IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be practiced.
Heeding the following instructions will reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury.
WARNING
!
1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
2.Do not connect the appliance to the electric power source until all packing material has
been removed.
3.Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before turning it on to allow compressor gas to
settle if unit has been transported in a horizontal position.
4.Do not allow this appliance to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
5.This appliance should not be used by children or infirm persons without supervision.
6.Use only as described in this manual and for its intended purpose, that is, the cooling
and storing of foodstuffs and beverages.
7.All repairs, disassembly and modifications should be performed only by qualified
technicians. Attempting to perform these yourself could result in a fire, malfunction
and injury.
8.Never splash water directly onto the product or wash with water without unplugging as
a short circuit could result. In a rainy environment, a water-proof covering is
recommended.
9.Never put flammable or volatile substances into unit as explosion and fire could result.
10.Do not damage, modify, excessively bend, strain, twist or bundle the power cord. Also,
placing heavy objects on the power cord or binding it could damage the cord, possibly
resulting in electrical shock or fire.
11.Use a dedicated wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or multiple-outlet adaptor as
this could result in electrical shock, overheating and fire.
12.Never use flammable spray cans or leave flammable substances near the unit. Sparks
from electrical switches could result in explosion or fire. If a combustible gas is present
near the appliance, turn off the source of the gas, then open the windows and doors to
allow the gas to dissipate. Do not pull the plug or switch off the unit to avoid an
explosion.
13.The electrical socket must have good grounding. The ground wire cannot be
connected with a gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It
1
cannot be replaced with the neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the
ground wire, an electrical leakage circuit breaker is also required.
14.If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock
could result.
15.
3.Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit. Objects could
fall and cause injury and spilled water could cause the deterioration of the insulation of
electrical components and result in electrical shock.
4.Disconnect the unit if it is behaving abnormally, and do not reconnect until the situation
is corrected.
5.Pull out the plug before doing any maintenance on the unit to avoid electric shock.
6.This unit is not intended for the storage of medicines or chemical reagents.
7.Keep packing materials away from children.
8.During long absences, remove the cart’s contents, unplug the unit, clean it and leave it
open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors. Use a cover
to protect the unit and prolong its life span.
9.Keep these instructions in a safe place for easy reference.

1.On the bottom of the unit, screw the two locking casters into place below the Front, and
the two non-locking casters below the Rear of the unit. NOTE: Do not invert the unit or
lay it on its side. Just tilt it to attach the wheels. If unit is inverted or laid on its side, you
must let it stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in.
2.Put the two sliding windows into place on top.
3.To install the top doors, first find the four metallic pins stored inside the unit. Insert one
pin into each of the door brackets on the upper edge of the unit, two on each side.
4
Place Door 1 on top of the unit in closed position, aligning the brackets on the door
edge with the brackets on the upper edge of the unit. Push or tap each pin so that it
slides into the bracket on the door. Once the pins are fully inserted, they cannot be
removed easily. Repeat with Door 2.
4.Screw the four handle-holders into place on both sides of unit, using supplied screws.
5.Fit the two handles over handle-holders and tighten them with the supplied screws.
Installation
If possible, avoid placing the cart directly beside heat sources such as barbecue grills or in
direct sunlight since this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If located near a
source of heat, maintain the following minimum clearances:
From barbecue grills or heaters: 12“
From freezers or refrigerators: 4”
Sufficient room must be allowed around the appliance to ensure free circulation of air.
Locate the cart on a dry, solid, level surface. Once it is in position, the two casters at the
front should be locked.
Be sure the exhaust grill remains unblocked while the appliance is in use.
Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into a dedicated 3-slot, 120VAC outlet that will accept the plug. The
Power ON light will go on.
Important! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly grounded and installed. The ground wire cannot be connected to a gas pipe,
heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It cannot be replaced with the
neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the ground wire, an electrical leakage
circuit breaker is also required. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not completely
understand these grounding instructions.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock could result.
Do Not Use an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions.
