Features and Use
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
- Temperature Control The temperature can be controlled with the temperature control knob.
- Before using the refrigerator, allow the unit to run for approximately one hour.
- The temperature range of the appliance is approximately 0°C (32°F) to – 10°C (50°F).
- To adjust the temperature turn the knob clockwise. The higher the number the lower the temperature. Generally, position ‘3’ or ‘4’ is suggested to make a normal setting. The “OFF” position will stop the compressor while the “7” position will allow the compressor to continually run. Do not keep the knob at this point for more than 4-5 hours.
- The temperature inside the appliance can vary based on ambient room temperature, the frequency that the door is opened and the amount of fresh food that has recently been added to the unit.
Tips when storing fresh food
- Do not transport the unit on an incline of more than degrees.
- Remove all packaging before using the Refrigerator.
- Install the Refrigerator in a well ventilated area, with a 4” clearance around the cabinet walls for proper air circulation.
- Ensure the Refrigerator is placed on a stable surface to avoid vibration and noise.
- Install the Refrigerator in a dry area, do not use under direct sunlight, keep away from any corrosive materials.
Important: Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove frost as this can damage the refrigerant lines. If these lines are accidentally pierced it will render the refrigerator inoperable and will void the manufacturer’s warranty
Proper Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning:
To avoid electric shock always unplug your appliance before cleaning. Ignoring
this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution:
Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

- Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your appliance.
- Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance.
Door Gaskets:
- Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.
- Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal
Power Interruptions
- Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in it. Clean appliance before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
- For long vacations or absences, empty food from appliance, unplug the unit and clean the door gaskets according to “General cleaning” section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving always move the appliance vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
Trouble Shooting
No Power
- Afuse may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped; check the fuse box or
- Plug not fully inserted into the wall outlet; make sure the power cord is plugged in
Internal Temperature Not Cold Enough
- Temperature setting is too warm; turn the temperature setting down
- The door is not shut properly or opened excessively; make sure the lid is
- Recently added a large quantity of warm food to the cabinet; remove some of the new items until the refrigerator/freezer cools down
- Close proximity to heat source or direct sunlight; move the refrigerator/freezer to another area
- Ambient temperature or humidity is very high; move the refrigerator/freezer to another area
Having Trouble Opening the Door
- The appliance door may be diffificult to open immediately after closing it.
- This is normal and is due to the pressure difference between the cold interior of the appliance and the warm air that has just entered the appliance when it was opened. The pressure will equalise within a few minutes.
What are the watts and amps?
- This information can be found on the rating label located on the back of the cabinet.
Compressor runs too frequently
- This may be normal to maintain constant temperature during high temperature and humid days.
- Doors may have been opened frequently or for an extended period of time.
- Check gasket for proper seal.
- Check to see if doors are completely closed.
- Check if the temperature setting is too cold
There is an odor inside
- Interior needs cleaning.
-
Foods improperly wrapped or sealed are giving off odors.
