Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL RATING: The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.

Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a separate fuse circuit from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fluctuation which might cause motor trouble.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket or lid from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:

•Take off doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.

DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!

Risk of fire or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in defrost. Please handle with care. Keep flammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from the refrigerator. Use nonflammable cleaner.

Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet or ungrounded two prong adaptors. Do not splice the cord.

Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight may adversely affect the performance of this unit. Please check the interior temperature and contents of this unit if extreme heat or sunlight are present for extended periods.

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

•WARNING Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

•WARNING Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

•WARNING Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

•Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

•Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperatures etc.).

•Before loading the appliance with packages of hot food, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.

•Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5 mm thick.

•If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

•Always consider instructions stated in this manual.

•This unit is suitable for outdoor use and is weather resistant. However, it is NOT waterproof. Do not use this unit near a swimming pool or hot tub.

DISPOSING OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

The refrigerator system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing centre. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage any tubes that may be on the rear wall of the appliance.

Installation Instructions

Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm, wet cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches (12.7 cm) away from the wall.

LOCATION

1.Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2.Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.

3.Avoid moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your refrigerator will have to be defrosted more frequently.

INSTALLATION

Place the appliance firmly on a solid base. Some appliances have adjustable feet on the front side; use them to level the appliance (some models only).

NOTE: This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be built-in. Extreme cold will affect the performance and reliability of this unit. Do not use this in environments that are 7°C (45°F) or less.

FEATURES

1.Adjustable Shelves: Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. Perishable foods should be stored towards the back/rear of the shelves.

2.Door Liner: The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing large bottles.

3.Defrost Water Outlet: The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with a cooling plate mounted in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet for defrost water. Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the drain channel for blockage. They should always be kept free and clear of food particles. If the drain outlet does become clogged, use a plastic straw or pipe-cleaner to clear it.

4.Lock (not pictured): To prevent a child from being entrapped, keep key(s) out of reach of children and not in the

vicinity of the appliance.	2

Installation Instructions

CASTER INSTALLATION

NOTE:

•Unplug the power cord.

•To reduce the risk of injury, this is a two-person job.

•After caster installation, the unit must stand upright for 6 hours before being plugged in. This will allow the internal fluids to settle back into place. Failure to do this may result in system malfunction.

1.Lay the unit down on a towel or cloth, this is to protect the back of the unit.

2.Unscrew the levelling leg / feet to remove them. A hand tool may be needed to unscrew the levelling leg / feet. See figure one.

3.Match the screw holes on the bottom of the unit with the pre-drilled holes on the casters. Use a screwdriver to screw the casters in place. Note: The two casters with brakes should be installed at the front of the unit for easy access. See figure 2.

4.Once the casters are secured in place, carefully put the unit upright.

5.After six hours of the unit sitting upright, plug the unit in.

Operating Instructions

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob (on the ceiling of the cabinet) to a desired setting.

To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to the desired cooling setting (on the graduated blue dial, Fig. A).

The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control knob to the “0” position. If the refrigerator is not going to be used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open. This will help to prevent mold/mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.

Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures, adjust the thermostat knob accordingly. In the OFF (0) position, the appliance does not operate (cooling system is switched off,) yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you open the refrigerator door.) Temperature in the refrigerator is dependent on how often the door is opened.

DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposits on the inner back wall are defrosted automatically.

Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation will defrost automatically (when the compressor has cycled off). Defrost water collects inside the drain passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor from where it evaporates.

FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS

Fresh Food Compartment

•Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent air circulation.

•Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped individually and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.

•Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.

•Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.

DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

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

If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it by following the steps shown in the diagrams.

Front

BULB REPLACEMENT

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the screw located on the light cover. Pull the light cover straight down. The replacement light bulb must be the same wattage as the original bulb (15 watts only). Replace the cover in the opposite order of removal.

Care and Maintenance

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

•Turn the temperature control to the “OFF” or “0” position, unplug the unit and remove the food and interior accessories.

•Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

•Wash the baskets and interior accessories with a mild detergent solution.

•The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

Caution: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator and/or freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

VACATION TIME

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three days. Although the unit can remain plugged in for short vacations, we recommend you take measures to protect the refrigerator from extreme weather conditions (i.e. moving the unit inside).

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

IF YOU MOVE

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs (some models), turn them all the way into the base.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF

THE REFRIGERATOR

•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

•Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.

•Don’t overload the refrigerator.

•Don’t open the door unless necessary.

•Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors.
