WARNING

WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.

• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

CARE AND USE/INSTALLATION

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 specications, 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.

Front Grille, keep this area open.

Front Leveling Legs

Figure 2

Rear

Leveling

Legs

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 ↶).

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. Lynx Grills does not recommend the

use of a custom made grille as air ow may be restricted.

(See Figure 2).

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 5).

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. Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this application as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for this application, (see Figure 8).

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Background

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.

Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that

provides an invisible protective lm on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide lm on the

surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

Care and Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).

It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.

Typically the most effective and efcient means for routine

cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Although some products are called "stainless steel cleaners," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the

surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide lm),

and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the

nish.

NOTE

Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.

Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Energy Saving Tips The following suggestions will minimize the

cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance

(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.

2. Install product out of direct sunlight.

3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-

neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.

4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not

shared with other appliances).

5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever

large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.

6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will

require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.

7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents

stored in your appliance.

8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-

ing in product.

9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature

that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.

11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-

riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem perature for the stored contents.

12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the

appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
