WARNING!

Do not splash or spray water from a hose onto the refrigerator! Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.

GROUNDING METHOD

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. All UL listed refrigerated products are equipped with this type of plug.

A ground fault circuit interrupter electrical receptacle is to be used to supply electrical power to the refrigerator for outdoor applications. Contact an electrician if you need to install one to supply electrical power to your outdoor refrigerator.

POWER REQUIREMENTS:

Note:

The plug shown is for 115V units. The prongs on your model may be different than the one shown if your unit is other than 115 volts.

USING THE FRIDGE/BEER DISPENSER

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Initially set the cold control knob midway between the numbers. After at least 2 hours, adjust to the temperature that suits you. The higher the number you select, the cooler the temperature (Fig. 02).

The temperature control knob is located at the bottom, front of the cabinet, just behind the square opening near the middle of the venting grill.

DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS

Never use a scraper or any tool that might scratch or pierce the cooling plate. Follow these steps whenever 1/4 inch or more of frost accumulates;

1. Disconnect the power cord and set the cold control knob to “OFF” position.

2. Remove contents.

3. Place pans of hot water on the shelf under cooling plate if you wish to speed up defrosting.

Note:

Place a clean cloth under the hot pan of water to protect the glass shelf from breaking.

4. Wipe out the interior and replace contents.

5. Connect power cord to outlet.

6. Set temperature control to desired level.

HELP PREVENT TRAGEDIES. . .

Each year children die because they climb inside a discarded refrigeration product, get trapped inside and suffocate. Take precautions to prevent such tragedies by removing the door, taping or chaining it shut before discarding.

ALL REFRIGERATOR MODELS

All refrigerator models automatically defrost their cooling plate during each compressor off cycle. No manual defrosting is required.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

REPLACE INTERIOR LIGHT BULB

When supplied with an interior light, your refrigerator uses a 15 Watt appliance light bulb. To replace the light bulb, proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.

2. Open the cabinet door and remove the glass shelves.

3. Remove the 3 screws on the front face of the light lens using a Phillips screwdriver.

4. Remove the lens.

5. Unscrew the existing bulb and replace with an equivalent 15 Watt, threaded, intermediate base appliance bulb. Do not replace with a bulb higher than 15 Watts.

6. Reassemble.

To clean the light assembly, disconnect the power cord and let the light cool. Wipe the assembly with a mildly damp cloth. Dry the unit completely before connecting the power cord. Make sure you disconnect the refrigerator’s power cord plug from the electrical receptacle BEFORE you clean the light assembly.

NOTE:

The rocker switch located on the right side of grill controls the interior light and overrides the door plunger switch allowing the light to stay on even with the door closed. To have the interior light go out after the door is shut, make sure the rocker switch is pushed into the “OFF” position (Fig. 01).

THINGS TO REMEMBER. . .

1. Allow 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach a new temperature setting.

2. The motor will start and stop often. It must do this to maintain the temperature you select.

3. Keep your refrigerator reasonably level.

4. Unplug the refrigerator before working on anything with the electrical system.

5. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill and/or the light fixture switch can occur.

6. For all cleaning of the refrigerator interior, mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart warm water or use mild soap. Do not use strong cleaners or scouring powder or pads.

7. Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight.

8. Do not splash or spray water on or under the refrigerator.

9. Clean your refrigerator’s condenser periodically to maintain proper cooling performance.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. Reduce door openings.

2. Close the door as soon as you can.

3. Keep the coils on bottom of the refrigerator clean.

4. Adjust the temperature control to a warmer setting when practical.

5. Don’t put hot foods in the refrigerator.

6. Keep unit away from the stove or other heat sources.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HOW TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR UNIT

Condenser

The condenser coil under the cabinet for forced air units does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the condenser coil. Be sure that nothing obstructs the air flow openings in the lower front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser coil for efficient performance by unscrewing the grill on the bottom front of the cabinet.

Cabinet

The stainless steel cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Interior and Door Gasket

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with one quart of warm water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
