Refrigerants
All refrigeration products co ntain refrigerants, which under federal law must be
removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with a qualified disposal company for instructions.
IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is eq ui pped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug m ust be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING- Improper use of grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock.
1. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
2. If it is necessary t o use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade groundi n g plu g, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accep t the plug on the appliance.
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be
equal to or greater than the rati ng of the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Befo r e using the refrigerator for the first time, remove all of the packing
materials, including the foam ba se and adhesive tape holding accessories in
place.
2. T he refrigerat or should be located on a firm, fla t surface that is strong enough
to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
3. C hoose a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
heat sources such as a stove or radiator, or in a moist area. Do not choose a
location where the temperature w il l go below 55°F as this could cause the
refrigerator to not function pr operly.
4. Lea ve a mi nimum of ½” bet ween eac h side of t he ap pliance a nd t he wall. The
top and back of the appliance should have a minimum of 1½” clearance. This
allows for proper air circulation. This appliance is intended to be free-standing
and should not be built-in or placed in a recessed area.
5. T he refrigerator l eg s must b e adjusted during installation in order to function
properly. The leveling legs on the front corners can be adjusted by turning
clockwise to raise the applianc e, and counter-clockwise to lower it. Be sure to
have the appliance slope slightly backward to ensure that the door closes
tightly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Allow refrigerator to stand upright for 4 hours before using.
2. Plug into a grounded outlet or appropriate extension cord (see Important
Grounding Instructions).
3. The temperature of the refrigerator can be contr olled manually
with the control dial. However, t he number shown on the knob
does not directly represent the temperatur e. Instead, the larger
the number is, the cooler the interior temperature will be.
Change to “0” stops the cooling but does not turn the power off.
Turn the knob to setting 4 for normal use; turn it to setting 5-7 if
a cooler temperature is required or to setting 1-3 when a warmer
temperature is needed.
4. There should always be some space between food items inside for air
circulation.

increase in interior temperature and power consumption. Placing food inside
too soon will impact the performance.
7. Reducing the frequency of door opening can lower power consumption.
