SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION

Read this entire manual thoroughly prior to equipment set-up, operation and/or maintenance.

IMPORTANT

If the refrigerator has recently been transported on its side, allow the unit to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
Make sure all shelves and accessories are properly installed before plugging in the unit.
Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service technician for all servicing and repair needs.
Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit.
Make sure the refrigerator has reached the desired temperature before loading.

Location Guide

Install unit on a strong and leveled surface. If the surface is uneven, the refrigerator may be noisy or malfunction.
Install unit in an indoor, well ventilated area. Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and damage to the unit. Avoid direct sunlight.
For best performance, allow 6” of clearance on sides and the back of the unit during operation.
Avoid installation in high humidity and/or dusty areas. High humidity can cause the unit to rust and may decrease efficiency. Dust collected on the condenser coil may cause unit to malfunction.
Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment. High ambient temperatures may cause the compressor to malfunction.

Electrical Warnings

Ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
The refrigerator should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Each unit should have its own dedicated outlet. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
Do not use extension cords.
Ensure the refrigerator is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, unplug it from the outlet.
To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
After unplugging the unit, wait 10 minutes prior to plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments. Your refrigerator is set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33Â°F and a maximum temperature of 40Â°F. Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your refrigerator will not run constantly at this temperature setting.

HOW TO VIEW THE SET TEMPERATURE
- Push and immediately release the SET key, the set temperature will be displayed.
- To return to standard view, wait about 5 seconds or push and immediately release the SET key again.
HOW TO CHANGE THE SET TEMPERATURE
- Push and hold the SET key for 2 seconds.
- The °F LED will start to blink and the current temperature will be displayed.
- To change the set temperature push the or arrows.
- Push the SET key to store the new temperature or wait 10 seconds and new temperature will automatically be set.
HOW TO START A MANUAL DEFROST
NOTE: Units are pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. If you would like to run a manual defrost cycle at any time, follow these instructions:
- Push and hold the key for 2 seconds.
- Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.

Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32Â°F). During compressor down-time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.

OPERATION/MAINTENANCE

NOTE: It is strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician.
During maintenance and cleaning, please unplug the unit.

LOADING PRODUCTS
- Do not block the inside air duct/fan at the top of your refrigerator. Maintain a minimum clearance of 4” between products and the fan at all times.
- Ensure all shelves are level and properly secured prior to loading products.
- Do not store flammable and/or explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
- For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt and lint.
- We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
- Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
- If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth.
- If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT
- When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap.
- Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners or bleach that may damage the interior finish of the cabinet.
- Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly. Simply remove the door gasket from the frame of the door, soak it in warm water and soap for 30 minutes. Dry with soft cloth and replace.
- Check door gaskets for proper seal after they are replaced.
- Periodically remove the shelves and shelf brackets from the unit, and clean them with a mild soap and warm water.
