Installation of your Appliance

• The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free-standing installation for indoor use only.

CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free-standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested. This allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the outer coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F (7°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.

Electrical Connection

WARNING

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

Built-in Under-counter Instructions

Make sure your installation does not block the front ventilation grille. The unit is designed to fit under worktops, using the height-adjustable ventilation grille to ensure that the feet are concealed from front view.
If the unit is fully integrated to be installed for fitting kitchen plinth, make sure that the ventilation gaps in the plinth are at least 300 square centimeters and remove the ventilation grilles, so that warm air can disperse unhindered. Otherwise, the appliance has to work harder, resulting in an increase in electricity consumption.
NOTE: When pushing the appliance into the niche, make sure that the mains cable does not get trapped.

Defrosting

• Under normal operating conditions, the unit requires no manual defrosting.

• The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the
  drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates.

• However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in high heat or high humidity locations. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.

Using the Freezer (if available)

• This unit is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies, and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three-star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

Temperature Alarm/Door Alarm

• An audible alarm sounds if the storage temperature is not cold enough. The temperature display flashes at the same time.
• The cause of the temperature being too high may be:
  • Warm fresh food was placed inside
  • Too much warm ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing food
  • Power failure for some time
  • The appliance is faulty.
• The audible alarm is automatically silenced, and the temperature display stops flashing when the temperature is sufficiently cold again.
• If a drawer has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will sound. Pressing the POWER key once switches off the audible alarm.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Appliance

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items, including racks and dividers.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the racks and dividers with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are located, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the doors and handles. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance before cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.

Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the drawers are opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.

Vacation Time

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of 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 drawers open slightly, blocking them open if necessary.

Moving your Appliance

1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (racks, dividers) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the drawers shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Energy-Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
• Do not keep the drawers open any longer than necessary.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Unit bins and racks should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce drawer openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the drawer as soon as possible.
