INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Before using the refrigerator for the first time, remove all of the packing
materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape holding accessories in
place.
2.
The refrigerator should be located on a firm, flat surface that is strong
enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
3.
Choose a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures,
heat sources such as a stove or radiator, or in a moist area. Do not choose a
location where the temperature will go below 55°F as this could cause the
refrigerator to not function properly.
4.
Leave a minimum of ½” between each side of the appliance and the wall. The
top and back of the appliance should have a minimum of 1½” clearance. This
allows for proper air circulation. This appliance is intended to be free-standing
and should not be built-in or placed in a recessed area.
5.
The refrigerator legs must be adjusted during installation in order to function
properly. The leveling legs on the front corners can be adjusted by turning
clockwise to raise the appliance, and counter-clockwise to lower it. Be sure to
have the appliance slope slightly backward to ensure that the door closes
tightly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Allow refrigerator to stand upright for 4 hours before using.
2.
Plug into a grounded outlet or appropriate extension cord (see Important
Grounding Instructions).
3.
The temperature of the refrigerator can be controlled
manually by the control dial. Setting # 1 is the warmest
setting, while setting #7 is the coldest. The first time you
turn the unit on, set the dial on #4 and allow 24 hours
for the refrigerator to reach this temperature. If a colder
or warmer temperature is desired after this period, use
the dial to adjust to the temperature that best meets
your needs. Please note that moving the dial to OFF
stops the cooling but does not turn the power off.
