WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
1. Child entrapment and su ocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a
few days.”
WARNING
1. Stainless steel exposed to chlorine gas and moisture from areas such as
spas or swimming pools may experience discoloration. Discoloration from
chlorine gas is normal.
2. NEVER USE CHLORIDE TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.
POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should
not a ect the temperature of the appliance if the number of times the drawer
is opened is minimized. If the power is going to be o for a longer period of
time, take 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 o 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 · Remove all items. · Securely tape down
all loose items inside
your appliance. · Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to
avoid damage. · Tape the door shut. · Be sure the appliance stays secure in
the

15″ & 24″ REFRIGERATOR USER MANUAL
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
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 when placing them in
the unit. This cuts down on frost build up in side the unit.
· Unit door should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
toweling.
· Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less e cient.
· Organized and labeled stored items reduce door openings and extended
searches.
· Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as
possible.
WARNING
FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
· Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so
can result in back or other injury.
· To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must
be completely unobstructed.
· Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and below
109.4°F (43°C).
· The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other sources
of high heat.
· The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water, and drain
connections in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical
supply (115 V AC only, 60HZ), properly grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
· Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
· The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 1.3 amperes.
· It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You
may need to make several adjustments to level it.
· All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code
requirements.
· Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
· Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These
cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.
· Use this appliance only for its intended purposes as described in this
instruction manual.
· Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and
cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing door when children are in
the area.

BEFORE OPERATING
Shipment Arriving Damaged:
VISIBLE DAMAGE If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the box/carton,
be sure the damage is noted on the bill of freight or express receipt and
signed by the person making the delivery. File a claim for damages
immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGE If damages are unnoticed until the kegerator is unpacked,
notify the transportation company or carrier immediately and file a concealed
damage claim with them. This should be done within (5) days of the delivery
date. Be sure to hold on to the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume
responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
Important Notes:
CONSTRUCTION NOTES Keep all stainless steel products away from construction
zones. Construction debris such as (but not limited to) stone dust, stucco,
and lime dust could damage or permanently discolor stainless steel products.
Keep all caustic chemicals including chlorine and pool cleaning products away
from stainless steel at all times.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL PARTS & COMPONENTS
Disconnect all power supplies and batteries before servicing.
INTERIOR LIGHT This 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
time. You can press to manually turn on or turn o the light.
DEFROSTING The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions. The
evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The
condensation collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit
and flows through the drainage hole into the drop 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 to defrost the unit. To stop
defrosting, repeat the same interaction.
TEMPERATURE 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 placed inside. · Too much warm
ambient air flow 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 su ciently cold again.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure e ciency, top performance
and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other
special considerations.
Exterior cleaning for your stainless steel model:
· Your stainless steel model may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool
chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.
· Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-
in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning
will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations
will require cleaning on a weekly basis.
· DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS. · DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT
SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (This includes glass, tile and
counter cleaners). · If any surface discolor or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abbrasive cloth.
Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a
high quality, all in one stainless cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.
· USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE
STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED. · Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate
into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove.
