INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using the refrigerator

Clean the interior surface with warm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the refrigerator

Dimensions in mm

W	D	H	A	B	C(°)	E	F
470	439	635	790	883	130±5	50	50

Place the refrigerator on a concrete, tile floor, or waterproof floor is recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture; it might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
There are no wheels on the bottom of the unit, please lift it when moving the appliance. Don’t push or pull it when it sits on the flooring which might be damaged or scratched.
Allow at least 5cm of space between the back and sides of the Cooler to allow proper air ventilation. Insufficient space will result in cooling and working life issues and voiding warranty.
Place the Cooler on a leveled/even floor surface that is strong enough to support the weight of the Cooler when it is fully loaded to prevent vibrations.
Place the Cooler on a concrete, tile floor, or waterproof floor as recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture; it might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
The bottom feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust the two feet to keep the Cooler leveled or elevated.
Situate the Cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of direct heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may cause an increase in power consumption.
This unit is not designed for outside installation.
Avoid situating the Cooler in moist or infestation areas.
Plug the Cooler into a dedicated, 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 certified electrician or an authorized service center.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the Cooler.
Do not place heavy items on the top of this appliance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the Cooler. Overloading the Cooler forces the compressor to work harder. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the Cooler. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the Cooler.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Temperature setting

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial. The thermostat can be set between 1 and 7.
1 is the warmest setting.
7 is the coldest setting.
Set the dial to OFF to turn off the cooling function.
Under normal operating conditions (in spring and autumn), it is recommended to set the temperature at 4.
In summer when the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended to set the temperature at 3-4, to guarantee the Beverage Cooler
temperatures and reduce the refrigerator’s continuous running time; and in winter when the ambient temperature is low, it is recommended to set the temperature at 5-6 to avoid frequent start/stop of the Beverage Cooler.
Notes: The temperatures may vary concerning settings due to compressor cycles and outside conditions.

Please note the appliance is using a sensitive thermostat, it will keep a more stable temperature inside the unit. To do so, the compressor might cut in and out more often which is normal operation of the unit.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting your cooler

There is slight frosting on the surface of the evaporator during the use of the product. The beverage cooler defrosts during the cut-in and cut-off time of the temperature controller. After defrosting, the water will be collected in the water pan through the water pipe inside the box, and the heat generated during the operation of the compressor will evaporate the water in the water pan.

Cleaning the cooler

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly and properly maintained thereafter.
Turn off the Cooler and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
Remove all food content before washing the inside with a damp cloth soaked in lukewarm water and dishwasher liquid. Don’t use any chemical detergent which might damage the coating or inner liner of the cooler.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently as improper cleaning can cause the seal to dislodge and tear.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Vacation Time

Turn off the Cooler first and then unplug the unit from the powerpoint.
Remove all food.
Clean the Cooler.
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to children’s play.
Short vacations: Leave the Cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly.

Repositioning and Relocating the Cooler

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food and drinks.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your Cooler.
Tape the doors to be closed securely.
It is recommended that the Cooler stays in the upright position during transportation. But if it is laid down for transport purposes, please lift it immediately after the job is done. Please wait for at least 24 hours before putting in the power.
