GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance has a cord that has a grounding
wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.

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

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before throwing
away an old appliance:

• Remove the door or lid.

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

This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offi ces and other
working environments;

• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments;

• Bed and breakfast type environments;

• Catering and similar non-retail applications.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Do not connect your appliance to extension
cords or together with another appliance in the
same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord. Do not
use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs)
adapters.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

• Two people should be used when moving the
appliance.

• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to
installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a
lukewarm wet cloth.

• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.

• Before connecting the appliance to a power
source, let it stand upright for approximately
6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.

• This appliance is 23.8 inches (60.5 cm) wide
by 34.7 inches (88 cm) high (when installed
with leveling legs) by 25.9 inches (65.7 cm)
deep. Make sure that you leave the minimum
amount of space between the appliance and all
surrounding walls and vents.

FRONT VENT

This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the
front air vent as this will result in high operating
temperatures, higher energy usage and possible
system overheating and failure.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

There is one adjustable foot on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.

• Casters are included with this appliance. If the
casters are install, the height increases to 36.4
inches (92.5 cm).

• WARNING: To avoid hazard due to instability
of the appliance, it must be fi xed in accordance
with the instructions.

• Keep fl ammable material and vapors such as
gasoline away from the appliance. Only use
nonfl ammable cleaner.

• This appliance is intended to be used in
household or camping and similar situations
such as:

• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offi ces and other
working environments;

• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels
and other residential type environments;

• Bed and breakfast type environments;

• Catering and similar non-retail applications;

• This appliance should not be exposed to rain.

• Do not overload the appliance.

1. Turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise as far as
it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the
bottom of the cabinet.

2. Slowly turn the leveling foot clockwise until the
appliance is level.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE LIMITS FOR
OUTDOOR USE

Do not install this appliance in a location where
temperature will fall below 41°F (5°C) or rise above
109°F (43°C).

Operating the appliance in an ambient temperature
which is too cold can cause the compressor to turn
off for too long, causing the internal temperature
in the appliance to rise, possibly resulting in loss of
contents.

For best performance, do not install the appliance
behind a cabinet door or block the front vent.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HANDLE INSTALLATION

To avoid damage during transportation, the handle
is shipped in packing foam on the front of the
appliance and must be installed by the end user.

The handle can be installed on either the left or right
side of the door depending on whether the door is
needed to open from the left or right side.

CASTER INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property
damage, unplug the appliance and use two people
to complete the caster installation.

1. Place the appliance on its back. Protect the fl oor
and the back of the appliance from damage by
laying the appliance on a towel or blanket.

2. Remove the three solid feet. Unscrew the leveling
foot. Keep the solid feet and the leveling foot in
a safe place for future use.

3. Install the non-locking casters on the back of the
appliance.

4. Install the locking casters on the front of the
appliance.

Note: Once caster installation is complete, the
appliance must be allowed to stand upright for
6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to
internal components.

Note: See door reversal instructions if the default
door installation opening from the left side is
inconvenient.

To install the door handle:

1. Remove the screw hole covers found on the side
of the door. Save these hole covers for future
use.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver and the provided
screws to install the handle on the side of the
door.

PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE

Gloves and safety goggles should be worn during
installation.

It is not recommended to install the appliance into a
corner or directly beside a wall. The door will need
to be opened more than 90° to allow full extension
of the shelves. If it is necessary to place the unit next
to a wall or in a corner, leave at least 2-4 inches (5­10 cm) of space between the wall and the appliance
to allow for the door opening.

The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61
cm) wide by 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep.

If the appliance will be built in with the leveling foot,
the height of the opening must be at least 35 inches
(88.9 cm).

If the appliance will be built in with the casters
installed, the height of the opening must be at least
37 inches (94 cm).

Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming
that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent
cabinetry or fl ush mounted in the rear wall, not
surface mounted inside the enclosure.

REQUIRED TOOLS

• Safety goggles

• Gloves

• Tape measure

• Carpenter square

• Level

• Flashlight

• Electric drill with hole bit

COMPRESSOR HOUSING COVER REMOVAL

If the appliance will be built into an enclosure, the
compressor housing cover must fi rst be removed.
This is to allow air fl ow around the compressor
so that it does not over heat. Keep the cover and
screws in a safe place so that they can be used
again in future if necessary.

If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent
cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to
admit the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal,
the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or
grommet.

• Secure the shelves with tape.

• Secure the door with tape.

• Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid
damage.

• Protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.

• Be sure the appliance stays in the upright
position during transportation.

during transportation, upon reaching the
destination, allow it to remain upright for 6
hours before plugging in to avoid damage to
internal components.

ERROR CODES

If the “HI”, “LO” or “CL” error codes appear on
the display for more than 5 minutes, a power reset
may rectify the issue. Unplug the appliance, wait 5
minutes and then plug the unit back in. If the error
code persists after a power reset, contact consumer
care or an authorized service agent.
