Note to Customer:
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our plant.
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment.
As directed on the side of your packing carton, claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must
be made on the carrier as follows:
A.) Visible Loss, Damage, Shortage External Evidence of Loss or Damage: This type of
damage must be noted on the freight bill and acknowledged by the carrier’s agent (driver) at time
of delivery. Make sure you get a signed copy. Send a written request for an inspection to the
carrier.
B.) Concealed Damage: This type of damage may not be discovered until the unit is being
unpacked. When concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking immediately and contact the
carrier immediately to report the claim and request an inspection. This should be done as soon
as possible and, in any case, must be done within 15 days or receiving the merchandise. If at all
possible, do not move the item and save all packaging material for carrier’s inspection.
C.) FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN THE CARRIER
REFUSING TO HONOR YOUR COMPANY’S CLAIM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD THE MERCHANDISE BE RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER. NO RETURNS
WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

RECEIVING
Your unit was built, packaged, and inspected with extreme care. We shipped it to you using
carriers we trust with a proven track record of careful handling, good customer service, and on
time delivery. Unfortunately, regardless of all of these efforts sometimes accidents happen and
occasionally those accidents result in shipping damage. When the carrier picked up the
merchandise from us, they assumed responsibility for its condition en route to you. Thus, any
claims for shipping damage must be filed with the carrier. Like anybody else, carriers don’t like
to pay out on insurance claims, so their claims procedures and requirements are very
restrictive. You should consult the carrier’s website for their specific claims procedures. You
should also know that time is of the essence.
There are two general types of shipping damage. The first is visible damage. This type of
damage includes visible loss, damage, shortage or any external evidence of loss or damage that
is visible at time of delivery. This type of damage must be noted in detail on your delivery
receipt. Make sure the driver signs and dates the delivery receipt, acknowledging the
damage. This has to happen at the time of delivery or it won’t happen at all. Keep a copy for
your records and send another to the carrier’s damage claims department along with a formal
request for an inspection report. Follow up with a phone call. Their contact information can be
found on the carrier’s web site.
The second type of shipping damage is concealed damage. This type of damage will probably
not be apparent at time of delivery and may not be discovered until unpacking and inspecting
the unit. Remember, time is of the essence here. You should unpack and inspect the unit as
soon as possible. Each day that passes reduces the likelihood that the carrier will pay the claim.
As soon as the concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking and retain all packing
materials. Contact the carrier by phone to report the claim. Note the date and time and
person you spoke with. Get a claim number. Follow up with a written letter referencing the
claim number and including a formal request for an inspection. Again, consult the carrier’s
website for specific claim instructions and follow them precisely.
AS STATED ABOVE, THE CARRIER IS YOUR SOLE SOURCE FOR SATISFACTION OF A DAMAGE
CLAIM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MERCHANDISE BE RETURNED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNCRATING
Move your refrigerator as close to the
final location as possible before
unpacking. Remove the carton and
the styrofoam strips. The location
should be as close as possible to the
power outlet so no extension cord is
needed.
LEVELING
You can level your unit with the screw-
type adjustable leveling legs on the front corners of the unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise
the corner; turn clockwise to lower it. Leveling legs are required in front only. Unit may
have a slight tilt from front to back. This is acceptable and is recommended on this unit.
POWER SOURCE
The supply circuit to this cabinet must
conform to all National and Local
Electrical Codes. Consult the cabinet
Serial-Data plate for voltage, cycle,
phase, and amp requirements before
making connection. VOLTAGE
SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 5%
FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS. A
separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of
product due to over-loading or failure of other equipment on the
same circuit. PROTECT THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP DELAY-TYPE
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. Do not use an extension cord. Be
sure your unit is properly grounded. Use the 3-prong plug
provided into a 3-prong grounded outlet. (Only this method
complies with national electrical codes, local codes and
ordinances.) Unless the above grounding method is followed, you
are not protected against severe or lethal shock in the event of a
short circuit of an electrical component or wiring of the unit.

STARTING
There are no compressor shipping bolts to loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary after
the unit has been properly leveled is to plug the service cord into an electrical outlet When
starting this new appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of four hours or until it has
started cycling normally before placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may
start and stop several times when the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the
weather is very hot. This is normal. The motor compressor will cycle normally as soon as the
excess heat has been removed.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
NOTE: The control is preset at the factory to provide the desired air and product
temperatures inside of the unit and requires no further adjustment. Please
contact the manufacturer’s Technical Service Department before making any
adjustments to determine if adjustment is necessary and, if so, to make sure it is
performed properly.
This unit has an electronic temperature controller located on the front panel above the door.
This controller controls the compressor. Operation of this controller is described starting on
page 7 of this manual.
