IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES

Before the refrigerator 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 refrigerator, follow these basic precautions, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord. If the SUPPLY CORD is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And 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.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect 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 refrigerator unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Consult repair manual or owner’s guide before attempting to service this product. All safety precautions must be followed.

• DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

  • Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
  • The refrigerator 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, 60 Hz), 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 refrigerator.
  • The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amps.
  • It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
  • All installation must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
  • Make certain that the lines are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installations.
  • Check for leaks after connection.
  • Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.
  • Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents of abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.
  • Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
  • To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

Location and Installing Your appliance

The appliance should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. It should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty.

Before you plug the appliance into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.

WARNING : Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your appliance before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your appliance.

• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
• Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• Before connecting the appliance 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.

Cabinet Leg Adjustment

There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level. It is important that the appliance is level to minimize noise and vibration. To level the appliance:

1. Move the appliance to its final location.
2. Turn the leveling leg counter – (clockwise) until it is touching the bottom of the chassis.
3. Once in place – slowly turn the leveling leg counterclockwise until the appliance is level.

BLZ-GDBEV-5.5 Glass Door

(B) Internal Lights

Two different modes: Display mode and Automatic Mode.

(1) Display Mode:

The internal lights will stay constantly illuminated whether the door is open or closed. “Display Mode is a custom/user-defined function, not a regular daily function.”

(2) Automatic Mode:

The internal lights will illuminate each time the door is opened and fade off once the door is closed. This feature is triggered by a sensor located on the front vent, this sensor allows the refrigerator to recognize when the door is open or closed.

*The default mode is Automatic Mode. To change between modes, press and hold the Interior Lights button for 3 seconds.

(C) Sabbath Mode

Sabbath mode disables system responses to user-initiated activities and all external functions, including lighting, display and audible alarms. The unit will still maintain internal temperatures and set points.

Although the display will not be visible, the temperature settings will remain active and preserve the internal temperature. Sabbath mode will remain active until it is disabled by the user.

To enable or disable Sabbath mode, Press the Power Button and simultaneously press the Increase Temperature Button twice. The interior light and control display will go dark until the user disables Sabbath mode.

(F) Other Notes

• If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
• When you use the unit for the first time or restart the unit after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time.
