Setting up your refrigerator

Before using your refrigerator

  • Remove the exterior and interior packing.
  • Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately four hours before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
  • Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Finding a suitable location

  • This refrigerator is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
  • Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
  • Allow five inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator and any surrounding walls. This allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator level.
  • Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, and so on). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will hinder the performance of this refrigerator. This refrigerator is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
  • Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.

Leveling your refrigerator

  • It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
  • To level your refrigerator, turn the leveling foot clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator or turn it counter-clockwise to lower that side.

Note Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator helps to take some weight off the leveling foot and makes it easier to adjust

Providing proper ventilation

Place the refrigerator at lease five inches from the wall to ensure proper airflow to the compressor. Do not place the refrigerator near any heat sources, such as a heater or stove, as this may put a strain on the compressor.

Providing a proper power supply

Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 110V-120V, 60Hz power supply.

Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this refrigerator.

Using a 3-prong plug and outlet

Using a grounding adapter

Notes

  • The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
  • Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Setting the thermostat

Note The refrigerator’s temperature ranges from 32° to 46.4°F (0° to 8°C).

1. The first time you turn the refrigerator on, adjust the thermostat to “4” and let your refrigerator cool completely before putting food in. A full 24 hours is recommended.

2. After it is fully cooled, test the temperature and adjust towards “1” to make it less cool or towards “7” to make it cooler, as needed. The “4” setting should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

Reversing the door position

You will need: A 10 mm socket driver and a Phillips screw driver available.

  • Make sure that your refrigerator is unplugged and empty.
  • Have someone available to assist you in the process.
  • Keep all of the parts you remove to reuse them later.
  • Removing the door requires that the refrigerator be tilted backwards. Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest postion.

Notes

Do not lay the refrigerator completely flat as that could damage the coolant system.

  1. Remove the screw holding the top hinge cover to the top of your refrigerator, then remove the top hinge cover.
  2. Remove the screws holding the top hinge to your refrigerator, then remove the hinge.
  3. Remove the screw hole covers from the top left side of your refrigerator.

4. Pull the door upwards and remove it from the refrigerator.

5. Unscrew the left leveling foot, then remove it.

6. Remove the screws holding the bottom hinge and door stopper to the refrigerator, then remove the hinge and the stopper.

7. Install the leveling foot you removed from the left side into the right bottom of your refrigerator.

8. Install the bottom hinge and the door stopper on the right bottom of your refrigerator using the screws your previously removed. Tighten the screws.

9. Align the hole in the bottom left of the refrigerator door with the bottom hinge pin, then install the door on the hinge pin.

10. Place the top hinge pin into the top of the refrigerator door, then install the top hinge on the top left of the refrigerator with the screws your previously removed.

11. Check the fit and alignment (vertical and horizontal) of the door and make sure it that moves freely open and closed, then tighten the screws holding the top hinge.

12. Install the screw covers previously removed into the holes in the top right of the refrigerator.

13. Adjust the leveling feet to level the refrigerator.

Maintaining your refrigerator

Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.

When you first receive it, wipe the case with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your refrigerator looking new.

Caution

To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:

  • Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
  • Abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning the interior of your refrigerator:

  1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
  2. Remove all food.
  3. Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda solution.
  4. Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
  5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Shutting down your refrigerator - long vacations (several months)

  1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
  2. Remove all food.
  3. Clean the refrigerator.
  4. Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor.

Caution Use extreme caution with children. The unit should not be accessible to child's play

Moving Your Refrigerator

  1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
  2. Remove all food.
  3. Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
  4. Tape the doors shut.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.

Tips on saving energy

  • Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.
  • Let hot foods cool before placing them in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
  • Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
  • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.

Insignia NS-CF33BK8 Questions and Answers


#1 This has a Freezer listed in the Specifications--I don't think that is the case, correct? I'm going to assume it is a misprint--I am just looking for a fridge with no freezer
It DOES NOT have a freezer. I too did not want a freezer, one of the reasons I bought this particular model of mini fridge. It works very well. It suits our needs perfectly as an extra fridge for the rec room in our basement.

#2 I have my fridge set to about level 4, does your fridge produce ice on the cold plate inside? Mine does and tends to do a popping noise when it is cooling.
Yes it does have a thin ice build up on the back plate. Not sure about the noise bcse I keep it in the finished basement and use it mainly on weekends. Have not noticed a noise. I also have it set at 4.

#3 We just bought this fridge and first of all the back is freezing up and then melts. The sides are very hot. Is this normal. We are keeping it in our garage which is very hot right now.
It is normal for the back of the unit to freeze and for the sides to feel warm. Make sure the garage temperature is under 110 °F for the fridge to work.

#4 What type of a plug does this have?
It is a heavy duty cord with the normal 3 prong plug
