compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts as outlined
in the Description of Parts section.
INSTALLATION
1. Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. It should
not be recessed or built-in. (See the ‘Proper Air Circulation’ section below).

4. If the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45°, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source.
This will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system.
5. Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall
outlet (115 volts / 15 amps). DO NOT under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord as this
may result in a shock hazard. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician
or an authorized service center.
6. After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool
down for 2-3 hours before placing food into the refrigerator.
7. DO NOT install your refrigerator in any location that is not properly
insulated or heated (e.g. garage, etc.). Your refrigerator is not designed
to operate in temperatures below 13°C / 55°F. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may cause the refrigerator to perform improperly.
8. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away
from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Any floor unevenness should
be corrected.
9. Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
Use of an Extension Cord
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Proper Air Circulation
To ensure that your refrigerator works at maximum efficiency, you should
install it in a location where there is proper air circulation. The following
are recommended clearances around the refrigerator unit:
Sides 3/4” (19 mm)
Back 2” (51 mm)
Top 2” (51 mm)
Leveling Your Refrigerator
1. Your refrigerator has two leveling legs, which are located in the front
corners of your refrigerator.
2. Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your refrigerator.
The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Door Alignment
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the screws of the bottom hinge
by turning in a counter-clockwise direction.
2. Remove the bottom hinge bracket.
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and then tighten the screws.
4. Replace the bottom hinge bracket.
Reversing the Door
1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the bottom hinge screws by
turning in a counter-clockwise direction. Remove the screws and
the bottom hinge bracket.
2. Holding the two sides of the door, pull the door down carefully.
3. Loosen and remove the screws on the top hinge bracket with
a Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the top hinge bracket.
4. Affix the top hinge bracket onto the screw hole of the opposite side.
Insert the screws into the opposite holes and turn in a clockwise direction,
but do not over-tighten.
5
SAL7-563 Booklet Salton Compact Refregirator CF-2029_EN VF.qxd 6/28/07 4:46 PM Page 5

5. Align the hole on top of the door with the top hinge
bracket. Be sure to keep the door flush and level
with the cabinet.
6. Put the bottom hinge bracket on the opposite side
of the bottom of the door and tighten the screws,
but do not over-tighten.
7. Open and close the door several times and make
sure that the door closes easily but forms a tight seal. Adjust the bottom
hinge bracket if the door rubs against the doorframe. Once the door is
aligned, tighten the screws on the bottom hinge bracket.
HOW TO USE
1. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
2. Plug the unit into a suitable wall outlet (115 volts / 15 amps).
3. Your refrigerator has one control dial for regulating the temperature.
The unit will automatically maintain the temperature level you select.
4. The range of the temperature control knob is from position 1 (warmest)
to position 6 (coldest). Initially set the dial to level 4, as this is most
suitable for general operation. Be sure to wait for 2-3 hours before
placing food within the refrigerator. After 24 hours of use, adjust
the temperature level to your desired setting.
5. Turning the temperature control to the OFF position stops the cooling
cycle but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator.
6. If the unit is unplugged, power is turned off, or you experience an electrical
outage, wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt
to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not turn on.
7. If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature
control knob by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
8. The refrigerator has shelves that can be adjusted to different levels that
will best suit your food storage needs.

9. To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf, gently tilt the shelf up
and slide it forward until the shelf has been completely removed. Reverse
the process to replace.
10. Your refrigerator is equipped with the convenient can dispenser
compartment. Simply load the cans from the top. To dispense a can,
simply draw one out from the bottom.
CARE AND CLEANING
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before
cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in injury or death.
1. Remove all food and shelves.
2. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator and the Door Gasket with a cloth
or sponge dampened in a warm water and baking soda solution, 30 ml
(2 tbsp) baking soda to 1 litre/quart of water.
3. Wash shelves with mild detergent.
4. The exterior should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened in mild
detergent and warm water.
5. Wring excess water out of the cloth before cleaning any areas that have
the controls or electrical parts.
6. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers which can damage or scratch the finish.
7. Clean Door Gaskets every three months. Gaskets must be kept clean
and pliable to assure a proper seal.
8. Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or
other causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When power has been restored, plug power cord back into
the AC outlet. Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and
should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator if you minimize
the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off
for a longer period of time, you may need to take the proper steps
to protect your food.
9. For long vacations or absences (over 3 weeks), unplug the refrigerator and
empty all food and beverage contents. Once the refrigerator reaches room
temperature, clean and dry the interior and door gaskets. To prevent odour
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly so air can circulate inside.

Helpful Hints
1. Locate the refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
2. Avoid overloading the refrigerator as this forces the cooling system
to run longer.
3. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
This helps to maintain optimum refrigerator operating temperature and
the quality of your food.
4. To help save energy, reduce door openings and extended searches, remove
as many items as required at one time, and close the door as soon
as possible.
5. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the refrigerator.
6. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator
less efficient.
