove a shelf, lift up the back slightly and pull forward. Some models have
multi-position shelves that can be moved to different levels.
Shelves on the door provide convenient storage for frequently used items. Some
models have doors that are deep enough to store large bottles.
This compartment is for storing fruits and vegetables.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
Cleaning the Inside
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish
. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator is a high quality,
baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for
years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then
at least twice a year.
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around the control.
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe
dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator–including door gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers,
and all plastic parts–can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the
control to the
“0”
position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door
open.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and fruit/vegetable bin by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Preparing to install the refrigerator. www.moffatappliances.ca
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50°F (10°C) because it will not
run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
Do not install it closer than 5” (13 cm) next to a range.
Do not install it in a recessed area.
Do not build in the refrigerator.
Refrigerator Location
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper air circulation.
Sides 1/2” (13 mm)
Top 2” (51 mm)
Back 2” (51 mm) from the rear cabinet surface to the wall
Clearances
Leveling Legs (on some models)
Adjustable legs
at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raised just enough that
the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs,
turn the legs
counterclockwise to raise
the refrigerator,
clockwise to lower
it.
Turn counterclockwise to raise,
clockwise to lower.
