Loading tips and suggestions
The two telescopic shelves hold five bottles each and
•
are loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should
not be loaded on the bottom shelf because they may
prevent the door from closing.
Do not block the thermistor, located on the right-hand
•
side, just above the third shelf of the outdoor/indoor
refrigerator. Blocking the thermistor could impair the air
circulation and temperature control.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
•
appliance shelves or door.. They could seriously injure
themselves and possibly cause damage to the appliance.
Wood drawer fronts
The telescopic shelf fronts on the appliance are
unfinished wood. Wooden parts are protected with a foil
which is to be removed. During use, oil from hands may
accumulate and stain the wood.
Natural wood may vary slightly in grain and color.
Condenser
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow
openings in the front of the cabinet.
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from
the condenser once a year.
To replace a shelf, open the door completely to avoid
potential damage to the gasket. Tilt the shelf to one side
at an angle and slide toward the back wall, placing one
side onto the shelf support. Place the other side onto
the opposite shelf support. Ensure rear locking tabs are
engaged. When installed properly, the shelf will not slide
forward when gently pulled.
QuickSpace™ Shelf
This shelf splits in half and slides under itself for storage
of tall items on the shelf below.
Step 1: Lift the back edge of the front half of the shelf.
Step 2: Pull slightly forward.
Step 3: Lower the back edge of the front half of the shelf
while sliding it underneath the back half.
The entire Quick Space shelf can be removed and
replaced (see Glass Shelves section).
Remove the cover from the bottom rear of the
Outdoor/Indoor refrigerator to access the condenser.
Glass shelves
Tempered glass shelves in the outdoor/ indoor
refrigerator are removable for easy cleaning or for storing
larger items.
To remove a shelf, open the door completely to avoid
potential damage to the gasket. Lift up on the back of the
shelf slightly. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle while
pulling forward.
Maintenance and cleaning
Automatic defrosting
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because
ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall
during the compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and
water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.
Cleaning the appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the
appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as
you can damage the surface.
Cabinet
Your new stainless steel unit can maintain its new luster
for the life of the product if maintained as described
below. Keep the outside clean. Regularly polish the
stainless steel exterior to preserve and protect the fine
finish. Do not apply to plastic and rubber components.
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel,
wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing
or cleaning any stainless steel surface. The grain on the
outdoor/indoor refrigerator runs top to bottom on all
sides and front to back on the top canopy.
For regular cleaning, use clean water and a soft cloth. If
stains persist, wash with mild soap using a soft cloth or
non-abrasive pad.
Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper cleaning methods.
Light bulb replacement
Unplug the appliance before replacing the light bulb.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the left side
of the shield and lower it.
Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
In the event of power failure
If power fails, you can maintain interior temperature
longer by keeping the door closed. Open the door only
when necessary to avoid the loss of cold air.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any
debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain
properly.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom
two glass shelves. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel
in the back of the outdoor/indoor refrigerator. Use a
finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.
Interior
Wash the inside with mild soap and water or baking soda
and water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish
cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Door gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and
water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of
paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the
hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and
bending out of shape.
Trouble-shooting guide
Sometimes you may come across a minor problem
during the operation of the appliance.

(thermostat knob in operating position).
• The door is frequently opened or left open for long periods of time.
• The door is not properly closed possibly an alien particle between the doors, sagging
door, door gasket damaged, etc.).
• Excessive quantity of warm food inserted at once.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (check
the air circulation behind the appliance and clean the condenser).
• Water usually leaks from the appliance if the drain outlet is blocked, or if the defrost
water drips past the collecting groove.
• Clean the blocked outlet with a plastic straw.
Useful tips
Temperature within the appliance is not cool enough:
Is the temperature setting adequate (see Operation
•
and Control)?
Does the thermometer indicate correctly?
•
Is the ventilation system operating properly?
•
Noise related problems
Cooling of the refrigerating and freezing appliances is
provided by the cooling system, which incorporates a
compressor and a fan – these devices produce certain
noise. The level of noise emitted largely depends on the
location and proper use of the appliance.
During the operation of the compressor, certain noise
•
of liquid flow may be detected, and during idle periods
the circulation of refrigeration liquid is heard. This is a
normal condition and has no impact on the life cycle of
the appliance.
Immediately after starting the appliance, the operation
•
of the compressor and the flow of refrigerant may be
louder than usual. This is not a sign of any malfunction,
and has no impact on the life cycle of the appliance.
Gradually the noise will be reduced.
Sometimes unusual and stronger noises may be detected,
which are rather unusual for the appliance. Such noises
are often the result of the inappropriate installation:
The appliance must be perfectly horizontal and installed
•
on a solid floor.
It should not touch the walls or adjacent cupboards.
