WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and su󰀨ocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent acci-
dents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
•Take o󰀨 the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specications, the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from 50
to 100°F (10 to 38°C).
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appli-
ance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstruct-
ed.
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to ow through the condenser heat ex-
changer. Restrictions to this air ow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason
it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Lynx Grills does not recommend the
use of a custom made grille as air ow may be restricted.
(See Figure 2).
INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-
ance should be set so the unit is rmly positioned on the
oor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between
the minimum, 333⁄4" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in
(CW ↷) and the maximum, 343⁄4" (88.3 cm) by turning the
leveling leg out (CCW ↶).
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the oor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the oor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning
the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appli-
ance forward using caution. On a level surface check the
appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille ad-
justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete
tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

CAREANDUSE/INSTALLATION
NOTE
Figure 6
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 6). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power
supply. The third ground prong should not, under any cir-
cumstances, be cut or removed.

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in
opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabi-
net and the power cord routed through this hole to a
power outlet. Another way to increase the available
opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the
rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this applica-
tion as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box
equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for
this application, (see Figure 8).

CARE AND CLEANING
Start-Up After Long-Term Storage:
1. Connect the unit to electrical power.
2. If stored outside, it is recommended that the unit again
be thoroughly inspected per the storage instructions
above to address any dirt or debris from the weather
and/or animals/insects.
3. Turn unit on and conrm your desired control settings.
4. Allow 24-hrs for the unit to stabilize before loading
contents.
17. Thoroughly clean the door gasket with anti-bacterial
cleaner to be followed with clean rinse water to remove
any residual chemicals.
18. Thoroughly clean the exterior with a cleaner approved
for stainless steel . Do not use any abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads.
19. Any mounting hardware / fasteners that are showing
signs of corrosion should be replaced.
20. Once the exterior has been thoroughly cleaned, you
may want to apply a coating of car wax to help protect
against spotting from moisture, dirt, and debris that
may accumulate on the surfaces during the Winteriza-
tion period.
21. Do not place a cover on the unit, as this can trap con-
densation.
After completion of the above, you may choose to store the
unit indoors, although this is not required.

Choosing a Cleaning Product
STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as
ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stain-
less steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained prop-
erly.
Stainless steels di󰀨er from ordinary carbon steels by the
amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that
provides an invisible protective lm on the surface called
chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide lm on the
surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may
result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base
metal.
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to
greatly extend the life of your product by removing contami-
nants. This is especially important in coastal areas which
can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as
halide salts, (sodium chloride).
It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thor-
oughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets,
bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid
could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contami-
nates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing
signs of corrosion should be replaced.
Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation
location, environmental, and usage conditions.
The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that
of the consumer, and there are many products from which
to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the
degree of contamination, some products are better than
others.
Typically the most e󰀨ective and e󰀩cient means for routine
cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the sur-
faces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water
and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rub-
bing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of
the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
Although some products are called "stainless steel clean-
ers," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the
surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide lm),
and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull,
tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.
After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned,
a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the
nish.
Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored
in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.
Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used
in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner
manufacturer.
The following suggestions will minimize the
cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other
heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-
neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow
ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door
openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart-
ment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents
stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-
ing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature
that meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-
perature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “o󰀨” position if cleaning the
appliance requires the door to be open for an extended
period of time.
