Changing Door Hinge Location
Refer to the disassembly diagram and
change the door hinges according to the
following steps.
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
3. Remove the lower hexagonal head screws
and the leg on the hinge side.
4. Remove the other leg.
5. Attach the bottom hinge with the hinge
shaft and the leg symmetrically to the other
side of the cabinet.
6. Attach the other leg.
7. Remove the two cabinet plug buttons and
remount them in the holes from which the
screws were removed in step 2.
8. Remove the door plug button using a
screwdriver and insert it in the opposite
side of the door.
9. Use the screw to attach the upper hinge
and the spacer (if there is any). Do not
tighten the screw completely.
The direction in which the door opens has
now been changed; however, the following
points should be checked:
a. Make sure the door is on straight.
b. Make sure there is no space between the
door gasket and the refrigerator unit itself
when the door is closed.
c. Make sure that the gasket on the hinged
side is not caught between the door and the
unit when the door is opened or closed. (If
the door is forced closed when the gasket
is caught, the gasket may be damaged).
10. After making sure that the door is installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the
hinges.
Defrosting
The cooling unit (evaporator) in the refrigerator compartment is automatically
defrosted whenever the compressor motor stops running. No manual control
is required.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your refrigerator does not require any maintenance.
Turn off your refrigerator and remove all food, shelves, trays, etc. Wash the
interior liner with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of
warm water. Then, rinse and wipe it out. Do not use soaps, detergents,
scouring powders, spray cleaners or the like for cleaning the interior liner, as
these may cause odors in the refrigerator compartment.
Wash the ice cube trays, drip tray and shelves in a mild detergent solution and
dry with a soft cloth.
Wipe the exterior surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water and dry
it with a soft cloth. Normal appliance spray cleaners may be used for the
exterior only.
Use only mild soap and water to clean the door gasket.
Never use acid, chemical thinners, gasoline, benzene or the like to clean any
part of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage the
plastic parts.
ATTENTION
If the unit is turned off or unplugged, YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES
BEFORE RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT. The unit will not start if you
attempt to restart it in less than three (3) minutes.
Where to Place Your MicroFridge® with Safe Plug®
1. This product is designed for free-standing installation only.
2. Select a location with a strong level floor. If the floor is not quite level, adjust
the height of the front legs accordingly. Do not place anything under either one
of the front legs or the rear of the unit.
3. A minimum of 2 inches of clearance must be provided
between the rear condenser and the wall. Providing
greater rear wall clearance when space allows in order to
improve air circulation is recommended; in addition,
leave unobstructed space above the refrigerator and
both sides.
4. Avoid any direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may
affect the enamel coating. Heat sources nearby will
cause higher electricity consumption.
5. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
very quickly on the evaporator and the refrigerator will have to be defrosted
more frequently.
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug and is grounded to
eliminate electrical hazards. In order to make it more effective, it must be
plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
7. Plug your refrigerator into the back of the microwave.
Test Run Your Refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator, clean it and test run it to see if it is operating
properly. If it is not, then check your electrical source. If you cannot locate
the source of the problem, contact your dealer.
1. Set the temperature control knob to the OFF position and then plug the AC
cord into an electrical outlet of 115 volt, 60Hz. The compressor motor
should not run.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the MAX position and let the
refrigerator operate for 20 minutes. The evaporator should get cold and the
motor should run smoothly with a soft hum.
3. Rotate the temperature control knob counter-clockwise toward the MIN
position. Before the pointer of the temperature control knob reaches the
MIN position, the compressor motor should turn off.
WARNING:
Do not route high-voltage electrical cords
underneath the hinge clip. Only use the
clip to cover low-voltage electrical cords.
Installing the Hinge Clip
Temperature Control
You can control the temperature inside your refrigerator by turning the
temperature control dial. Dialing toward MAX means greater cooling power;
toward MIN mean less cooling power. Set the temperature control dial to the
middle for optimum refrigeration effects under normal conditions. Set the
temperature control dials to MAX only when the rapid refrigeration/freezing of
foodstuffs in your refrigerator is necessary. Be sure to set it back to the middle
later on.
Important
Do not operate your refrigerator for more than six
hours at a stretch with the temperature control dial
set to MAX.
Before Calling for Service
We urge you to read the chart below. If the problem is not caused by defective

Is the refrigerator level? (Try to rock it.)
Are dishes vibrating?
Are there objects behind or on top that are shaking?
Does any part of the refrigerator touch the back or side wall?
When the motor comes on, you may hear popping or cracking sounds as
metals expand or contract.
Moisture
Moisture in the storage compartment is normal in humid weather.
Is the door opened frequently? Has the door been left ajar?
Does the door fit properly?
