What is Safe Plug® Technology?

MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® combination appliances utilize Safe Plug® technology, a revolutionary, patented design, to conserve electricity and reduce potential fire hazards that can be caused by overloaded circuits. This technology, built into the microwave, works by temporarily shutting off the power to the refrigerator and charging outlets when the microwave is in use. When the microwave is finished, power to the refrigerator and charging outlets resumes. Engineered with unique one-plug-to-the-wall operation, our combination appliances never draw more than 11-15 amps of current. MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® uses patented intelligent load monitoring technology to control the microwave, refrigerator and extra outlets. The two charging outlets are designed to conveniently re -charge smart phones, tablets, laptops or similar low power devices.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove the gasket, latches, lids or doors from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee the appliance harmless.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:

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

DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

CAUTION

Do not operate your refrigerator near flammable materials such as gasoline. Do not use for storage of flammable materials. Your refrigerator must be grounded. Use a 115 volt, 60 Hz outlet. If you are using this refrigerator as part of a MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® combination appliance, you must use the 115 V/60 Hz outlet located on the back of the Microwave Oven in order to take advantage of patentpending Safe Plug® technology to limit electrical draw. Do not splice cord. Do not use an extension cord.

Use a 3-prong plug with the 3-prong grounded outlet on the Microwave Oven. (This is the only method that complies with the National Electric Code, local codes and ordinances.)

UNLESS THE ABOVE GROUNDING METHOD IS FOLLOWED, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED AGAINST SEVERE OR LETHAL SHOCK IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT OF AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OR WIRING OF THE REFRIGERATOR.

When you start this refrigerator from the Microwave Oven Power Supply: Do NOT plug in while the Microwave Oven is working. WAIT at least three (3) minutes after using the Microwave Oven before plugging in the refrigerator because the electricity will be cut off during this period

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Installation of Microwave Models

Remove all packing materials and accessories. Examine the oven for any damage, such as dents or broken door. Do not install if the oven is damaged.

  1. Place the oven on top of the approved MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® refrigerator carefully lining up screw holes of the refrigerator sash with microwave side holes.
    • Do not block the inlet and outlet openings located at the rear and bottom of the oven. Blocking the inlet and/or outlet openings can damage the oven.
    • Do not remove the feet from the bottom of the oven.
  2. Attach the microwave oven to the  refrigerator by screwing in the four(4) side screws and one (1) rear screw.
    • Screws can be found in the attached bag.
  3. Plug refrigerator into the socket provided in the rear of the microwave oven.
    • The socket is intended for use with approved MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® refrigerators. Use of this socket for other appliances may be hazardous.
  4. Plug your oven into a standard 115 volt/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the electrical circuit is at least fifteen (15) amperes and that your microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit.

The MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® combination appliance will now operate within eleven (11) – fifteen (15) amps of current draw.
Installation

NOTE:

The MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® brand refrigerator and charging outlets will not operate when the oven is on. This is part of the patented MicroFridge® with Safe   Plug® technology that prevents wiring overload.  If your oven does not operate properly, unplug it from the 115 volt household outlet and then plug it back in. This unit is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than 115 volt/ 60Hz AC current.

Where to Place Your MicroFridge® with Safe Plug®

  1. This product is designed for free-standing installation only.
  2. Select a location with a strong level floor. If the floor is not quite level, adjust the height of the front legs accordingly. Do not place anything under  eitherone of the front legs or the rear of the unit.
  3. A minimum of 2 inches of clearance must be provided between the rear condenser and the wall. Providing greater rear wall clearance when space allows in order to improve air circulation is recommended; in addition, leave unobstructed space above the refrigerator and both sides.
  4. Avoid any direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the enamel coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
  5. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator and the refrigerator will have to be defrosted more frequently.
  6. Your refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug and is grounded to eliminate electrical hazards. In order to make it more effective, it must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
  7. Plug your refrigerator into the back of the microwave

Test Run Your Refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator, clean it and test run it to see if it is operating properly. If it is not, then check your electrical source. If you cannot locate  the source of the problem, contact your dealer.

  1. Set the temperature control knob to the OFF position and then plug the AC cord into an electrical outlet of 115 volt, 60Hz. The compressor motor should not run.
  2. Set the temperature control knob to the MAX position and let the refrigerator operate for 20 minutes. The freezer (ice compartment) should get slightly frosted and the motor should run smoothly with a soft hum.
  3. Rotate the temperature control knob counter-clockwise toward the MIN position. Before the pointer of the temperature control knob reaches the MIN position, the compressor motor should turn off.

ATTENTION

If the unit is turned off or unplugged, YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT. The unit will not start if you attempt to restart it in less than three (3) minutes.

How to Remove Ice Cubes from the Tray

The ice cube tray is flexible. Twist the tray to remove the ice cubes. If the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the surface, do not use a knife or other metal instrument to remove it

Defrosting

The automatic defrost timer must be set prior to the operation of the refrigerator.

