IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this instruction
manual.
2. This refrigerator/beverage cooler must be properly grounded in accordance
with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in
the Installation section. Do not use an extension cord.
3. This model must be installed as a free-standing unit only. The model vents at
the back, and airflow from these vents must be unimpeded to allow the air to
flow freely and promote low power consumption.
4. If the unit is placed on a countertop or stand, the front surface of the door must
be 3” or more back from the edge of the countertop or stand in order to avoid
accidental tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
5. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
6. Repair or replace immediately all electric service 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 the plug or connector end.
7. Do not use any electric device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
8. Unplug your unit before cleaning or before making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommended that any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Energy-Saving Tips
Do not place your refrigerator next to a heating vent, a range or in direct
sunlight.
Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot, humid weather.
Cover foods to reduce moisture buildup inside the appliance.
Installation
This refrigerator is designed for free-standing installation only. It has a fan at the
bottom of the unit to direct compressor-generated heat away from the compressor
and through vents in the back of the unit. The airflow from the vents at the back of
the system must be unimpeded. Allow a minimum clearance of 4” at the back of
the unit to ensure proper air circulation. Once the unit is positioned, the leveling
legs should be turned to level the refrigerator. Installation should be such that the
cabinet can be moved for servicing if necessary.
If you wish the unit to be mobile, the four supplied rolling casters can be attached
to the bottom of the unit. These casters can be locked into place when the
refrigerator is in the desired location.
The door handle is connected to the left edge of the door with four screws.
To reverse the door opening, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
handle from the left edge of the door, and then screw it onto the right. It will be
necessary to switch the locations of the upper and lower door hinges. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the screw on top of the refrigerator that holds the triangular
hinge cover, using a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Remove the two hex nuts holding the upper hinge bracket to the top of
the refrigerator, using an adjustable wrench or a 5/16” hex socket driver.
Lift off the bracket, being careful not to lose the small black gasket on
the hinge pin.
3. Lift the door off the lower hinge bracket and tilt the refrigerator
backwards.
4. Unscrew the lower hinge bracket using the 5/16” hex socket driver.
Screw it firmly into the corresponding screw holes on the opposite
corner of the unit.
5. Set the refrigerator back on its feet and remove two black rubber plugs
from the corner of the upper surface. These plugs should be placed
5
6. Set the door onto the bottom hinge bracket and fix it in place by
inserting the upper hinge (with its gasket) and screwing the upper hinge
bracket into position. Test that the door opens and shuts properly and
is correctly aligned before fully tightening the screws.
7. Screw the hinge cover into place.
Electrical Connection
IMPORTANT! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
shock by providing an escape route for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that is properly grounded and installed. Consult a
qualified electrician or service center if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions. If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of Extension Cords
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions.

Operating Your Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the unit for at least 24 hours after unit is set in place.
Failure to do so may result in the unit working improperly.
This refrigerator/beverage cooler has a rotary temperature control knob
(thermostat) marked with the settings COLD, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, COLDEST in order of
increasing coldness. In addition, this model employs a heater inside the cabinet,
and is designed for outdoor use. When the temperature is colder than the temperature setting, the heater works automatically to maintain the temperature setting.
Note: To prevent excessive strain on the compressor, do not leave the
unit at the COLDEST setting for more than an hour at a time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turning on the Unit
The refrigerator turns on automatically when it is plugged in.
Note: If you unplug the refrigerator or the power is cut off accidentally,
allow 8 minutes before restarting it or plugging it back in. It will not
operate properly in less than 8 minutes.
Temperature Setting
Initially set the thermostat to setting 4. The compressor will run continuously for a
few hours and only after the temperature inside the appliance becomes stable will
the compressor run normally (i.e., turn on and off periodically).
When the unit is operated for the first time, it is suggested that you not put foods in
until the compressor is running normally.
Adjusting the thermostat counter-clockwise will make the compressor run for a
longer time with a shorter compressor stop time, and the temperature inside the
appliance will be colder. The setting should be regulated according to ambient
conditions and the desired temperature. The compressor will run for a while after
each regulation before reaching a steady temperature.
Please note:
temperature variation from the bottom of the unit to the top. The
temperature at the bottom of the unit will always be slightly colder.
Cold air falls and warmer air rises, and there will be a small
