Warning: Risk of Child Entrapment!

Before you throw away your old appliance: Take off the doors. Leave the

shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. Cut the connection cable as close to the appliance as you can.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND CORD HANDLING

• Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label. If this is not the case, contact customer service immediately.

• Do not use any other appliance at the same time on the same electrical circuit as it may overload the circuit and blow the fuse or circuit breaker.

• To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, power base or the Retro Under Counter Fridge body itself in water or other liquid. Do not expose the electrical connections to water.

• Do not kink, bend, squash, strain or damage the power cord and always protect it from sharp edges and heat.

QUICK START GUIDE

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE

• Before first use, it is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor.

• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage. Remove all packaging materials from around and inside the appliance but do not remove any foam insulation surrounding the

pipes in the rear of the unit.

• Keep the original packaging carton and materials in a safe place, as these materials are helpful in keeping your appliance stored long-term should the need arise. If you dispose of the product packaging, please recycle the materials accordingly.

• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure that all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.

• Make sure the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning the interior surfaces and all internal accessories with lukewarm water, a soft cloth, and a mild detergent. This will remove any dust collected in transit and storage and help to remove any factory smells.

Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or powders as these will damage the finish.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility

of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

This beverage fridge is a freestanding unit and should not be built into surrounding cabinetry. Allow for proper air clearance around the fridge. The recommended clearances are as follows:

Sides: 5” Top: 4" Back:4"

Before operating your beverage fridge for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Allow the unit to sit upright for 24 hours prior to first use. Upon the first use, allow the unit to sit at the desired temperature for at least 30 minutes before changing settings or filling it with drinks.

2. Clean the interior surface of the unit with warm water and a soft cloth.

3. Handle the unit with care. Do not apply force to any parts, such as the condenser or the door. The metal rails on the bottom of the unit may be sharp, so please use caution when moving the unit. Do not tilt the unit beyond 45 degrees or drag it across the floor.

4. Place the fridge on a level surface that will be strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your fridge, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit. If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal may not work properly. (Please note that placing your fridge on carpet may result in expelled heat fading the carpet.)

5. Install the fridge away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also prevent optimal performance.

Page 12

INSTALLING YOUR SPLIT SHELF

The top zone of the fridge comes with an adjustable split shelf configuration for your beverages, enabling you to have either a full-sized shelf or a half-sized shelf to accommodate different sized cans or bottles.

To install, simply remove the first shelf from the top zone of the fridge and replace with the included half-sized shelf.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Your beverage fridge can be set to your desired temperature using the thermostat. The unit’s temperature range is 32°F to 50°F.

The temperature scale runs from 1, the warmest setting, to 5, the coldest.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE

• To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, be sure to place your beverage fridge in an area where there is proper air circulation.

• For proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your beverage fridge. When storing beverages, keep them away from the rear wall. To allow free circulation of cold air, don’t pack beverages too tightly on the shelves.

• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.

• Do not place heated beverages in your fridge.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the beverage fridge.

• Note that the unit will delay restarting for 3-5 minutes after losing power or

being unplugged as a safety precaution.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR FRIDGE

To clean your fridge:

• Unplug the fridge and remove anything inside. Clean accessories with soap and water—do not submerge.

• Wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and gentle detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Use mild, soapy water to clean the unit’s door seal.

• Thoroughly clean the back and bottom of the beverage fridge.

• To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water. Dust

the outside of the unit every 6 months.

• Allow all components to dry completely before returning to regular use.

DEFROSTING YOUR FRIDGE

To prevent ice buildup on the inside of the beverage fridge, it may be necessary to defrost occasionally:

1. Unplug the beverage fridge.

2. Allow frost to melt from the inside of the fridge. If necessary, use a plastic utensil to scrape ice from the interior surface.

3. Dry thoroughly before plugging it in again.

4. Do not allow the unit to defrost while the door is shut and sealed— prop open the door to prevent mildew buildup.

GOING AWAY?

• Short vacation: Leave the fridge in operation during vacations of less than a month.

• Long vacation: If you are not going to use the fridge for extended periods, remove everything stored inside and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly. (Restrict children’s access to the room with the open fridge to avoid creating a child entrapment risk.)

Page 14

MOVING THE FRIDGE

• Unplug the fridge and remove everything kept inside. Securely tape

down the door and shelves. Turn the leveling feet up to the base to avoid damage.

• CAUTION: Never pick up the refrigerator by the door.

•

Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material and make sure the fridge stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES

Be sure to make any locks unusable, remove any door(s), and dispose of the unit following local guidelines.

Warning – Chemical Hazard: Do not allow children to play with the old appliance. Contact your local authority for

disposal procedures.

• Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is switched off and secured. Unplug the appliance and break any locks in order to prevent children from becoming trapped.

• Please note: Refrigeration system contains gas and refrigerants that require specialized waste disposal. Some vulnerable materials in a refrigerator are not damaged prior to disposal. You can contribute to environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate non-polluting method of disposal.

DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING

Do not allow children to play with the packaging. Dispose of plastic bags safely.

• The cardboard may be broken down or cut into smaller pieces and

recycled. Any wrapping is made of polyethylene. The polyethylene pads and padding can be recycled.
