When disposing of refrigerated appliances, special handling is often required. It is the consumer’s responsibility to comply with federal and local regulations when disposing of this product.
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark,
- Disconnect from the power supply,
- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
- Contact the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packing material before using your appliance.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
This unit is designed for freestanding or built in installation and indoor or outdoor use. Position the unit in a dry and well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the unit near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Do NOT install the unit in a location with an ambient temperature that will fall below 44°F.
For freestanding installation, 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser for energy saving. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” space on each side and at the top to ensure proper service access and ventilation. And the air vent at the front of the appliance must never be covered or blocked in any way.
Place the unit on a level surface strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance.
For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an ambient temperature between 44°-106°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.

Anti-tip Bracket Installation

To reduce the risk of tipping the unit by abnormal usage or improper loading, the appliance must be secured by properly installing the anti-tip device packed with the appliance.

Place the anti-tip bracket on the floor as shown in the figure. An anti-tip bracket must be installed at the left side.
Mark the locations of the 4 holes of the anti-tip bracket on the floor.
Use a 5/16″ masonry drill bit and insert plastic anchors.

To turn the appliance off, touch and hold the POWER key for 5 seconds until the temperature display goes off. To turn the appliance on, touch and hold the POWER key for 1 second until the temperature display lights up.
NOTE: Pressing the POWER key once can switch off the audible alarm when the alarm is on.

UP
Used to increase (warm) the set temperature by 1°C/1ºF.

DOWN
Used to decrease (cool) the set temperature by 1°C/1ºF.

ºF/ºC Selector
Select the temperature display setting in Fahrenheit or Celsius degree.

Indicator Light
The indicator light is the dot located at the bottom right corner of the display. The indicator light will be on when a multi-key function is selected. To perform a multi-key function, touch and hold the first key, then touch the second key for at least 5 seconds and then release both keys.

Setting the Temperature

The unit has two separate temperature compartments. You can set the temperature of the bottom compartment (freezer) by touching the left UP and DOWN symbols and set the temperature of the top compartment (refrigerator) by touching the right UP and DOWN symbols. When you touch either key for the first time, the LED readout will show the original temperature set previously. (The temperature preset at the factory is 0°F/-18°C for freezer compartment and 39°F/4°C for refrigerator compartment.)
The temperature you are setting will increase by one degree each time you touch the UP symbol, and will decrease by one degree each time you touch the DOWN symbol.
The range of the temperature control is from -11°F/-24°C to 11°F/-12°C for freezer compartment and from 36°F/2°C to 43°F/6°C for refrigerator compartment.
To view the set temperature at any time, touch the UP or DOWN symbol. The set temperature will temporarily flash in the display window for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current inner temperature again.

INTERIOR LIGHT

The unit is fitted with an interior LED light system which will be turned ON when the door is open and it is designed for extremely long life. It is not user serviceable. To change the LED light fitting, please contact the service department.

NOTE: Please use only the same type of LED light fittings originally provided by the manufacturer.
NOTE: When using the unit for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, there may be a variance of a few degrees between the selected temperature and the temperature indicated on the LED readout. This is normal due to the length of inactivity, and will correct itself after the unit is run for a few hours. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The unit will not restart before this time delay.

SABBATH MODE

Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place.
To initiate Sabbath mode, press the POWER and ºC/F keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds. The indicator light (the dot at the bottom right of the display) will flash four times and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON. Sabbath mode can be canceled by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically turn off after 48 hours.

TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION

In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit can remember the previous temperature settings, and when the power is recovered, the cabinet temperature will return to the same setting temperature as before the power went off.

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 food
- 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 the POWER key once can switch off the audible alarm.

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.

USING THE FREEZER

The freezer is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three months.
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
Pre-packaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT: Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the unit.

Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning control panels or any electrical parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance. If the power is off for an extended period of time, proper steps should be taken to protect your contents.

INACTIVITY

If the unit will not be used for a period of less than three weeks, leave the unit operating. If the period of inactivity is several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. Leave the door open slightly to prevent any possible moisture build-up.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before moving your unit, first be sure to remove all items from the unit.

Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the unit.
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Ensure that the unit stays securely in the upright position during transportation. 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. Overloading 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 towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these to the Terms and Conditions, the Website, or any products or services sold or distributed by or through this Website, store, or catalog will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to the Terms and Conditions.
