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 supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115 Volt AC /60Hz 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 overheated. Never unplug the
unit by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Repair or replace immediately 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.
OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Setting the Temperature Control
•
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature
control is located inside on the upper right hand side of the compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6”.
•
The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be
appropriate for home or office use.
•
To turn the appliance completely off, turn the temperature control to ”0” and unplug the unit.
•
General but not exact temperature ranges for the temperature controls are:
Temperature Control
Setting
Temp
Range
0
Off - 55
1
48 – 55
2
45 – 48
3
42 – 45
4
39 – 42
5
35 – 39
6
33 - 35
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.
Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
