Transport the refrigerator in an upright position only, or leave it in an upright position for at least 4 hours before first use.

When positioning or moving the refrigerator, ensure that it is not turned upside down or greater than 45 degrees or more off level.

This refrigerator must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drips.

Allow at least 5 inches of air space on all sides of the refrigerator for good air circulation.

Always place the refrigerator on a hard, level, and even surface that can support the unit when it is full.

Ensure objects are not obstructing the air vent.

Never insert your fingers or other objects into the air outlets.

This refrigerator must be earthed.

Flammable refrigerant is used in this unit. Consult the repair manual/owner guide before attempting to install or service this product. All safety precautions must be followed.

Dispose of property in accordance with federal or local regulations.

Follow handling instructions carefully due to the risk of puncture of refrigerant tubing.

The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with the safety standard for refrigeration systems, ASHRAE15.

The refrigerator shall not be installed in corridors or hallways of public buildings.

If the unit has a problem and needs maintenance, it should be replaced with like components, and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

An empty refrigerator can be hazardous for children or small pets. If disposing of the refrigerator, remove gasket seals, latches, lids, or the entire door from your unused refrigerator to ensure the refrigerator is harmless.

Step 1. Remove the exterior and interior packing.

Step 2. 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 handling during transportation.

Step 3. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

The refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation.

Do not store or install the refrigerator outdoors.

This refrigerator is designed for storing and cooling beverages. Do not store perishable food, medicine, or other medical products.

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

To level your refrigerator, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the refrigerator if needed.

An allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator is suggested, which allows proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

It is not recommended to install the refrigerator on carpet.

Avoid installing the refrigerator near an oven or other heating source, as direct sunlight and heat sources may affect performance.

A freestanding installation will allow you to install the refrigerator in any place you desire provided that the required clearance space around the refrigerator is respected.

Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet.

The refrigerator requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC – 60Hz electrical ground outlet with a three-prong plug.

Ensure that the wall outlet and circuit are properly grounded by a qualified electrician.

Secure the cord behind the refrigerator to prevent accidental injury.

Always plug the refrigerator into its own individual electrical outlet matching the voltage rating on the refrigerator label to prevent overloading circuits.

Avoid pulling the power cord to unplug the refrigerator; grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

Immediately repair or replace frayed or damaged power cords to prevent electrical hazards.

If an extension cord is necessary, use only a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type refrigerator extension cord with a grounding type plug and outlet. Ensure the electrical rating is 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

The temperature is regulated by the thermostat control knob located inside the refrigerator cabinet. To adjust the temperature, turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise. The markings 1 to 7 and OFF indicate the settings:

Note: Even when set to 1, the temperature will not exceed freezing.

Step 1. Place a carpenter level on top of the product to check if the refrigerator is level from front to back and side to side.

Step 2. Turn the leveling legs to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator, and turn them to the left to raise that side.

Step 3. Continue adjusting the legs until the refrigerator becomes level. This is essential for optimal operation.

Under typical ambient conditions, the refrigerator usually does not require defrosting. However, in colder temperatures or high humidity, frost may accumulate.

Step 1. Set the thermostat dial to OFF. Defrosting should occur within a few hours.

Step 2. Once defrosting is complete, return the thermostat control knob to the desired setting.

Step 3. For faster defrosting, remove all items from inside the cabinet, unplug the refrigerator, and leave the door open.

Never use a knife or any other metal instrument to scrape ice or frost.

Rattling Noises: These may originate from the flow of refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the refrigerator can also contribute to rattling sounds.

Compressor Sounds: The high-efficiency compressor may emit pulsating or high-pitched sounds during operation.

Water Flow: Water running from the evaporator to the water reservoir may result in a splashing sound.

Refrigerant Circulation: At the end of each cycle, you may hear a gurgling sound caused by refrigerant flowing in the refrigerator.

Condenser Fan: You may notice the sound of air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

The beverage can capacity is an approximate maximum when storing traditional 12 oz. cans:

Top shelf area: 24 cans (4 x 6 configuration).

Middle shelves (two levels): 60 cans each (5 x 6 configuration per shelf).

Bottom area: 17 cans (6+5+6 configuration).

Total capacity: 161 standard 12 oz. cans.

Guidelines for loading:

Remove or relocate adjustable shelves to accommodate larger items.

Maintain small gaps between the walls and stored items to facilitate air circulation.

Ensure the internal cabinet fan is not obstructed.

Do not attempt to slide shelves outwards beyond their fixed positions.

Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time to prevent the refrigerator from tilting forward.

Step 1. Turn off the power, unplug the refrigerator, and remove all items including shelves.

Step 2. Wipe the interior with a solution consisting of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of warm water.

Step 3. Clean the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

Step 4. Wipe the exterior cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.

Avoid using steel wool or steel brushes on the stainless steel surface, as these may cause erosion and rusting.

If the refrigerator is unplugged, encounters a power interruption, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the refrigerator. If attempted before this time delay, the refrigerator may not start.

Most power failures are resolved within a few hours and should not significantly affect the temperature if you minimize opening the refrigerator cover.

If the outage is expected to last longer, disconnect the refrigerator to prevent potential hazards.

Position the refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, above 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) and below 90 degrees F (32 degrees C), away from heat-producing appliances and direct sunlight.

Ensure adequate ventilation and never block the air vents.

Keep the door tightly closed and avoid frequent or prolonged opening.

Organize the contents inside to find items quickly.

Avoid overfilling the refrigerator to allow for proper air circulation.
