SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this
manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts
you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others.
All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and

either the word DANGER or WARNING.

DANGER means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in severe
personal injury or death.

WARNING means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in
extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

All safety messages will alert you about the potential hazard, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so please read the manual carefully. To reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:

DANGER

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not
use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be
used. Do not use outlets that can be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean appliance 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.

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

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

5

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual. For any further issues, please
contact customer service at [e-mail].

WARNING

FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR
MODEL

• Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so
can result in injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must
be completely unobstructed.

• Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F (~10°C) and
below 110°F (~43°C).

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of
high heat.

• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water, and drain
connections (if applicable) in accordance with state and local codes. A
standard electrical supply (110 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 cord of the appliance.

• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You

may need to make several adjustments to the feet or wheels to level it.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code
requirements (if applicable).

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during
installation.

• Check for leaks of any kind after turning on the appliance for the first time.

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

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

cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
instruction manual.

• Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas. Clearances between the door
and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing the door when children
are nearby.

6

Attention: Child Entrapment Risk!

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit for a few
days."

Before discarding your old refrigerator, take off the doors, and leave the
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before plugging in the fridge, let it stand upright for approximately
24 hours.

Doing 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.

Install the handle on the door, if it is not already attached (See detailed
instructions below)

INSTALLING THE FRIDGE

This fridge is designed to be either built-in or freestanding.

Note: This appliance may be used for the storage of medicine and other
medical products.

Place your fridge on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs, or the screws on the
wheels.

Make sure that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or
blocked in any way.

Note: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven,
radiator or other heating source. Any nearby heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Do not install in a location where the temperature will
fall below 50°F (~10°C) or above 110°F (~43°C). For best performance, do not
install the fridge behind a cabinet door or block the vent in the front.

Avoid installing the fridge anywhere with excessive moisture.

Plug the fridge into a properly grounded wall outlet. Do not plug the fridge into
a power strip or extension cord.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, contact customer service immediately at
[e-mail].

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

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be
directed toward a certified electrician or customer service at
[e-mail].

This appliance requires a standard 110 Volt AC 60Hz three-prong grounded
electrical outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet and circuit been checked by a
qualified electrician and confirmed to be properly grounded.

If only a 2-prong wall outlet is available, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance
and not left exposed or dangling.

This fridge should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
will allow the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring
circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the
fridge by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug head firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle. Immediately repair or replace all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. If you have any of
these issues, contact customer service immediately at [e-mail].

When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

9

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 110
volts.

INSTALLING THE STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE

To install the handle, follow the instructions below:

1. Remove the rubber gasket from the right side of the inside of the door

(you don’t need to remove the whole gasket, just the side that covers the
openings for the screws).

2. Remove the screws from the included bag. Feed the screws through the

holes from the inside until they poke through to the outside front of the
door frame.

3. Align the handle with the two screws, then tighten the screws into the

handle using a screwdriver until the handle is both flush and secured
tightly against the door frame. DO NOT over-tighten the screws, as you
may cause damage to the door frame.

10

CASTER INSTALLATION

1. Remove everything from the cabinet and lay the unit on its side on a clean,

dry, and padded surface.

2. Install casters into the holes on the bottom of the unit (as shown in the

picture below) and tighten screws with a screwdriver.

3. The two casters equipped with locks should be installed on the front of the

unit.

4. Once all four casters are attached, stand the fridge upright on the wheels,

making sure the fridge is still level.

5. Allow the unit to sit for 8-10 hours before plugging it in again. This allows

the refrigerant to settle again, preventing potential malfunctions.

11

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient
temperature is above 50°F (~10°C) and below 110°F (~43°C). If the ambient
temperature is above or below the recommended range, the performance of
the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or
hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate, preventing the
fridge from reaching the target temperature.

CONTROL PANEL

1. Power: Press and hold to enable or disable power to the unit, even while

the unit is still plugged in.

2. Control Lock: Press and hold the power and light buttons simultaneously

to lock or unlock the control panel. When the panel is locked, no buttons
will work other than the unlock function.

3. Lights: Press to turn the interior light on or off.

4. Display: Shows the currently set target temperature.

5. Temperature Increase: Press once to increase temperature by 1°F.

6. Temperature Decrease: Press once to decrease temperature by 1°F.

7. Celsius/Fahrenheit Switch: Press and hold both temperature buttons to

switch the display temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

DOOR LOCK

Your unit comes with a lock and key. Insert the key into the lock and turn it
counter-clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, turn the key clockwise,
making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Be sure to keep your keys in
a safe place where they won’t be easily lost.

“DOOR OPEN” ALARM

Your unit will start beeping if the door is left open for more than 60 seconds.
Close the door to disable the alarm.

12

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE

• Turn off the power, unplug the fridge, and remove all items, including
shelves.

• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda
(about 2 tablespoons of baking soda per 4 cups of water).

• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area

where the controls are located, or any place on or near electrical parts.

• Wash the outside of the fridge with warm water and a mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door frame and handle.
Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel.

CAUTION:

Failure to unplug the fridge during cleaning could result in electrical shock or
other personal injury.

POWER FAILURE

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and they should not
affect the temperature of your fridge, as long as you avoid opening the door. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, it is recommended that
you transfer all perishable/sensitive contents to a functional fridge or cooler.
To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it
open if necessary. Lay a towel down below the open front of the fridge in case
any frost buildup melts and drains out.

VACATION TIME

Short vacations: Leave the fridge running during vacations that are shorter
than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the fridge will not be used for a month or more, remove all
items and turn it off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Lay a towel down below the open front of the fridge in case any frost buildup
melts and drains out.

13

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Remove all contents.

2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.

3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damaging them.

4. Tape the door shut.

5. Be sure the fridge stays secure in an upright position during transportation.

Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The appliance should be placed in the coolest location possible, away from

heat-producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.

• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.

• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before storing them in the fridge.

• Do not overload the fridge, as it forces the compressor to run more

frequently, increasing the power consumption.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing

them in the fridge, in order to prevent frost buildup.

• Do not line shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels, as they

will prevent proper air circulation.
