RFE33
Introduction
The Scotsman RFE33 Compact Refrigerator is a unique product, capable of being built into a cabinet because of its front vented, forced-air cooling system.
It’s also designed to be a companion to Scotsman’s DCE33 Automatic Ice Machine. To prevent door interference when installed to the left of a DCE33, the RFE33 comes from the factory with the door hinged on the left. The door swing may be reversed to suit the installation.
The RFE33 keeps its interior cool by removing heat from the freezing compartment at the top of the storage area and exhausting that heat out the right front grill.

RFE33
Installation:
After the carton has been removed, check for any concealed damage. Check the unit interior and exterior. After this check, the unit may be installed.
Open the door and remove all packing materials, including warranty packet, tape, and warranty registration. Note: Keep the filler plate for use when reversing door swing.
Wipe the interior of the cabinet with soap and water to remove any manufacturing or shipping residue.
The RFE33 will work fine as a free standing refrigerator, minimal attention to leveling, electrical power supply and no obstruction of air flow will provide an adequate environment.
The RFE33 is only designed to be operated indoors. Malfunctions due to outdoor operation will not be covered by warranty.
Excessive heat (over 100oF.) will cause poor performance.
When built in, some precautions must be taken:
Size: The space occupied by the refrigerator is:
•15 1⁄4" wide (including screw heads at the base)
•24" deep to the front edge of the door handle
•33 3⁄8" high (33 7⁄8" to the top of the door hinge).
Note: When installed in a corner, the door swing may be limited due to handle contact with the wall or cabinet face.
Danger!
Risk of Child Entrapment
Before discarding the product this unit replaces, or when discarding this product at the end of its useful life:
•Take off the door
•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
There is a kick plate at the bottom front of the cabinet, the louvers in that kick plate allow air to flow through the cooling mechanism, and those louvers must not be blocked at any time.

The cabinet legs should be flush with the floor, so that the refrigerator may be pulled out without damage to the floor.
The electrical supply must be near enough so that an extension cord is not used. The power requirements are 115 volts AC, 60 cycle, single phase (normal U.S. house current). Scotsman recommends that the refrigerator not be connected to a circuit with high amperage equipment already on it. Check with a licensed electrician for recommendations. Be sure to follow all applicable electrical codes.
The RFE33 is UL listed, meaning it has met certain requirements for electrical safety. Any modification or substitution of components may violate those requirements, and Scotsman will not be responsible for any RFE33 so modified. Always use Scotsman replacement parts.