  1. Plug the power cord into a 115Volt electric power outlet.
  2. Set the timer to local time:
    • Using a pen or other similar non conductive object, push the black button and hold for three seconds until LED illuminates.
    • Set the timer to the local time by pushing the black button following the instruction of this table
    • Once the time is set, the LED will blink the number of times the knob was pushed.

NOTE: This step must be completed within 10 seconds once the LED illuminates.

Local Time| 1:00- 2:59| 3:00- 4:59| 5:00-6:59| 7:00-8:59| 9:00-10:59| 11:00-12:59| 13:00-14:59| 15:00-16:59| 17:00-18:59| 19:00-20:59| 21:00-22:59| 23:00-0:59
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Setting Time| 2:00| 4:00| 6:00| 8:00| 10:00| 12:00| 14:00| 16:00| 18:00| 20:00| 22:00| 24:00
Switch Pushing Times| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9| 10| 11| 12

Example: If the local time is 16:00 at the time of the installation, the following
procedure would be followed:

  •  Push the black button and hold for three seconds until the LED illuminates.
  • Then push the black button 8 consecutive times within 10 seconds.
  • Confirm that the LED will blink 8 times

After the timer is set, the refrigerator will defrost automatically between 1:00 am and 4:00 am daily

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

Your refrigerator does not require any maintenance. Turn off your refrigerator and remove all food, shelves, trays, etc. Wash the interior liner with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Then, rinse and wipe it out. Do not use soaps, detergents, scouring powders, spraycleaners or the like for cleaning the interior liner, as these may cause odors in the refrigerator compartment.

Wash the ice cube tray, drip tray and shelves in a mild detergent solution and dry with a soft cloth.

Wipe the exterior surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy  water and dry it with a soft cloth. Normal appliance spray cleaners may be used for the exterior only.

Use only mild soap and water to clean the door gasket. Never use acid, chemical thinners, gasoline, benzene or the like to clean any part of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage the plastic parts.

Temperature Control

You can control the temperature inside your refrigerator by turning the temperature control dial. Dialing toward MAX means greater cooling power; toward MIN mean less cooling power. Set the temperature control dial to MAX only when the rapid refrigeration/freezing of foodstuffs in your refrigerator is necessary. Be sure to set it back to MED later on

Important

  • Do not operate your refrigerator for more than six hours at a stretch with the temperature control dial set to MAX. At this setting, the compressor will run continuously. Consequently, foodstuffs stored in the refrigerator compartment will be frozen and frost will form on the cooling (evaporator) unit.
  • At the control dial setting of MIN the ice compartment temperature will not remain at a sufficiently low level for ice to remain frozen solid. Usually the temperature control dial should be set at the MED position.

Before Calling for Service

We urge you to read the chart below. If the problem is not caused by defective workmanship or materials, you may be charged for service calls even during the warranty period. Before calling for service, check these few simple points:

Refrigerator not operating|

  • Is the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator set to OFF?
  • Is the unit unplugged? Be sure!
  • Is the fuse blown or the circuit breaker tripped?

---|---
Storage compartment too warm|

  • Has the door been opened frequently? Is it slightly ajar?
  • Are the shelves overcrowded?
  • Have large amounts of warm food been added recently?
  • Are the coils on the back clogged or blocked?
  • Is the temperature control dial set properly?

Excessive noise|

  • Is the refrigerator level? (Try to rock it.)
  • Are dishes vibrating?
  • Are there objects behind or on top that are shaking?
  • Does any part of the refrigerator touch the back or side wall?
  • When the motor comes on, you may hear popping or cracking sounds as metals expand or contract.

Moisture|

  • Moisture in the storage compartment is normal in humid weather.
  • Is the door opened frequently? Has the door been left ajar? Does the door fit properly?

Changing Door Hinge Location

Changing Door

Refer to the disassembly diagram and change the door hinges according to the following steps.

  1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
  2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
  3. Remove the lower hexagonal head screws  and the leg on the hinge side.
  4. Remove the other leg.
  5. Attach the bottom hinge with the hinge shaft and the leg symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet.
  6. Attach the other leg.
  7. Remove the two cabinet plug buttons and remount them in the holes from which the screws were removed in step 2.
  8. Remove the door plug button using a screwdriver and insert it in the opposite side of the door.
  9. Use the screw to attach the upper hinge and the spacer (if there is any). Do not tighten the screw completely. The direction in which the door opens has now been changed; however, the following points should be checked:
    • Make sure the door is on straight.
    • Make sure there is no space between the door gasket and the refrigerator unit itself when the door is closed.
    • Make sure that the gasket on the hinged side is not caught between the door and the unit when the door is opened or closed. (If the door is forced closed when the gasket is caught, the gasket may be damaged).
  10. After making sure that the door is installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinges.

Installing the Hinge Clip

WARNING

Do not route high-voltage electrical cords underneath the hinge clip. Only use the clip to cover low-voltage electrical cords.
