INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from
55 to 115°F (13 to 46°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
!
CAUTION
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to ow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air ow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason
it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean (See Figure 1). The use of a custom
made grille is not recommended as it may restrict air ow.
Front Grille,
keep this area
open.

Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-
ance should be set so the unit is rmly positioned on the
oor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between
the minimum, 333⁄4" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in
(CW ↷) and the maximum, 343⁄4" (88.3 cm) by turning the
leveling leg out (CCW ↶).
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the oor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the oor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning
the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the
appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete
tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 2).

Step by step instructions for locating the
position of the bracket:
1) Decide where you want to place the refrigerator. Slide
it into place, being careful not to damage the oor, leaving
1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for
the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately 1⁄4" (6 mm) to
allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit
by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the
leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the refrigerator is in the desired location, then
mark on the oor the rear and side corner of the cabinet
where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation
does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then
make temporary lines on the oor marking the front corner
of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the refrigerator out
of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line
back 211⁄2" (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 7.
!
CAUTION
Any nished ooring should be protected with appropriate
material to avoid damage when moving the unit.
Floor Mount Installation
The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the oor in the left or
right rear corner of the refrigerator as shown in Figure 6.
4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the oor so
the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet
mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up
with the end of the 211⁄2" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the oor using the supplied
screw. (See Figure 7).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear
cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabinet and
the power cord routed through this hole to a power outlet.
Another way to increase the available opening depth is to
recess the power outlet into the rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
* Depth dimension of rough-in opening may vary depending on each individual installation. To recess entire door "F"
dimension plus 1" (2.5 cm) for thickness of power cord plug
is required.
** Minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than
the adjusted height of the cabinet.
*** A grounded 15 amp dedicated circuit is required. Follow
all local building codes when installing electrical and appliance.

Starting your refrigerator
Plug the refrigerator power cord into a wall outlet. Your
refrigerator will begin cooling after power is applied.
If your refrigerator does not start, check that the refrigerator
is turned on and the set temperature is cold enough.
Turning your refrigerator ON or OFF
If the refrigerator is on, the refrigerator temperature will be
shown on the display. To turn the refrigerator off, press and
hold the "ON/OFF" button for three seconds. "OFF" will appear on the display.
If the refrigerator is not on, "OFF" will be shown on the
display. To turn the refrigerator on, press and hold the "ON/
OFF" button for three seconds. The refrigerator temperature will be shown on the display.
Set temperature
To set the refrigerator temperature, press and hold the
"SET" button. When the "SET" button is pressed, the
display will show the set temperature. While holding the
"SET" button, press the "WARMER" or "COLDER" buttons
to adjust set temperature.
Refrigerator operation
The available temperature range of the refrigerator is 34° to
42°F (1° to 6°C).
It may take up to 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach
desired temperature. This will depend on amount of content
loaded and number of door opening and closings.
Alarms
Your digital display function will monitor refrigerator function
and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.
• Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left
open for over ve minutes, the alarm will
sound in one second intervals. The display
panel will ash "do" and the Alarm LED located at the top
left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.
• Temperature Sensor Fault: If the controller detects that the temperature sensor is not
properly functioning, a temperature sensor
alarm will sound in one second intervals. "E1" will ash on
the display panel and the Alarm LED located at the top left
of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated.
• High and Low Temperature Alarm: If your
unit reaches an unacceptable temperature
outside of your set-point, the alarm will sound
in (1) second intervals. The display panel will
ash either "Hi" or "Lo" depending upon the
condition and the Alarm LED light at the top
left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. These alarms indicate that the compartment temperature has moved 10° or more from the set point for more
than 1 hour duration. The alarm will remain active until the
condition is corrected.
NOTE
During initial appliance start-up, the high temperature alarm
may sound until the interior temperature reaches set point.
The high temperature alarm can also occur if the door remains open during an extended period of time (i.e. cleaning
or door ajar alarm condition), high usage or loading with
warm product. After a high temperature alarm condition check
all perishables to ensure they are safe for consumption.
Alarm Mute
Press any key to mute the audible portion of an alarm.
For best results allow refrigerator to "pull down" to desired
set temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded,
allow at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before
making any adjustments to the set temperature.
NOTE
This action will only mute the alarm. If the condition that
caused the alarm continues, the alarm code will continue to
ash and will sound for 20 seconds every 60 minutes.
