OPERA TING YOUR UNIT
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature
control is located on top side of the compartment.
•The first time you tum the unit on, set the temperature control to "5" ..
•The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF" to "5'. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
tempeiature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "3" should be
appropriate for home or office use.
•To turn the appliance
off,
turn the temperature control to "OFF"
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off
the
power to the unit.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned
off,
you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
CAUTION:
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will v_oid the warranty.
We recommend using a plastic scraper.
Cleaning Your Unit
•Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelf, and tray.
•Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
•Wash the shelf and tray with a mild detergent solution.
•The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
•Leave excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
•Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
unit if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer
period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
•Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

•Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
•Tape the door shut.
