INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION : Read all instructions before installing

•  Allow the unit to stand in place at least 24 hours after transporting or moving before plugging it in.
•  Make sure that the unit has reached the desired operating temperature before loading product into it.
•  Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit and in the space in which it will be used.
•  Verify that all accessories (shelf clips, shelves, casters, etc.) are correctly installed and in place prior to plugging in.
•  Be sure to read the manual in its entirety before using the unit.
•  Make sure that the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord or plug.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

•  Install the unit on a level surface that can support weight of the unit. Uneven surfaces may cause the unit to make noises or not function properly.
•  Install in an indoor, well-ventilated area. The unit will function more efficiently with proper ventilation. ALWAYS allow for 4” of clearance in the back of the unit.
•  This unit is not intended for outdoor use. Using it outdoors can result in decreased efficiency and may cause the unit to malfunction or become damaged.
•  DO NOT install in an area with high humidity or that is very dusty. Humidity can lead to rusting of the components or surfaces, and dust can cause the condenser coil to malfunction. Be sure to clean the condenser regularly, at least once a month, with a brush or clean cloth.
•  DO NOT install the unit near any sources of heat or moisture generating equipment. High ambient temperatures can cause the compressor to overwork, leading to higher energy consumption and gradual breakdown of the unit.

NOTE : Installing the unit in an improper location or manner may result in failure of the unit, and could void the warranty.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF
Make sure that the main power switch next to the control panel is in the On position, then press and hold the UP-ON/Off button ( ) for 3 seconds to turn on or off.

2.  Use the UP  or DOWN  buttons increase or decrease the desired temperature setting. The temperature can be set with a range of 33°f (1°C) to 50°f (10°C) for the refrigerators, and -22°f (0° C) to 0°f (-18°C) for the freezers.
3. Press SET  button to confirm the set temperature and save the setting.

NOTE : Setting the temperature control too low may result in the evaporator coil building up excessive ice which can lead to the refrigerator not cooling properly.

DEFROSTING

When the compressor is not running, the evaporator fans continue to circulate air through the evaporator coil, melting accumulated frost. The water will drain into a drain pan to be evaporated. There is also an automatic electric defrost system to keep ice from building up on the cooling system. The defrost cycle is set to operate for a preset amount of time at preset intervals. To manually start a defrost cycle, press and hold the DOWN-DEFROST button ( ) for 3 seconds.

NOTE : Opening the door often, or for long periods can cause excessive ice buildup and higher temperatures in the cabinet, and should be avoided.

NOTE : The manual defrost will only happen if the temperature is within the defrost parameters.

CONTINUOUS CYCLE
To set the unit to run in a continuous cycle, press the UP ( ) or DOWN ( ) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
NOTE : It is not recommended to put the unit into the Continuous Cycle mode as doing so may result in the evaporator coil building up excessive ice which can lead to the refrigerator not cooling properly.

LOADING PRODUCT
Before loading product onto the pre-installed shelves, make sure that all the shelf clips are securely fastened, and that the shelves are stable and level. In order to maintain proper airflow in the refrigerator, be sure to leave 2-4” of clearance between the back wall and product stored in the unit. Blocking the evaporator fans may result in the cabinet not cooling properly, and can lead to compressor failure. Always allow the unit to cool down to the set temperature before loading product into it.
NOTE : After unplugging the unit, ALWAYS wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. failure to do so could result in damage to the compressor.

Remove the screws holding the vent cover at the bottom of the unit in the front (see figure 4) to access the condenser. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer. Brush the condenser fins from top to bottom, not side to side. After cleaning, straighten any ben condenser fins with a fin comb.
