NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without notice.

To save energy and maintain optimum performance:

Your refrigerator may be installed as a free-standing unit or built into an enclosure

or below a countertop.

When positioning this unit: If used freestanding allow at least 2 inches of clearance

on top, at the sides and in the rear for sufficient airflow. If unit is built in, allow 2”

of air space between the rear of the unit and the wall and leave at least 1/8” on

both sides and 1/16” at the top. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not

blocked.

Technical Information

Before Using Your Appliance:



Remove the exterior and interior packing.



Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand for approximately 2

hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from

handling during transportation.



Remove the shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with

lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the Refrigerator:



Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support it when the appliance is

fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.



Your appliance can be installed either free-standing, recessed or built into an

enclosure. When installing as a free-standing unit, allow at least 2” (51mm) of

space at the sides, top and rear of the unit to allow for proper air circulation to cool

the compressor and condenser. Even when built in, the unit requires at least 2” of

clearance at the back, 1/8” (3mm) at both sides and 1/16” (1.6mm) at the top.

Take care that the air vents at the front of the appliance are never covered or

blocked in any way.



This appliance is supplied with spacers that have to be mounted onto the

condenser tube at the back to make sure there is sufficient clearance between the

appliance and the wall.



Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater,

radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may

increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also

affect the unit's performance.



Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost

to form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the

interior.



Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Any

questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a

certified electrician or authorized service center.

Installation Instructions

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 a standard three-prong wall outlet

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

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left

exposed or dangling.

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 prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a

fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or

replace immediately any power cord that has 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:

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have

a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power

cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Temperature Control:



Your appliance’s evaporator system is out of sight behind the interior rear wall.



The interior temperature is controlled with a thermostat knob

located inside the unit, towards the upper right-hand corner.

Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward

the higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher settings

on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures

(colder) in the refrigerator.



On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside

the cabinet may drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when

required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we

recommend a medium setting.



Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the refrigerator

so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on ambient

conditions.



In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is

switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light still works).



The temperature inside the refrigerator also depends on how often you open the

door.



In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the

bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not

to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some

water bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.

NOTES:

1. The glass shelves are adjustable. These shelves stop short an inch before the

back wall, which is essential for air flow and the proper operation of the automatic

defrost system. Do not block these gaps.

2. Interior lighting is controlled by a switch that is activated by the opening and

closing of the refrigerator door.

3. If the refrigerator is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to

5 minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the

unit will not start.

Defrosting Your Appliance:

This appliance operates with an automatic defrost system, so the refrigerator defrosts

itself. While the compressor is operating, ice will build up along the cold rear wall (the

evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s off-cycle, ice will melt,

drip down, collect in the trough at the bottom and drain through a small hole into a

tray above the compressor; where the compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If

you notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try adjusting the thermostat to a

slightly warmer setting. Be sure that the door gasket is sealing well and that there is

no obstruction of the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Cleaning Your Appliance:

Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0) and remove all contents,

including shelves and crisper.

Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe

dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Wash the shelves and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry

thoroughly.

Wash the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild liquid detergent.

Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the

temperature control or any electrical parts.

From time to time, wipe the condenser on the back wall with a soft

non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.

After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power

supply, reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance

could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure:

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the

temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is

opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take

the proper steps to protect your chilled items.

Vacation Time:

During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the

door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.

Moving Your Appliance:

1. Remove the contents.

2. Securely tape down all shelving inside the unit.

3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.

4. Tape the door shut.

5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

Energy-Saving Tips:



The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-

producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.



Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.

Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.



Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air

circulation behind and at the front of the appliance).



Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depending

on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).



Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient

temperature.

Care and Maintenance

When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases

result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.



Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not set to

the STOP (0) position.

The compressor is running continuously.



The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.



The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty or

damaged).



The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.



The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.



There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser.

(Assure there is adequate air circulation behind and in front of the appliance

and wipe the dust from the condenser.)

Noise



Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with a

compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on

where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.





During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when

the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal

condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.





After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant

flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually the

noise is reduced.





Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This

noise is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit

should be placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the

wall or cabinets standing next to it.)
