IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the refrigerator is plugged in or used, it must be properly positioned and installed
as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the refrigerator, follow basic precaution, including
the following:
* Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and
do not use an extension cord.
* It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use recepta-
cles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
* Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explo-
sion. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
* Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit
is disconnected.
* Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
* Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or death.
* Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically recom
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
* Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other

* Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This
will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transporta-
tion.
* Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Unit
* Follow the recommendations in this manual if the product is to be recessed or built-in.
* Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level
your unit, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
* Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ex-
treme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
* Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
* Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circum-
stances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Products
service center.
* After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before plac-
ing food in the refrigerator compartment.

WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the
risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it re-
placed by and authorized service center.
Electrical Connection
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-
prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord sup-
plied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115 Volt AC /60Hz GFCI protected electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading
house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the unit by pulling the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immedi-
ately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the
power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not
use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary
that it be a 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord be 220 volts and at least 15 amperes and rated for outdoor usage.
Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance
This refrigerator can be opened either from the left or right side. The default way of opening the
door is from the right side. If you want to open the door from the left side, please follow the instruct
ions below. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 on the following page.
NOTE: All the removed parts must be well kept for the reinstallation of the door
* Remove the three screws (5) that hold the lower door hinge (4), keep the hinge for later use.
* Remove the door from the upper pin , and keep the padded surface upwards to prevent
scratching.
* Remove the upper hinge cover (1), remove the two screws (2), hold the upper hinge(1),
save the hinge for later use.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Setting the Temperature Control
* Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature con-
trol is located on the top center of the compartment.
* The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5”.
* The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the tem-
perature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for
normal use.
* To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.
NOTE:
* Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
* If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will void the warranty.
We recommend using a plastic scraper.
Cleaning Your Unit
* Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelf, and tray.
* Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
* Wash the shelf and tray with a mild detergent solution.
* The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. A protective stainless
steel polish should then be applied in the direction of the grain.
* Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical
parts.
* Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth. A protective stainless steel polish should then be applied in the direction of the grain.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit 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 need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
* Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
* Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Unit
* Remove all the food.
* Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
* Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
* Tape the door shut.
* Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of
unit with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
* The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and
out of the direct sunlight.
* Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the com-
pressor to run longer.
* Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the unit.
* Unit storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
* Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
