MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Child entrapment and su ocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they
will “just sit for a few days.”
1. Stainless steel exposed to chlorine gas
and moisture from areas such as spas
or swimming pools may experience
discoloration. Discoloration from chlorine
gas is normal.
2. NEVER USE CHLORIDE TO CLEAN
STAINLESS STEEL.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not
remove prong, do not use an adapter and do
not use an extension cord.
• Replace all panels before operating.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your appliance be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned o
by a
switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable
fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
• 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.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug
when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the appliance 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
or your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Before the appliance 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 appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• 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 door 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 when placing them in the
unit. This cuts down on frost build up in
side the unit.
• Unit door should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
toweling.
• Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the unit less e
cient.
• Organized and labeled stored items
reduce door openings and extended
searches.
• Remove as many items as needed at
one time and close the door as soon as
possible.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
TEMPERATURE ALARM
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such as
(but not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust
could damage or permanently discolor stainless
steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals incl
uding
chlorine and pool cleaning products away from
stainless steel at all times.
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 placed inside.
• Too much warm ambient air flow 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 su
ciently cold again.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will
ensure e
ciency, 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 discolor or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend
Cleanser and a non-abbrasive cloth. Always clean
in the direction of the grain. Always finish this
process with a high quality, all in one stainless
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.
This unit is equipped with an interior LED light which
will be turned ON when the door is open and the
interior fan is stopped at the same time. You can
press to manually turn on or turn o
the light.
The unit defrosts automatically in normal operating
conditions. The evaporator behind the rear wall of
the unit defrosts automatically. The condensation
collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall
of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into
the drop 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 to defrost the unit.
To stop defrosting, repeat the same interaction.
Disconnect all power supplies and batteries
before servicing.

electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least
1.3 amperes.
EXTENSION CORD
INSTALLATION
This appliance should be properly grounded for your
safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong plug which mates with a standard
3-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the
3rd (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.
The 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 they 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
