Door Reversal; Cleaning & Caring For Your Appliance - Impecca RC-1446 4.4 CU. FT. Manual De Usuario

• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original
carton to maximize shelf life.
• Fruit should be washed and dried, then stored in sealed
plastic bags before storing in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or
containers.
• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then
stored in plastic bags or containers.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the
refrigeration. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the
original packaging or re-wrap as necessary. Follow the sug-
gestions below for safe storage:
• Chicken 1-2 Days
• Ground Beef 1-2 Days
• Cold Cuts 3-5 Days
• Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days
• Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days
• All others 1-2 Days
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are
the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling
coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of
the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in
the refrigerator. Over loading the refrigerator forces the
compressor to run longer and thus increases energy con-
sumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality
or spoil
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing in the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax pa-
per, or paper towels. Liner interfere with cold air circulation,
making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as may items as needed at one time, and
close the door as soon as possible.

DOOR REVERSAL

1. Remove any loose items in the refrigerator and carefully
turn refrigerator on its back.
2. Remove the top hinge cover using a flat head screw driver
and gently push up.
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen and remove the
screws holding the top hinge in place.
4. Remove top hinge and carefully lift off the door.
5. Remove the screw hole plugs from the opposite side and
insert the plugs in the screw hole openings of the previous-
ly removed screws.
6. Remove both front leveling legs.
7. Loosen the screws holding the lower hinge bracket to the
refrigerator and remove screws and bracket.
8. Align lower hinge bracket on opposite side and insert
screws into the holes.
9. Align hole in the door with the door pin in lower hinge and
gently push down until firm.
10. Re-install both leveling legs.
11. Align upper hinge bracket with screw holes, insert screws
and partially secure, check that door and cabinet are prop-
erly aligned and then secure tightly.
12. Replace top hinge cover.
NOTE: As the door gets pressed in during shipping, after re-
versing the door, the gasket may have to be reset. This is done
to prevent the cool refrigerated air from escaping. If there is a
gap between the door gasket and the cabinet, set the gasket
by gently pulling it out to seal the gap.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
1. Remove the top hinge cover by using a flathead screw-
driver. Place the head under the front edge of the cap and

driver.
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and tighten the
screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover by aligning the rear of the
cover with the rear of the hinge. Press firmly on the front of
the cover until it snaps in place.
CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
A clean, damp cloth with mild detergent or water and baking
soda should be used to clean the interior of the unit, after it is
defrosted or before use.
Go over once more with a damp cloth (sans soap) to ensure
there is no residue left inside after cleaning. Clean the gasket
carefully as well for best performance.
