INSTALLATION

1. Steady, flat location:

If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the level leg clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator or turn counter-clockwise to lower that side. Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator will take some weight off the leveling leg. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling leg.

2. Ventilation:

Place refrigerator approximately 5 inches from the wall to ensure proper airflow to the compressor. Do not place refrigerator near any heat resources such as a heater or stove as it will put a strain on the compressor

3. Power supply:

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

Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. The power cord of this appliance 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 appliance.

(a) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

(b) If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTES:

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

OPERATIONS

NOTES: Temperature range of the chiller compartment is 30°F to 48°F at room temperature of 77°F (25°C). Ice cream and Popsicles must be kept cool at -5°F to 0°F, hence this chiller compartment is not suitable to store these types of items.

USING THE THERMOSTAT

The thermostat control knob for the refrigerator and chiller is located beside the chiller compartment.

The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the thermostat control knob to “4” and give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food; a full 24 hours is recommended.

After it is fully cooled, test it and adjust towards “1” to make it less cool or towards “7” to cool more to best suit your needs. However, the setting of “4” should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

NOTE: Turning the thermostat control knob to the “ 0 ” position will stop the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.

DEFROSTING

Defrosting process is manual:

Turn the thermostat knob to the “ 0 ”position and leave the refrigerator door open.
Remove all food from the chiller and refrigerator compartment.
Clean and wipe out the melted frost with a cloth.
After defrosting, turn thermostat knob to original position

NOTE: If the chiller has accumulated excessive frost/ice, please do the following:

Remove all food from the chiller and refrigerator compartment.
Turn the thermostat knob to the “ 0 ”position and unplug from the outlet.
Place towel under compact refrigerator or move refrigerator outdoors where no water damage can occur.
Follow steps 3 & 4 from above section.

REVERSING THE DOOR POSITION

CAUTION:

To avoid to injury yourself and/or property, we recommend someone assist you during the door reversal process

Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.
We reœmmend you have someone to assist you

NOTE: To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the position Appliance backward. You should rest the Appliance on something solid, e.g., a chair just below the top panel.

DO NOT lay the Appliance completely flat as this may damage the coolant system.
