Warranty Information
W Appliance Co. warrants the product free from defects for 1 year labor/parts and 2 years for the compressor.
To operate your refrigerator, plug it into a grounded outlet and set the temperature control dial to a desired setting between 1 and 7. "4" is recommended for home/office use. Turning the dial to "0" stops the cooling cycle but keeps power on. Ensure proper air circulation and avoid overloading. Store food properly, wrapped or in containers, and allow hot food to cool before refrigerating. Defrost the freezer when frost is about 1/8" thick by setting the dial to "0" and allowing ice to melt. Clean monthly using a baking soda solution.
