SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions
must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all
instructions before using this appliance and observe the
following safety tips:
Attention: Child Entrapment Risk!
To prevent the risk of child entrapment, do not allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the unit. If the unit will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot crawl inside. Also remove the door when disposing of the unit.
Shock Hazard –Electrical Grounding Required
•Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the
electricity has been disconnected.
•Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a
two-prong grounding adaptor.
•Altering or cutting the power cord, removing the power cord, and removing
the power plug or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire, and loss of
property and/or life, and will void the warranty.
•Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
•Avoid operating this fridge in excessively moist or humid environments.
Important Precautions:
•Do not lift the unit using the door handle.
•Never install or operate the unit inside cabinets or without proper
clearances.
•Failure to clean the condenser every six months can cause the unit to
malfunction.
•Allow the unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.
•Do not block any internal fans.
•Keep the fridge away from hazardous materials or combustible/flammable
substances.
•Use only genuine supplier’s replacement parts. Imitation parts can damage
the unit, affect its operation or performance, and may void the warranty.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
This fridge is a freestanding unit and should not be built into surrounding
cabinetry. Allow for proper air clearance around the fridge. The recommended
clearances are as follows:
Sides: ¾” (19 mm)
Top: 4” (100 mm)
Back: 2” (50 mm)
Before operating your fridge for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft
cloth.
2. Place the fridge on a level surface that will be strong enough to
support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your fridge, adjust the
front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
3. Install the fridge away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s
acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also
prevent proper performance.
4. Once the fridge is plugged in, let the fridge run for at least 30 minutes
before stocking. Do not change the temperature or adjust any settings
during this time.
WARNING: placing beverages up against the back panel of the fridge could
cause cans or bottles to rupture due to excessively low temperatures. Always
allow room for air circulation between the back panel and any drinks.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL PANEL
After turning on the fridge, the LED display will show the ambient temperature
first, and then the internal cabinet temperature.
Press the “light” button to turn the interior lighting on and off. Use the up and
down arrows to adjust the temperature. The interior temperature can be
adjusted in increments of 1 degree between 39°F and 64°F.
After you set the desired temperature, this set temperature will flash for 5
seconds on the display and then revert back to displaying the current internal
temperature.
To change the temperature readout to either Fahrenheit or Celsius,
simultaneously press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons for 3 seconds.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
•To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, be sure to place your
fridge in an area where there is proper air circulation. (See Installation
instructions above for proper clearances.)
•For proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your fridge. When storing
beverages, keep them away from the rear wall. To allow free circulation of
cold air, don’t pack beverages too tightly on the shelves.
•Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
•Do not place heated beverages or food in your fridge.
•Do not store perishable food in your fridge. The unit’s interior temperature
may not be low enough to prevent spoilage.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of the fridge.
