SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the electrical shock or injury when using the refrigerator, follow basic

precautions including the following:

Remove all packaging before using this unit.

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong GFI outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an
adaptor, and do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended the refrigerator be plugged into it's own circuit. Use receptacles that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power cord
of the unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so
can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 40°F (5°C) and
below 105°F (40°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements.

• The refrigerator should not be located directly next to other sources of high heat.

• The refrigerator must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state
and local codes. A standard electrical supply (cfi, 115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances
is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of refrigerator.

• The circuit breaker size should be 15 amperes.

• It is important for the refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. You may need
to make several adjustments to level it.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners
may damage or discolor the interior.

• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.

Use only Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protected circuit with this appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Unit

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Setting the Temperature Control

• Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The
temperature control is located on the upper side of the compartment.

• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "7."

• The range of the temperature control is from position "0" to "7." "1" is warmer and "7" is
cooler. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits
your needs. The setting of "4" should be appropriate for normal use.

• To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to "0."

Electrical Connection

• Turning the temperature control to "0" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off
the power of the unit.

• If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

Food Storage

• Wrap food in plastic wrap before storing. Place food evenly on wire rack.

• Let hot food cool down before putting into this refrigerator for saving energy.

• Don't open door frequently.

• Keep space between foods inside refrigerator.

• Keep food dry before storage.

Installing Your Unit

• Remove food from refrigerator when power is out.

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

• Locate the unit 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. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.

• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded GFI 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.

• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours
before placing food into the refrigerator compartment.
