ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from over heating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 1.3 amperes.

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

It is recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 50°F and 109.4°F (10°C-43°C). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The operating temperature range may not be reached.

You can press manually to turn on or turn off the light.

Defrosting

• The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating conditions.
• The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drip 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, the unit will be defrosted.
• To stop defrost, please 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 was placed inside
• Too much warm ambient air flowed in 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 sufficiently cold again.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, 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 discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel 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.

CAUTION

• Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discolorations of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal. Follow exterior cleaning instructions.

NEVER USE CHLORIDE TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL.

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

• VACATION TIME

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less then 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. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the drawer open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the drawer shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

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 drawer 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 placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build up inside the unit.
• Unit drawers 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 drawer openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the drawer as soon as possible.
