SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove the prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
Replace all panels before operating.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Unplug the appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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 out the drawers.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

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.
The unit drawer should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
Organize and label stored items reduce door openings and extend searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

INSTALLING YOUR UNIT

This appliance is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit. This ensures proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certifi ed electrician or an authorized product service center.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing food in the refrigerator compartment.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right-hand side of the compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6”.
The range of the temperature control is from position “OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.

NOTE:

Turning the temperature control to the “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before starting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

CARE & MAINTINANCE

CAUTION: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.

CLEANING YOUR UNIT

Turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelf, and tray.
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelf and tray with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, 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.

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

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 off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

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 an upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them 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.
