SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Ensure that servicing is done by factory authorized service personnel, to minimize product damage or safety issues.

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.

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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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.

• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.

• Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.

• This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).

• 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.

DOOR HANDLE INSTALLATION

The door handle is not pre-attached to the appliance, it is shipped seperately to protect it from damage and it must be installed by the end user.

If the appliance is placed on its back or side for any length of time during this process, it must be allowed to remain upright for 6 hours before plugging it in to avoid damage to the internal components.

1. Remove the door handle and hex key from the hardware bag inside the appliance.

2. Place the handle on the mounting studs on the outside of the door. Set screws are pre-installed in the handle. The set screws should face down when installed correctly. There are two extra set screws in the hardware bag.

3. Push the door handle tightly against the door.

4. Insert the short end of the hex key into the set screw and tighten 1/4 turn past snug. Set screw will not be recessed into the handle.

5. Repeat step 4 for the other set screw.

6. Keep the hex key and installation instructions for future use.

• This appliance is 19.4 inches (49.3 cm) wide by 33.3 inches (84.6 cm) high by 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep. Make sure that you leave the minimum amount of space between the appliance and all surrounding walls and vents.

• Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space between the back, sides and top of the appliance and all adjacent walls.

• This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this appliance can cause it to malfunction.

If the inner cabinet temperature is lower than 32°F (0°C) the error code “LO” will show on the display panel and an alarm will sound.

If the inner cabinet temperature remains at 32°F (0°C) for more than 30 minutes, the error code “CL” will show on the display panel and an alarm will sound. The appliance will stop functioning to prevent the contents from freezing.

Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other material as this will impede air ﬂ ow inside the cabinet and can adversely affect the interior cabinet temperature.

1. To remove a shelf, tilt one side up and then pull outward.

2. To replace a shelf, ensure it is resting securely on the support brackets and then slide the shelf in until it locks into place.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.

• To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water or a mild soap solution or some mild detergent.

• Wash removable shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth.

• Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and some mild detergent.

• It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet. Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and let dry.

Note: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any part of the appliance.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance 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, take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the appliance if operation has been interrupted.

DEFROST

This unit is equipped with an automatic defrost function and does not require manual defrosting. Defrost water from the appliance is channeled into a drip tray located above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.

VACATION

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating

during vacations of less than three weeks.

• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used

for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING

• Remove all items.

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

• Tape the door shut.

• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

• If the appliance is placed on its back or side during transportation, upon reaching the destination, allow it to remain upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to the 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.

DISPOSAL

This appliance may not be treated as regular household waste, it should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your local waste removal agency or government ofﬁ ce.
