INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Refrigerator

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4

hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 7)

Installing Your Refrigerator

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully

loaded.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper

air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator level.

• Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,

etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will hinder the performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.

• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.

• Plug the refrigerator into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.

• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for

2~3 hours under before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.

Electrical Connection

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

If any problems with the appliance persist, please contact our Customer Service Dept. to consult with a representative at 888 775-0202 or visit our website to request warranty service at

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Temperature Control

• Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the

temperature. The temperature control is located on the top center of the refrigerator compartment.

• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature

control knob to “7” and run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.

• The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from

position "1" the warmest to "7" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

• Turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off

the power to the unit.

• NOTE;

• If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the

unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.

• Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.

• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one

increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Ice Tray

• Recommended temperature control setting for ice making is “7”.

• Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on

• To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist

How To Defrost

Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice / frost are approximately ¼” thick or every 3 months, whichever comes first. Set the thermostat dial to “0” to defrost. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment. Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice / frost to melt. Remove large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice / water and wipe the freezer compartment dry with a soft cloth. In the event that the ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, please allow the evaporator located behind the freezer wall to completely defrost for approximately 2 hours before restarting the unit. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
