To avoid the possibility of child entrapment, please take the following precautions before throwing out the refrigerator:

Remove all doors from the unit.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.

Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator level.

Locate the refrigerator 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. Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will hinder the performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.

Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.

Plug the refrigerator into a dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances 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 service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.

After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the top center of the refrigerator compartment.

The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “7” and run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.

The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position “1” the cold to “7” the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

Turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.

If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

Recommended temperature control setting for ice making is “7”.

Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on the bottom of the chiller compartment to freeze properly.

To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.

Re-set the temperature control to setting “4”.

This unit is not designed to defrost automatically. In order to prevent damage to the interior liner of the unit from excessive frost build-up, please manually defrost the unit every 3 months or when ice / frost is approximately 1/4 ” thick inside the freezer compartment.

Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice / frost are approximately 1/4 ” thick or every 3 months, whichever comes first. Set the thermostat dial to ” 0 ” to defrost. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment. Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice / frost to melt. Remove large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice / water and wipe the freezer compartment dry with a soft cloth. In the event that the ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, please allow the evaporator located behind the freezer wall to completely defrost for approximately 2 hours before restarting the unit. Restart the unit per starting instructions.

NOTE: All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the light bulb. Before removing the light bulb, unplug the appliance from the power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.

Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

It’s better that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

1. Remove the screws in top cover and then lift it.

2. Unscrew top hinge and then remove upper door and place it on a soft pad to avoid scratch.

3. Unscrew middle hinge. Then lift lower door and place it on a soft pad to avoid scratch.

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.

Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Remove all food content.

Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Remove all the food.

Clean the refrigerator.

Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor.

Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.

Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator 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 or have the door removed.

Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Remove all the food.

Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.

Tape the doors shut.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.

The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.

Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.

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.
