Changing Door Hinge Location
Re er to the disassembly diagram and
change the door hinges according to the
ollowing steps.
De rosting
This re rigerator is equipped with an automatic de rost timer so that no manual
operation is required or de rosting.
The de rost timer is located on the rear wall o the re rigerator. The black
segment o the de rost timer dial (see below) rom 0 to 3 covers a 3-hour time
span and represents the normal de rosting period the compressor does not
operate. The de rost timer will continue to operate and will repeat the 3-hour
de rost period once every twenty- our (24) hours as long as the re rigerator is
plugged in. The most practical time or automatic de rosting is between
midnight and 3:00 a.m.
Example
I the re rigerator was started at 9:00 a.m., set the timer sha t
to the number 9 on the timer dial. I it was started at 6:00 p.m.,
set the sha t to number 18.
De rost starting time may be altered by changing the position
o the timer sha t as desired. For voluntary de rosting, set the timer sha t to 0.
This will start the 3-hour de rosting immediately and a ter completion the
re rigeration cycle will begin again. However, the de rosting cycle will be
automatically repeated at the same time every twenty- our (24) hours.
While de rosting, the de rost water is drained out o the cabinet into an
evaporating tray on the rear wall o the re rigerator and is evaporated
automatically. To set the timer sha t, use a screwdriver and turn the sha t
CLOCKWISE only.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your re rigerator does not require any maintenance.
Turn o your re rigerator and remove all ood, shelves, trays, etc. Wash the
interior liner with a solution o two tablespoons o baking soda and a quart o
warm water. Then, rinse and wipe it out. Do not use soaps, detergents,
scouring powders, spray cleaners or the like or cleaning the interior liner, as
these may cause odors in the re rigerator compartment.
Wash the ice cube trays, drip tray and shelves in a mild detergent solution and
dry with a so t cloth.
Wipe the exterior sur ace with a so t cloth dampened with soapy water and dry
it with a so t cloth. Normal appliance spray cleaners may be used or the
exterior only.
Use only mild soap and water to clean the door gasket.
Never use acid, chemical thinners, gasoline, benzene or
the like to clean any part o the re rigerator. Boiling water
and benzene may de orm or damage the plastic parts.
ATTENTION
I the unit is turned o or unplugged, YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES
BEFORE RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT. The unit will not start i you
attempt to restart it in less than three (3) minutes.
Where to Place Your MicroFridge® with Sa e Plug®
1. Select a location with a strong, level loor. I the
loor is not quite level, adjust the height o the ront
legs accordingly.
2. Allow our inches o space between the re rigerator’s
back and the wall, one inch above the re rigerator
and one inch on the side.
3. Avoid any direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight
may a ect the enamel coating. Heat sources
nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
4. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the
air will cause rost to orm very quickly on the evaporator and the
re rigerator will have to be de rosted more requently.
5. Your re rigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug and is grounded to
eliminate electrical hazards. In order to make it more e ective, it must be
plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Plug your re rigerator into the back o the microwave.
Test Run Your Re rigerator
Be ore using your re rigerator, clean it and test run it to see i it is operating
properly. I it is not, then check your electrical source. I you cannot locate
the source o the problem, contact your dealer.
1. Set the temperature control knob to the OFF position and then plug the AC
cord into an electrical outlet o 115 volt, 60Hz. The compressor motor
should not run.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the MAX position and let the
re rigerator operate or 20 minutes. The reezer (ice compartment) should
get slightly rosted and the motor should run smoothly with a so t hum.
3. Rotate the temperature control knob counter-clockwise toward the MIN
position. Be ore the pointer o the temperature control knob reaches the
MIN position, the compressor motor should turn o .
How to Remove Ice Cubes rom the Tray
The ice cube tray is lexible. Twist the tray to remove the
ice cubes. I the ice cube tray is rozen hard to the
sur ace, do not use a kni e or other metal instrument to
remove it because this may damage the sur ace.
WARNING:
Do not route high-voltage electrical cords
underneath the hinge clip. Only use the
clip to cover low-voltage electrical cords.
Installing the Hinge Clip
Temperature Control
You can control the temperature inside your re rigerator by turning the
temperature control dial. Dialing toward MAX means greater cooling power;
toward MIN mean less cooling power. Set the temperature control dials to MAX
only when the rapid re rigeration/ reezing o oodstu s in your re rigerator is
necessary. Be sure to set it back to MED later on
Important
− Do not operate your re rigerator or more than six hours at a stretch with the
temperature control dial set to MAX. At this setting, the compressor will run
continuously. Consequently, oodstu s stored in the
re rigerator compartment will be rozen and rost will
orm on the cooling (evaporator) unit.
− At the control dial setting o MIN the ice compartment
temperature will not remain at a su iciently low level or
ice to remain rozen solid.
Usually the temperature control dial should be set at the
MED position.
Be ore Calling or Service
We urge you to read the chart below. I the problem is not caused by de ective
workmanship or materials, you may be charged or service calls even during
the warranty period. Be ore calling or service, check these ew simple points:
Re rigerator
not operating
• Is the temperature control dial inside the re rigerator set to OFF?
• Is the unit unplugged? Be sure!
• Is the use blown or the circuit breaker tripped?
Storage
compartment
too warm
• Has the door been opened requently? Is it slightly ajar?
• Are the shelves overcrowded?
• Have large amounts o warm ood been added recently?
• Are the coils on the back clogged or blocked?
• Is the temperature control dial set properly?
Excessive
noise
• Is the re rigerator level? (Try to rock it.)
• Are dishes vibrating?
• Are there objects behind or on top that are shaking?
• Does any part o the re rigerator touch the back or side wall?
• When the motor comes on, you may hear popping or cracking sounds as
metals expand or contract.
Moisture
• Moisture in the storage compartment is normal in humid weather.
• Is the door opened requently? Has the door been le t ajar?
Does the door it properly?
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it o .
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
3. Remove the lower hexagonal head screws
and the leg on the hinge side.
4. Remove the other leg.
5. Attach the bottom hinge with the hinge
sha t and the leg symmetrically to the other
side o the cabinet.
6. Attach the other leg.
7. Remove the two cabinet plug buttons and
remount them in the holes rom which the
screws were removed in step 2.
8. Remove the door plug button using a
screwdriver and insert it in the opposite
side o the door.
9. Use the screw to attach the upper hinge
and the spacer (i there is any). Do not
tighten the screw completely.
The direction in which the door opens has
now been changed; however, the ollowing
points should be checked:
a. Make sure the door is on straight.
b. Make sure there is no space between the
door gasket and the re rigerator unit itsel
when the door is closed.
c. Make sure that the gasket on the hinged
side is not caught between the door and the
unit when the door is opened or closed. (I
the door is orced closed when the gasket
is caught, the gasket may be damaged).
10. A ter making sure that the door is installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the
hinges.
