Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door and handle. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during 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 door is 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 door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

  1. Remove all items.
  2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
  3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
  4. Tape the door 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 door open any longer than necessary. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloacbng 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 shelves and storage bins 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 stored items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Interior Light
The unit is equipped with an interior LED light which will be turned ON when the door is open. And the interior fan is stopped at the same times You canpress manually to turn on or turn off the light.
DEFROSTING
The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions. 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 a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting. Press and hold for 6 seconds, the unit will be defrosted. To stop defrost, please repeat the same interaction.

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 stored items
– 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 the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will sound. Pressing any k ey once can switch off the audible alarm.
DOOR LOCK
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the Instruction Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counter-clockwise to unlock the door.To lock the door , do the reverse operation , making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and p ut it in a secure place for safekeeping.
PREPARATION
Position the Shelf-Supports inside the racks on the sides as illustrated below, at your required level, and then place the shelves firmly on the supports.

SHELVES
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way open when pulling the shelves out of the Shelf-Supports. Any of the shelves can be removed to store larger items. When removing the shelf out of the Shelf-Supports, make sure to remove all items first
