Read all instructions before using this appliance. Use this appliance only for its in-
tended purpose as described in this instruction manual. Always exercise basic safety
precautions, as described below. After reading the instruction manual, store it in an
accessible place where the user(s) of this product can easily find it.
The purpose of these safety precautions is to ensure safe and correct use of the prod-
uct to minimize risks that could cause serious damage and injury to you or others. The
safety precautions are divided into WARNINGS and CAUTI NS. Cases where im-
proper handling of the unit could lead to death or serious injury are listed under the
WARNING heading. However, the cases listed under CAUTI N could also lead to seri-
ous results. To ensure safety, adhere strictly to both types of safety precautions.

IMPORTA T SAFEGUARDS
1. All repairs, disassembly and modifications should be performed only by qualified
technicians. Attempting to perform these yourself could result in fire, malfunction or in-
jury.
2. Never splash water directly onto the product or wash it with water without unplug-
ging, as a short circuit could result. In a rainy environment, a water-proof covering is
recommended.
3. Never put flammable or volatile substances into the unit as explosion and fire could
result.
4. Do not damage, modify, excessively bend, strain, twist or bundle the power cord.
Also, placing heavy objects on the power cord or binding it could damage the cord,
possibly resulting in electrical shock or fire.
5. Use a dedicated wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or multiple-outlet adap-
tor as this could result in electrical shock, overheating and fire.
6. Never use flammable spray cans or leave flammable substances near the unit.
Sparks from electrical switches could result in explosion or fire. If a combustible gas is
present near the appliance, turn off the source of the gas, then open the windows and
doors to allow the gas to dissipate. To avoid an explosion, do not pull the plug or switch
off the unit.
7. The electrical socket must have good grounding. The ground wire cannot be con-
nected with a gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It
cannot be replaced with the neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the
ground wire, an electrical leakage circuit breaker is also required.
8. If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock
could result.
9. Never climb onto the unit. The unit could tip over or fall and cause material dam-
age or personal injury.
10. Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet before moving the unit and
make sure that the power cord is not damaged during transport. A damaged power
cord could result in electrical shock and/or fire.
11. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet. Pulling the cord could cause wire breakage, possibly
resulting in overheating and fire.
12. Repair or replace any cord that is frayed. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasions along its length.

1. This unit must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions
before it is used. See grounding instructions in the Installation section.
2. This model can either be built-in or free-standing. Built-in units vent at the bottom
front and airflow at the front of this vent must be unimpeded.
3. Install the unit in a location where the floor is sturdy enough to support the load of
the unit. If the floor is not sturdy enough or installation is incorrectly performed, the unit
could tip over and cause personal injury. If the unit is placed on a stand, the front sur-
face must be 3” or more back from the edge of the stand in order to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
4. Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit. bjects
could fall and cause injury and spilled water could cause the deterioration of the insu-
lation of electrical components and result in electrical shock.
5. Disconnect the unit if it is behaving abnormally, and do not reconnect until the sit-
uation is corrected.
6. Pull out the plug before doing any maintenance on the unit to avoid electric shock.
7. Never pull out plug when hands are wet!
8. This unit is not intended for the storage of medicines or chemical reagents.
9. Keep packing materials away from children.
10. Condenser water from evaporator drains into a hole in the floor of the storage com-
partment and is channeled into a drain pan located at the back of the unit on the
compressor. Heat transferred from the compressor evaporates any water that has col-
lected in the pan. Be sure the drain hole in the floor of the unit is clear and unob-
structed.
11. During long absences, remove the unit’s contents, unplug the unit, clean it and
leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or
odors. Use a cover to protect the unit and prolong its lifespan.
12. Leave disassembly and disposal of the unit to qualified experts.

LOCATIO S OF PARTS

Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe down the
outside of the refrigerator thoroughly. Use a clean cloth dampened with lukewarm
water to wipe down the inside of the refrigerator.
Air must circulate freely in front of the refrigerator. Avoid placing the appliance
near any source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect
the finish, and nearby heat sources will cause higher electrical consumption.
The utdoor Refrigerator is designed to be either free-standing or built-in. It has mo-
torized fans at the back of the unit that direct compressor-generated heat away
from the compressor and through the front of the unit, keeping the front vents unob-
structed. If the unit is built-in, allow minimum clearances of 1/4” at the sides, 1/2” at
the back and 1” at the top.

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 wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord hav-
ing a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet
that is properly grounded and installed. The ground wire cannot be connected to a
gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or lightning rod. It cannot be re-
placed with the neutral wire of single-phase power. In addition to the ground wire, an
electrical leakage circuit breaker is also required. Consult a qualified electrician if
you do not completely understand these grounding instructions.
DO OT U DER A Y CIRCUMSTA CES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROU D) PRO G
FROM THE POWER CORD.
If installation in a damp location is unavoidable, have an electrician install a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock
could result.
Do ot Use an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions.

IMPORTA T: Do not plug in the refrigerator for 24 hours after unit is set in place.
Failure to do so may result in the unit working improperly.
This refrigerator has a rotary temperature control knob (thermostat) inside the unit
which is marked with the settings FF-C LD-C LDEST in order of increasing coldness.
In addition, this model employs a heater inside the cabinet and is designed for out-
door use.
ote: To prevent excessive strain on the compressor, do not leave the unit at the
C LDEST setting for more than an hour at a time.
perating instructions
Turning on the Unit
The refrigerator turns on automatically when it is plugged in. When the air tempera-
ture is below 40°F, follow this procedure to stop the compressor:
1. Turn the temperature control knob (thermostat) to the C LD setting.
2. Continuing turning the control knob counter-clockwise to the FF setting. The
compressor will stop working and the heater will turn on automatically to maintain
the temperature at a suitable level.
OTES:
• If the ambient temperature is above 40ºF, turn the thermostat to the range be-
tween C LD and C LDEST to cool foods.
• If the ambient temperature is below 25°F, do not use the unit to store anything.
• 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 min-
utes.
Temperature Setting
Initially set the thermostat to the midpoint between the C LD and C LDEST settings.
The compressor will run continuously for a few hours until the temperature inside the
appliance becomes stable. After this, the compressor runs normally (i.e., turns on and
off periodically).
When the unit is operated for the first time, it is suggested that you not put food inside
until the compressor is running normally.
Adjusting the thermostat clockwise will make the compressor run for a longer time
with a shorter compressor stop time, and the temperature inside the appliance will
become colder. The setting should be regulated according to ambient conditions
and the desired temperature. The compressor will run for a while after each regula-
tion before reaching a steady temperature.

Please note: Cold air falls and warmer air rises, and there will be a small temperature
variation from the bottom of the unit to the top. The temperature at the bottom of
the unit will always be slightly colder.
Operating the Internal Light
This appliance has an internal light to make it easier for you to see the foods you
have stored. When the door is open, the light will be on and when it is closed, the
light will be off.
Shelving
The wire racks in your unit are chrome-plated so they will not rust. The unit has
3 adjustable chrome-plated flat wire shelves and a wire basket to hold cans and bot-
tles of beverages such as beer, water and soft drinks.
These racks are removable and reversible. To take out a rack, remove any cans or
bottles from the rack and pull it out until it stops. Then lift up the front of the rack and
remove it from the unit.
