4.9 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Compact Fridge Removing the crisper Note: You can remove the freezer drawer in the same way that you remove the crisper drawer. The crisper is designed to store fruits and vegetables. Putting fruits and vegetables inside the crisper helps avoid losing moisture and prevents flavor from getting into other foods. 1 Open the refrigerator compartment door all the way. 2 Lift the crisper drawer with its glass cover up, then pull the crisper out.
7 Make sure that you keep the door gaskets (seals) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your refrigerator run efficiently. CAUTION: Make sure that the door gaskets are completely dry before you plug your refrigerator into the power outlet. 8 9 Dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place. Plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.
4.9 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Compact Fridge • Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside your refrigerator. • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. • Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling to line shelves. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient. Troubleshooting CAUTION: Don’t try to repair your refrigerator yourself.
PROBLEM SOLUTION A layer of frost occurs in one of the compartments. • If the freezer is opened frequently or kept open too long, a layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s interior walls. • Make sure that the air outlets are not blocked by food. • Make sure that the doors are fully closed. The refrigerator door is hard to open or close. • When you open the refrigerator door, warm air rushes inside. When you close the door, the warm air rushes to the condenser which causes a vacuum.
4.9 Cu. Ft. Bottom Mount Compact Fridge PROBLEM SOLUTION Water condenses on the outside of my refrigerator. • Condensation on the exterior surface and door seal is normal when the room humidity is high. • When you open the door, warm, moist outside air meets the cold dry air inside your refrigerator. This is normal. Specifications External dimensions (H × W × D) 47.9 x 19.7 x 21.3 in. (121.6 x 50 x 54 cm) Internal dimensions (H × W × D) Refrigerator compartment: 20.1 x 16.5 x 16.5 in. (51 x 41.
