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
4
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.

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 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 co rd. 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
elect
rician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively affect the performance of the unit.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Control
Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the
temperature. The temperature control is located on the
upper right hand corner of the interior compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “4” 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" ( cold) to "6" (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 “OFF” 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 “6”.
Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on the
bottom of the chiller compartment to freeze properly.
To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist
slightly.
Re-set the temperature control to setting “4”.
The Chiller Compartment
This compartment is designed for the ice making and short-term storage of some commercially
frozen foods.
The temperature of the chiller compartment may not reach temperature low enough to store
frozen foods safely and works well when the food is already frozen prior to storage.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
