Cautions
•
Water getting into air inside the refrigerator by opening doors may form a layer of
frost inside, which may weaken the refrigerator. Defrost your refrigerator when
frost reaches .68 inches (2mm).
•
You must manually defrost your refrigerator. Before defrosting, set the
temperature control knob and set it to “0” (where the compressor will stop).
Leave the door open until the ice and frost dissolve. To speed up defrosting, place
a bowl of warm water approx. 120ºF (50ºC) into the evaporator.
•
Do not heat the evaporator directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting
to prevent deforming the inner case.
•
Do not scrape off ice and frost with sharp tools or wooden bars, as not to damage
the inner casing or the evaporator surface.
•
If the power cord is damaged, it must the replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
•
Before you throw away your refrigerator, take off the door but leave the shelves in
place so children may not easily climb inside.
•
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.
Positioning Your Refrigerator
Ventilation
•
The refrigerator needs to be well-ventilated to easily dissipate heat and cause high
refrigerator efficiency and low power consumption.
•
Sufficient ventilation space requires the back of the refrigerator to be at least 4 inches
away from the wall, each side of the refrigerator to be at least 8 inches away from the
wall, and the top to clear at least 12 inches. A clear space should be left 160º for the door
to open.
Power Supply
•
This refrigerator operates with a single phase alternating current power source.
•
If you live in an area where there is a large range of supply voltage (brown outs, etc.), you
may need a voltage regulator.
•
The plug must match the socket with a grounded wire.
Power Cord
•
Do not lengthen or fold the cord into a coil during operation.
•
Due to high temperatures, do not keep the power cord close to the refrigerator
compressor. This could cause deactivation to the insulation or electrical leakage.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
•
Position the refrigerator so the plug is accessible.
WARNING:
•
If the power cord is damaged, it must the replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard. For support, visit
