For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat generating equipments.
In climates where high humidity and dew points are present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.
This is considered normal and does not affect the appliance’s performance. The condensation will evaporate when the humidity drops.

Damages caused by ambient temperatures of 40° F (4°C) or below are not covered by the warranty.

VACACTION REQUIREMENTS

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations for less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

1. If you powered the unit off, please wait at least five (5) minutes before powering it back on.
2. The ambient environmental conditions determine whether your unit can reach the actual set temperature.
3. There is a temperature allowance of +/- 2 degrees Celsius.
4. The unit requires proper airflow to perform at its highest efficiency. Do not block the front grille, or the unit will not perform as expected. Do not install the unit behind a door. When loading your unit, leave space between the evaporator and product loaded. Anything in direct contact with the evaporator is subject to freezing.

Sounds
Some sounds and noises generated by this appliance may not be common to you, however most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like floor and walls may make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following are the sounds you may be experiencing and what’s making them.

• Rattling sounds – These may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Make sure nothing is stored on top of the appliance as this may damage the appliance and also create rattling sounds.
• High-pitched sound – These may come from the efficient compressor.
• Splashing sound – Water running from the evaporator to the water bin.
• Gurgling sound — May be generated due to the refrigerant flowing in the unit.
• Fan noise – From the condenser fan circulate air within the unit.

Defrosting
The unit automatically defrosts under most ambient conditions and refrigerating settings. However some frost may build up under colder settings.
Additionally, frost may also build up under more humid ambient conditions. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost prevents the door from closing properly, power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to remove frost with sharp objects.
This may damage the appliance.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
