All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

DANGER

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove the grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
  • After servicing, replace all panels before operating.
  • It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
  • Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
  • Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.
  • Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
  • Unplug the appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
  • User Servicing – Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING

• FOLLOW THE WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
• Use two or more people to move and install appliances. Failure to do so can result in back or other injuries.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the refrigerator must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other sources of high heat.
• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water, and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.
• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed, per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
•  Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in the unit.
• When Replacing Your Faucet – For safety reasons do not use a spout longer than 150mm (6”).
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked, or damaged during installation.
• Check for leaks after connection.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

DANGER

Risk of child entrapment!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
Before discarding your old refrigerator:

• Take off the doors
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the refrigerator of your Serving Cart to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

NOTE: To remove the crisper and/or shelves of the refrigerator, a clearance of 10 inches is required. When placing the refrigerator inside the cart, leave at least 3/16” clearance on both sides, 1/16” at the top, and 2” at the rear. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.

• For satisfactory water drainage of the sink, and proper cabinet door function, it is important to level the Serving Cart in both directions.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas as this may result in the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord of your refrigerator. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• After connecting the appliance to the power supply, allow the Refrigerator to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing items inside.

NOTE: If you are planning on keeping the Serving Cart outdoors while not in use, use the provided vinyl cover to protect the unit from the sunlight and prevent discoloration of the cart.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord of the refrigerator is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

• This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The refrigerator’s power cords of the appliance are equipped with a grounded 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.
• This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong socket. 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 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.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the A/C power supply before attempting any maintenance.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the refrigerator to the power supply.

NOTE: Turning the appliance off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

BACKSPLASH INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
Install the backsplash to the serving cart as shown below:

ASSEMBLING THE SINK COVER

1. Place the handle over the holes on the cap, then using a screwdriver, screw in the provided handle to affix the handle onto the cap.

2. Liberally apply Teflon Tape (not included) to both water inlets.
3. Attach the connecting hose piece to the tap you wish to use to control the flow of water. Apply the cap to the unused tap.
4. Lower the faucet through the gasket and pre-drilled holes.
5. From the rear of the cart, connect your hose to the faucet. To complete the connection, open the water valve and let the water run through the hose.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Turn off the power, unplug the refrigerator, then remove all items including shelves and rack.

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 of the refrigerator.

VACATIONS

• Short vacations: Leave the Refrigerator of your Serving Cart 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 power supply. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Disconnect the power supply from the refrigerator.
• Disconnect the hose from the faucet.
• Remove all items from the storage compartment.
• Unplug the refrigerator, remove it from the Serving Cart, and move them separately.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves and basket) inside your Serving Cart Compartment and Refrigerator.
