- The power cord must be connected to a protected circuit with the correct voltage
and amperage.
- Turn ʻoffʼ the power switch before disconnecting the power cord, whenever
performing maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated cabinet.
- Compressor warranties are void if compressor burns out due to improper voltage.
2. RE-STARTING
- If disconnected, wait for 5 minutes before re-starting.

BASIC OPERATION
1. Plug in to turn on the power and lamp switch located to the right side of the bottom
grille.
The display panel will light up and make a beeping noise.The compressor will begin
to run.
2. The default temperature setting is at “37˚F” for the Refrigerators.
The default temperature setting is at “-8˚F” for the Freezers.
3. The compressor is automatically cycled by the electronic controller (PCB, F-Sensor).
4. The defrost cycle is automatically controlled by the D-sensor, and the PCB.
5. Push the temperature up(+) button for higher temperatures and the temperature
down(-) button for lower temperatures.
6. Evaporator fan motor will run after all doors are completely closed.
7. Good air flow in freezer is critical.
Be careful when stationing the product so that it does not press against the back

1. If you push the T.F. (Turbo Freeze) button, the compressor will run for 120 minutes
to bring down the temperature more rapidly.
2. If you push the T.F. button again during Turbo Freeze mode, the compressor will
return to the normal operation.
3. During the Turbo Freeze mode, the temperature Up(+)/Down(-) button will not affect
the compressorʼs operation.
1. By pushing the UP(+)/Down(-) button, you can set the inside temperature.
- Refrigerators : From ʻ+50°Fʼ to ʻ+30°Fʼ
- Freezers : From ʻ+5°Fʼ to ʻ-17°Fʼ
2. To reduce the temperature, push the Down (-) button.
1. The electronic controller (PCB) features an intellectual algorithm which can recognize
the defrost period that eliminates any icing on the evaporator, which automatically
adjusts to optimal energy saving temperatures. For additional options, this feature
can be monitored and adjusted remotely by a wireless connection.
2. If it is necessary to change the intervals of defrost due to unusual operating
conditions, it can be accomplished by adjusting the switch which is located on the
inside the bottom grille.
3. Once all frost is eliminated, the temperature will continue to rise until it reaches 42.8˚F
(6˚C). When this temperature is detected by the defrost limit control, the defrost
control changes to refrigeration mode.
4. The panel displays “ ” during the defrost cycle.
This refrigerator will sound a warning alarm when temperatures fall outside of normal
temperature ranges.
After pressing the temperature adjustment button and turning off the alarm, please
