3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damaging them.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the fridge stays secure in an upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest location possible, 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 storing them in the fridge.
• Do not overload the fridge, as it forces the compressor to run more frequently, increasing the power consumption.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge, in order to prevent frost buildup.
• Do not line shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels, as they will prevent proper air circulation.

Attention: Child Entrapment Risk!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days.”

Before discarding your old refrigerator, take off the doors, and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before plugging in the fridge, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours.

Doing 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.

Install the handle on the door, if it is not already attached (See detailed instructions below)

INSTALLING THE FRIDGE

This fridge is designed to be either built-in or freestanding.

Note: This appliance may be used for the storage of medicine and other medical products.

Place your fridge on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs, or the screws on the wheels.

Make sure 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. Any nearby heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 50°F (~10°C) or above 110°F (~43°C). For best performance, do not install the fridge behind a cabinet door or block the vent in the front.

Avoid installing the fridge anywhere with excessive moisture.

Plug the fridge into a properly grounded wall outlet. Do not plug the fridge into a power strip or extension cord.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE

• Turn off the power, unplug the fridge, and remove all items, including shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda per 4 cups of water).
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area where the controls are located, or any place on or near electrical parts.
• Wash the outside of the fridge with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door frame and handle. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.

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

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and they should not affect the temperature of your fridge, as long as you avoid opening the door. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, it is recommended that you transfer all perishable/sensitive contents to a functional fridge or cooler.
To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Lay a towel down below the open front of the fridge in case any frost buildup melts and drains out.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock.

This fridge should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this fridge is equipped with a three-prong plug which fits with a standard three prong wall outlet 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 110 Volt AC 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet and circuit been checked by a qualified electrician and confirmed to be properly grounded.

If only a 2-prong wall outlet is available, 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.

This fridge should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This will allow the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the fridge by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug head firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Immediately repair or replace 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 110 volts.

INSTALLING THE STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE

To install the handle, follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the rubber gasket from the right side of the inside of the door (you don’t need to remove the whole gasket, just the side that covers the openings for the screws).
2. Remove the screws from the included bag. Feed the screws through the holes from the inside until they poke through to the outside front of the door frame.
3. Align the handle with the two screws, then tighten the screws into the handle using a screwdriver until the handle is both flush and secured tightly against the door frame. DO   NOT over-tighten the screws, as you may cause damage to the door frame.

CASTER INSTALLATION

1. Remove everything from the cabinet and lay the unit on its side on a clean, dry, and padded surface.
2. Install casters into the holes on the bottom of the unit (as shown in the picture below) and tighten screws with a screwdriver.
3. The two casters equipped with locks should be installed on the front of the unit.
4. Once all four casters are attached, stand the fridge upright on the wheels, making sure the fridge is still level.
5. Allow the unit to sit for 8-10 hours before plugging it in again. This allows the refrigerant to settle again, preventing potential malfunctions.
