INSTALLATION

TRANSPORT
Use two or more people to move the refrigerator.

VENTILATION SPACE
For the refrigerator to function efficiently, it MUST be placed in an adequately ventilated space to allow for heat dissipation. It is important to allow at least 4 inches (100 mm) of space behind and on each side, and 8 inches (200 mm) of space above the unit. The door requires approximately 21″ (533 mm) of space in front of the refrigerator to open. To fully utilize the refrigerator, space should be allowed for the door to open fully to 160°

STABLE SURFACE
The refrigerator must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the refrigerator’s front leveling legs to assure quiet operation and prevent rattling when the compressor activates.

POWER SUPPLY

This refrigerator is equipped with a 115V/60Hzsingle-phasee motor. If the power supply to the refrigerator is subject to large fluctuations, it is strongly advised to utilize a wall-mounted power conditioner surge protection device to prevent damage to the electronic components and motor. The power plug is a standard grounded three-prong non-polarized flush mount, which allows for easier connection to power outlets. The power plug must be connected to the outlet directly, and never to an extension cord.

POWER CORD

Never shorten or lengthen the power cord. Do not fold or coil the power cord. IMPORTANT – Never place the excess length of the power cord into the compressor enclosure in the back of the refrigerator. This action creates a dangerous heat build-up which can melt the cord, cause an electrical hazard, and may potentially cause a fire.
Touching the power cord to the compressor at the back of the refrigerator during operation can create an electrical hazard and damage the compressor. If the power cord is damaged, it mustbe immediatelye replaced by a trained service provider, as special tools are required.

CLEAN BEFORE USE

To remove any manufacturing dust and residual odors, wipe the refrigerator inside and out with a damp cloth and a solution of baking soda and warm water (2 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. water).
Wipe away any residual baking soda with a clean, moist cloth. Allow to dry before operating. Periodically clean the refrigerator with a sponge or cloth moistened with mild soapy water, or baking soda and water.

PROTECT FROM MOISTURE

Heavy moisture in the environment can cause degradation to the insulation, as well as rust to the cabinet, compressor, and/or power supply. Do not spray the refrigerator with water.

PROTECT FROM HEAT

Place the refrigerator away from a heat source or direct sunlight.
The hotter the operating environment, the harder the compressor has to work to keep the contents cold, which will shorten the operating life. Do not cover the refrigerator with tarps or other items while operating, as this may cause overheating.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Your refrigerator is only designed for the storage of food and beverages.

DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

TOOLS NEEDED:

DEFROSTING THE CHILLER

The chiller compartment may not reach temperatures low enough to freeze foods. It works well when the food is already frozen before storage. It is designed for ice-making and short-term storage of some commercially frozen foods. Place frozen food into the chiller as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
If frost builds up to 1/8″ (3.1 mm) or more, the chiller compartment should be defrosted. Frost build-up impedes efficient operation and causes the compressor/motor to work harder to keep the contents cold, which shortens operating life. Frost usually forms from the atmosphere when the door is opened or from the moisture content in stored food.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to clean and maintain the refrigerator once a month. When performing maintenance, make certain the refrigerator is unplugged from the power outlet. Wipe the inner and outer surfaces of the refrigerator clean with a damp cloth. If needed, use a gentle detergent or a solution of baking soda and water. Remove any residue with clean water and a soft cloth, then dry with another cloth. Once clean, you may use a common kitchen appliance wax on outer surfaces. Inspect, clean, and maintain the rubber gasket around the door. A small amount of petroleum jelly applied to the bracket side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
