Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak perform­ance of your drawer refrigerator. Choose a loca­tion away from heat and out of direct sunlight.
Best performance will be maintained when
installed within the following parameters:

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required for the bottom front section of
the unit where the grille is located. Keep this area
open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabi­nets and countertop can be installed on top, back
and sides of the unit as long as grille and drawer
access remain unobstructed. An opening of 30” is
required between cabinets with a depth of 24”.

Adjacent cabinets and countertop can be installed
on top, back and sides of the unit as long as the
grille and drawer access remain unobstructed.
Ventilation is required for the bottom front section
of the unit where the grille is located. Keep this
area open and clear of any obstructions.

Make certain that the leveling legs supplied with
the drawer refrigerator are installed according to
the instructions. Leveling adjustments can be
made by raising or lowering the glides on the bot­tom of the unit.

Important Safety Issue

A cabinet “anti-tip” device is mounted to the back
of your drawer refrigerator. If your installation is a
built-in undercounter application, you do not need
to apply this feature.If your installation is a free­standing application with no counter top directly
above the top of the drawer refrigerator, you must
apply this feature to prevent the unit from tipping
forward when the drawers are pulled out. The
“anti-tip” device is attached at the back of each
cabinet. Please see installation instructions sup­plied with the “anti-tip” device.

Electrical Connection

Check the serial nameplate for the correct power
supply. Use only the electrical power supply spec­ified on the serial nameplate. Do not use an exten­sion cord.

Grounding Method

This drawer refrigerator is equipped with a power
supply cord with ground. It must be plugged into a
mating grounding type receptacle in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances. It is the customer’s
responsibility to provide the proper grounding type
receptacle. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Control Panel

The temperature of your drawer unit ranges from
32°F to 47°F (0°C to 8°C). The temperature can
be adjusted using the control panel located on the
inside of the top drawer. To change the tempera­ture setting, press the warmer or cooler pads until
the display shows the desired temperature. After a
few seconds the display will return to the actual
temperature of the unit. An empty unit will stabilize
in six to eight hours.

Your drawer refrigerator’s control leaves the facto­ry preset to display its temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit. To change the display to show Celsius
temperatures, simply press the warmer and cold­er key pads simultaneously. The display will
change within a few seconds.

The on/off key pad stops and starts the cooling of
the unit. This can be used when your drawer
refrigerator will not be used for extended periods
of time. The LED light will continue to operate
when the drawers are opened as long as the unit
is connected to a power source.

At time of initial start up the control panel display
will show “OR” or “Out of Range” until the unit
reaches the desired temperature. At any time the
unit’s interior temperature reaches 9 degrees
below or above its setpoint this code will also be
displayed.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR DRAWER REFRIGERATOR

Condenser

The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not
require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory
cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the
coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required
air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least
once or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt
from the grille. Also at least once or twice a year
brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the condenser
for efficient performance by unscrewing the grille
on the bottom front of the cabinet.

Interior

Clean the drawer gaskets as well as inside the
drawers with mild soap and water. Do not use an
abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undi­luted detergent.

Cabinet

The painted cabinet can be washed with mild
soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear
water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Interior

Wash interior compartments with mild soap and
water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent,
polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.

Door Gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scour­ing powder.

Care of Unit

1. Avoid leaning on the drawer fronts, you may
bend the door hinge or tip the unit.

2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming,
or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage
to the grille can occur.

3. Periodic cleaning of the inside of the unit. (See
Care and Cleaning of Your Drawer Refrigera­tor section).

4. Periodic checking and/or cleaning of the front
grille and condenser coils as needed.

Step 2:

Remove Drawer Fronts

(Note: The overlay panel may be installed without
removing the drawer fronts from the drawer bod­ies, but the full drawer assembly is not as easy to
handle as the drawer front alone.)

1. Remove drawer from unit. Begin by pulling out
the drawer. Locate the drawer lock which can be
found on the outside of the cabinet slide (fig. 1).
Push the back of the drawer lock forward and
then down, releasing the drawer from the cabinet
slide (fig. 2). Repeat this on the opposite side of
the drawer. Lift the drawer up from the slides at
90° to fully extricate the drawer from the cabinet
(fig. 3).

2. Remove drawer fronts. Do this by removing
the 8 phillips screws and washers securing the
drawer front to the drawer body. Mark lightly with
an erasable marker the position of the stainless
drawer liner as it secured to the stainless drawer
before removing screws.

3. Remove the gasket from the drawer front. Do
this by pulling the gasket out of the channel that
holds it to the drawer front .This will expose the
clearance holes for mounting the overlay panel.

Step 1:
Wood Screws Required

1. A #8 pan head wood screw should be used to
properly secure the overlay panel. A total of 10
screws will be needed.

2. Use only pan head screws.

3. Do not select a screw that is longer than the
wood thickness at the screw locations.

4. Use recommended pilot holes for the frame
material (see chart below).

Step 3:
Sizing the Overlay Panel

Step 4:
Attaching the Overlay Panel to the Door

1. Set overlay panel on drawer front face and
align edges. Clamp panel in position and mark
pilot hole locations. See step 3 for nominal size
and hole locations. Drill pilot holes (remove panel
if necessary, re-align and re-clamp overlay to
drawer face).

2. Insert wood screws through clearance holes
and tighten to secure overlay panel.

3. Reinstall gasket into channel. Make sure the
corners are inserted fully.

Step 5:
Reattach Drawer Front to Drawer Body

1. Align mounting holes on drawer body with
mounting holes on drawer front. Align the door
liner to the front flanges by using the erasable
marker alignment lines that were applied prior to
removing the door from the drawer. Reinstall
phillips head screws and washers. Snug down,
but do not tighten fully, final adjustment of drawer
front will be done after reinstalling the drawer.

Step 6:
Reinstall the Drawer

1. Fully extend drawer slides and place drawer on
slides. Be sure that drawer sits evenly on both
slides.

2. Lock drawers into drawer slides. Push drawer
locks down and then back to relock the drawer
into the slide.

Step 7:
Adjust Drawer Front

1. Adjust drawer front to achieve a 1/8" gap from
the top of the drawer front to the top of the cabi­net or (for bottom drawers) 1/8" from the top of
the drawer front to the bottom of the top drawer,
the drawer front should be centered between the
cabinet edges.

2. Fully tighten phillips head screws.

How to Obtain Service

Your drawer refrigerator requires little service
because the best and most up-to-date materials,

was purchased or the manufacturer for the
name of the nearest authorized service rep­resentative. The service representative will
have full authority to make any repairs
deemed necessary.

required, will be provided as covered by your
limited warranty.
