DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions
to help prevent accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR:
1) Take off the doors and discard separately.
2) Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
REFRIGERANT DISPOSAL (applies only to Compressor Cooling units):
Your old refrigerator may have used a regulated refrigerant in its cooling system.
These refrigerants are believed to harm Stratospheric Ozone. If you are throwing
away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed and recovered
for proper disposal by an EPA-certified technician. If you intentionally release this
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
If the refrigerator door has a lock, please disable.

IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
and use of extension cords
The compact refrigerator must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-
prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
WARNING-Improper use of grounding
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly
grounded and either:
1.
If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-prong grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked electrical rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the rating of the
appliance, or
2.
If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.

SETTING UP THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
UNPACKING
Remove all packing materials and accessories. Examine the compact refrigerator for any
damage such as dents or broken door. Do not install if the refrigerator is damaged.
Do not tilt the compact refrigerator at an angle of more than 45 degrees while
moving it.
NOTE: Allow the compact refrigerator to stand upright for approximately 24
hours before connecting the power source. This will let the compressor settle
from being handled during transportation.
Starting the compact refrigerator too soon and not allowing the compressor
to settle can result in a lack of cooling.
Also before operating, clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft
dry cloth and wipe the interior with a clean moist cloth.
If discarding an old refrigerator, please see “Disposal Instructions” on page 3.
LOCATION OF THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
Find a suitable area for your compact refrigerator. Do not place the refrigerator outside, or any
other place where the refrigerator will be exposed to water, sunlight, or other harsh weather
conditions. The refrigerator must not be placed in environments where the ambient
temperature drops below 10°C (50°F) degrees because it will not run often enough to
maintain the desired temperatures.

For the compact refrigerator to function properly, it is
important to have a clearance of at least 15 cm (6”
inches) from the back of the compact refrigerator to
the surface next to it. A clearance of at least 10 cm
(4” inches) is required from each side of the compact
refrigerator to the surface next to it.

ADJUSTABLE LEG
ADJUSTING THE LEGS OF THE REFRIGERATOR
The compact refrigerator has adjustable legs on the front of
the unit. These legs can be used to adjust the height and
stabilize the unit. To lengthen the leg, turn the leg counter-
clockwise and to shorten the leg, turn clockwise.

OPERATING THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
TURNING ON THE POWER
Plug the compact refrigerator into a suitable 120V three prong power outlet. The refrigerator
will begin operating, even if the temperature adjuster is set in the off (“O”) position. (See
“Important Grounding Instructions” on page 4)
STARTING
After the compact refrigerator is plugged into the proper outlet, turn the internal temperature
adjuster dial to the desired setting and close the door. Let the refrigerator cool for 24 hours
before storing food.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE AND STORING FOOD
THERMOSTAT
The internal temperature of the compact refrigerator is controlled
by the temperature adjuster located in the upper right hand
corner inside the refrigerator.
Turn the temperature adjustor clockwise to set the desired
temperature. The “1” position sets the warmest temperature and
“6” position sets the coldest temperature.
Note: By setting the temperature to the “5” or “6”
position, it may cause freezing depending on the ambient
temperature. The “6” position should be used primarily
for making ice.
ICE TRAY AND FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The ice tray compartment of the compact refrigerator is for making ice cubes with the
provided ice cube tray. The compartment is located directly under the freezer compartment.
Simply pull out the shelf and use the ice tray for making ice cubes.
The freezer compartment is for short-term storage (3-4 days at the most) for some store
bought frozen foods. Make sure the frozen products are in contact with the walls of the
freezer compartment. This allows for maximum freezing capabilities.
When making ice cubes or storing frozen food, turn the temperature adjuster to the “5” or
“6” position, but please be aware that, by doing so, the refrigerator compartment will get
colder.
7
CHANGING THE REVERSIBLE DOOR
The refrigerator has been built with the door
hinges on the right.
If you wish to change the opening direction,
follow these instructions:
NOTE: UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR FROM
THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET PRIOR TO
CHANGING THE REVERSIBLE DOOR.
1. Empty everything in the refrigerator, including
shelves and food.
2. First remove the upper and lower hinge covers
on the left and right side by hand.
3. Remove the six screws (using a Phillips
screwdriver) that are on the top and bottom of
the cabinet.
4. Remove the upper and lower hinges and lift
the door and place it on a padded surface to
prevent scratches.
4A. All parts removed must be
retained to reinstall the door.
5. Transfer the hinges and screws to the left,
place the upper hinge pin into the upper hole of
the door, then tighten the three screws on the
top, then the other three on the bottom. Put the
flat hinge cover over the hinge holes on the left.
6. Open the door carefully and slowly to make
sure the door is correctly attached and closing
properly.

CARE AND CLEANING
TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR OF THE
COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
Always unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Do not use a hard brush or sponge. Use light
soapy water with a soft cloth. To dry, use a dry soft cloth or towel.
To prevent odors from forming in the refrigerator, place an opened box of baking soda
inside. Replace the box every three months.
DEFROSTING THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
Unplug the refrigerator. Once the frost melts, carefully wipe down the outside or inside of
the refrigerator. When dry, plug back in the refrigerator.
NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEATER OR ANY SHARP UNTENSIL TO REMOVE FROST.
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, do not open the refrigerator door frequently. A slight and
gradual increase in temperature could have an effect on the preservation of food.
KEEPING THE INTERIOR OF THE REFRIGERATOR VENTILATED
In order to keep the refrigerator proper ventilated and cool, here are some helpful hints to
follow:
-Do not overload your refrigerator. If too many goods are stored in the refrigerator, the
interior circulation could be obstructed.
-Do not open the door too frequently or keep the door open for long periods. This will cause
the internal temperature to increase.
-Make sure that all sides of the refrigerator are properly ventilated. (see installation
instructions on page 6).
PREPARING THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR FOR VACATION
Many foods, such as dairy products, can spoil even when properly refrigerated. For long
vacations or absences, remove all food from the refrigerator and unplug the power supply.
Move the temperature adjuster to the lowest temperature setting (the “O” position) and clean
the interior.
TRANSPORTING THE COMPACT REFRIGERATOR
For transporting the compact refrigerator, secure all loose items, such as shelves and ice trays
by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
NOTE: BE SURE THE REFRIGERATOR STAYS IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION DURING
TRANSPORTATION.
