IMPORTANT SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.

When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety

precautions, including the following:

1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions

in the installation section.

3. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4. Repair or replace all electric service cords that have become frayed or

otherwise damaged immediately. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug, or

the connector end.

5. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician perform the service.

6. Do not use any electrical device or sharp instrument in defrosting

your refrigerator.

7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you

remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

8. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces

in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The

United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin

No. 69 reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

been thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are cold—

below 40° F.”

“… Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or

off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice

cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”

“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the quality of foods,

particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality

of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen

food as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you

can.”

10. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive

fumes.

English

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

4

Note: Refrigerator is for freestanding purpose.

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive

tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before

powering on the refrigerator.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was

designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air

circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the

refrigerator:

Sides……………3/4 "(19mm)

Top....................1" (25mm)

Back..................1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirements

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with

proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three-plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order

to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it

provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in

shock hazard.

English

5

Use of Extension Cord

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire

extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will

accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to, or

greater than, the electrical rating of the appliance.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated,

e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature

settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away

from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking

appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs

located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY LINE

Note: It is consumer's responsibility, if not

using a licensed plumber, to follow

your local plumbing codes.

Install the “shut off” valve on the water pipe.

1. Turn off the main water supply pipe. Turn on the

nearest tap until the water pipe is cleaned

completely.

2. Choose the position of the valve. Choose a

position for the valve that is easy to install and

reach. It is recommended to install the valve on the

side of a vertical water pipe. It is better to connect

the valve to a level water pipe on the upside of the

water pipe, not the downside, so the sediment may

flow out from the water pipe.

3. Drilling the “shut off” valve hole: Drill a 1/8”

diameter hole on the water pipe using a sharp drill.

Clean off burrs left on the water pipe by the drill.

Use caution to prevent any water flowing into

the drill.

4. Tightening the “shut off” valve: Tighten the valve

on the cold water pipe using a pipe nip. Follow

the rules specified in the 248CMR of Massachusetts

Federal Piping Standard.

Saddle-backed valves are unlawful in

Massachusetts and forbidden. Please consult a

plumber if you are unsure of the correct method to

install the valve.

5. Tightening the pipe tip: Tighten the bolts of the

pipe tip until the closing circle begins to expand.

Don’t let the bolts of the pipe tip be too tight,

otherwise the water pipe is pressed flat and

will cause a leak.

6. Positioning the water line to the refrigerator:

Position the water line between the cold water pipe

and the refrigerator. Drill a hole in the wall or on

the floor that is near the wall and the location for

the fridge. Add extra length for the water supply

line, about 8 feet (2.4 meters) and make three

circles with the diameter of each circle about 1

foot, so there is extra line to move the fridge in and

out for cleaning (unit away from the wall).

English

10

7. Connecting the water line to the “shut off” valve:

Put the tightened nut over the copper or plastic water line,

then the compression fitting, and insert the copper (or

plastic) end inside the “shut off” valve. Make sure the

pipe end sits all the way inside the valve. Tighten

(but don’t over-tighten) the nut. Follow the descriptions

specified in 248CMR of Massachusetts Federal Piping

Standard. Saddle-backed valve is unlawful in

Massachusetts and is forbidden. Please consult a

licensed plumber if you are unsure of the assembly.

8. Clear the water line supply:

Turn on the main water supply until the water in the pipe

becomes clear and clean. Turn off the water valve after

having used water for about 30 seconds – 1 minute.

9. Connect the water supply line to the refrigerator.

Note: Before connecting the water line to the refrigerator, make sure the water

line is not draped over the power cord to the refrigerator or power outlet.

(1) Tighten the water supply line at the fridge water

valve by sliding the nut over the water line end.

(2) Then, as shown in the figure, connect the end

side of the water supply line to the water valve;

tighten the water supply line nut with a crescent

wrench.

Note: Please make sure that the 1/4" water tube is fully inserted

into the water valve prior to tightening. Open the water

supply valve and check for leaks, before positioning the

unit in place.

PREPARING BEFORE USE

1. Remove all packaging material.

2. Check to make sure all parts and materials are available in the fridge.

Consult the seller for help if you find parts are missing.

3. Place the refrigerator in a good location (See Install Limitations on page 5).

4. Toe grille installation: Open the freezer drawer and remove the basket inside.

Install toe grille with screws from bag.

5. For the convenience of record keeping, the model and serial number,

purchase date, and receipt should be copied and taped to this manual for

safekeeping.

6. It is recommended to clean the refrigerator before use. Before putting food in

the refrigerator, please clean the inside and outside with water and diluted

baking soda. Dip clean cloth in gallon of water and spoonful of baking soda.

7. Position the fridge then plug it in. After the refrigerator is placed on a flat

surface and cleaned, turn on the power then let it run a few hours, then begin

loading it with food.

Initial Usage

1. Plug in the power cord.

2. Change the settings to the temperature desired.

3. Putting the food into the refrigerator: The refrigerator will be cooled completely

after a period of a few hours. After that, frozen and fresh foods can be put

into the refrigerator for normal use.

When changing internal temperatures, a new balance temperature will occur

after a period of time. The length of this period of time depends on the degree of

the temperature change, the ambient temperature, the frequency of door

openings, and the amount of stored food in the fridge.
