Electrical
• Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
• The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate
over-current protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
• The unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
• If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the compressor.
Adjusting the Temperature
Your new refrigerator or freezer is already factory-set to
run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should
require no adjustments.
Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a
maximum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Freezers are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -5 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum
temperature of 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not
run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
Digital Control Units
• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings
Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The
cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the
compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum
temperatures and possible health code violations.

Operation/Maintenance
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
• For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
• Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen
equipment retailer.
Cleaning the Fan Blades and Motor
• If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth.
• If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
Cleaning the Interior of Unit
• When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap.
• Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach that may damage the interior finish.
• Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly. Simply remove the door gasket from the
frame of the door, soak it in warm water and soap for thirty (30) minutes, then dry with soft cloth
and replace.
• Check door gaskets for proper seal after they are replaced.
• Periodically remove the shelves and shelf brackets from the unit, and clean them with a mild soap
and warm water.
Defrost System
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor
down-time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air
circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost.
Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated. Freezer coils are defrosted
electrically. Automatic defrost timers automatically initiate at pre-set intervals and for a
pre-determined duration.
