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 in 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 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 .
Sound o Flowing Is Noticeable
This sound is caused by the re rigerant lowing into the re rigerating device. It
does not denote a mal unction.
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.
Temperature Control
You can Control the temperature inside your re rigerator by turning the temperature
control dial. Higher numbers mean greater cooling power, smaller numbers mean less
cooling power.
Refrigerator
Set the temperature control dial to 3 or optimum
re rigeration e ects under normal conditions. Set the
temperature control dial to MAX only when the rapid
re rigeration in your re rigerator is necessary. Be sure
to set it back to 3 later on.
Freezer
For ordinary use, set the temperature control in
the “MED” position. For rapid reezing o
oodstu s or to make ice cubes in a hurry, set the
knob to the “COLD” position. Do not orget to set
the temperature control back to “MED” once the
rapid reezing process has been completed.
Important
− Do not operate your re rigerator or more than six hours at a stretch with the
temperature control dial set to 5 or 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 reezer compartment temperature will
not remain at a su iciently low level or ice cream and rozen oods.
Usually the cold control knob should be set at middle position.
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. It 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.
Cleaning the Evaporating Tray
Since dust accumulated on the evaporating tray
will decrease the evaporation e iciency, remove
the tray to clean.
The evaporating tray is set on re rigerator back.
To remove, pull it away rom the unit. A ter
cleaning make sure to put the tray securely back
in place otherwise de rosted water may spill or
the evaporation process maybe hindered.
Hot-Line
With the reezer-re rigerator in operation, it is possible that the
cabinet will eel warm at the ront edges. This does not
indicate trouble. It is attributable to the hot gas line design.
This prevents moisture rom accumulating and has nothing to
do with the storage temperature inside.
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.
Changing Door Hinge Location
The door o the re rigerator can be hinged on either side
so that the direction they open in can be chosen to suit
the place o installation. Re er to the disassembly
diagram and change the door hinges according to the
ollowing steps:
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it o .
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
The reezer door can now be removed.
3. Remove the middle hexagonal head screws. The
re rigerator door can now be removed.
4. Remove the hinge side leg, attach it to the leg hole
on the opposite side.
5. Remove the other leg, attach it to the leg hole on the
opposite side.
6. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other
side o the cabinet.
7. Remove the upper hinge plug buttons and insert
them in the holes rom which the screws were
removed in Step 2.
8. Remove the middle hinge plastic cover and remount it to cover the holes rom which the screws
were removed in Step 3.
9. Remove the plug button rom each door using a screwdriver and insert in the hole on the
opposite side o each door.
10. Attach the re rigerator door to the bottom hinge.
11. Rotate the middle hinge 180 degrees. Attach it
to the re rigerator door and secure it with a
screw. (Do not tighten the screw completely.)
12. Attach the upper hinge to the reezer door. Attach
the reezer to the middle hinge and use the screw
to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten the
screw completely.)
13. The direction in which the doors open has now
been changed; however, the ollowing points
should be checked:
A) Make sure both doors are on straight.
B) Make sure that there is no space between the door
gasket and the re rigerator unit itsel when the doors
are 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.)
14. A ter making sure that the doors are installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinges.
I they are not tightened, the doors may slip out o
position or there may be an opening between the
doors and the cabinet.
15. For models with senior living handles, remove the
screws holding the handle on the door. Remove
plastic pins rom the other side o the door and
insert them into the holes where the screws were
removed. Re-install the handle using the same
screws that were removed rom the door handles.
WARNING:
Do not route high-voltage electrical cords
underneath the hinge clip. Only use the clip
to cover low-voltage electrical cords.
