SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• 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

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before plugging in the appliance, let it stand
upright for approximately 24 hours.
Doing this will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water
using a soft cloth.
Install the handle on the door if it is not already
attached (see detailed instructions below)
CAUTION
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in
electrical shock.
This fridge should be properly grounded for your
safety. The power cord of this fridge is equipped
with a 3-prong plug which fits with a standard
3- prong wall outlet 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.
This appliance requires a standard 110 Volt AC
60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Ensure that the wall outlet and circuit have been
checked by a qualified electrician and confirmed
to be properly grounded.
If only a 2-prong wall outlet is available, 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.
This fridge should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the
appliance. This will allow the best performance
and
also prevent overloading house wiring
circuits that could cause a fire hazard from
overheating. Never unplug the fridge by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the plug head
firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Immediately repair or replace 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.

Important Notes:
VISIBLE DAMAGE
If your shipment arrives with visible damage to the
box/carton, be sure the damage is noted on the
bill of freight or express receipt and signed by the
person making the delivery. File a claim for damages
immediately, regardless of the extent of damage.
CONCEALED DAMAGES
If damages are unnoticed until the refrigerator is
unpacked, notify the transportation company or
carrier immediately and file a concealed damage
claim with them. This should be done within (5)
days of the delivery date. Be sure to hold on to
the box/carton for inspection. We cannot assume

on the door if not already attached.
It is recommended that you install the appliance in
a place where the ambient temperature is between
60°F and 90°F (16°C-32°C). If the ambient temperature
is above or below recommend
ed temperatures,
example, placing your unit in extremely cold or
hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to
fluctuate. The operating temperature range may not
be reached.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Installing the Fridge
This fridge is designed to be either built-in or
freestanding.
NOTE: This appliance may be used for the storage of
medicine and other medical products.
Place your fridge on a floor that is strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit,
adjust the front leveling legs, or the screws on the
wheels.
Make sure that the air vent at the front of the
appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the
appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating
source. Any nearby heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Do not install in a location
where the temperature will fall below S0° F (~10°C) or
above 110° F (~43°C). For best performance, do not
install the fridge behind a cabinet door or block the
vent in the front.
Avoid installing the fridge anywhere with excessive
moisture.
Plug the fridge into a properly grounded wall outlet.
Do not plug the fridge into a power strip or 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 extensio
n cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 110 volts.
To install the handle, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the rubber gasket from the right side of
the inside of the door (you don’t need to remove
the whole gasket, just the side that covers the
openings for the screws).
2. Remove the screws from the included bag. Feed
the screws through the holes from the inside until
they poke through to the outside front of the door
frame.
3. Align the handle with the two screws, then tighten
the screws into the handle using a screwdriver
until the handle is both flush and secured tightly
against the door frame. DO NOT overtighten the
screws, as you may cause damage to the door
frame.
