Where to Place Your MicroFridge® with Safe Plug®
1. Select a location with a strong, level floor. If the
floor is not quite level, adjust the height of the front
legs accordingly.
2. Allow four inches of space between the refrigerator’s
back and the wall, one inch above the refrigerator
and one inch on the side.
3. Avoid any direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight
may affect the enamel coating. Heat sources
nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
4. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the
air will cause frost to form very quickly on the
evaporator and the refrigerator will have to be
defrosted more frequently.
5. Your refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug
and is grounded to eliminate electrical hazards. In order to make it more
effective, it must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Plug your refrigerator in the back of the microwave.
Test Run Your Refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator, clean it and test run it to see if it is operating
properly. If it is not, then check your electrical source. If you cannot locate the
source of the problem, contact your dealer.
1. Set the temperature control knob to the “OFF” position and then plug the AC
cord into an electrical outlet of 115 volt, 60Hz. The compressor motor should
not run.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the “MAX” position and let the
refrigerator operate for 20 minutes. The freezer should get slightly frosted
and the motor should run smoothly with a soft hum.
3. Rotate the temperature control knob counter-clockwise toward the “MIN”
position. Before the pointer of the temperature control knob reaches the
“MIN”
position, the compressor motor should turn off.
Sound of Flowing Is Noticeable
This sound is caused by the refrigerant flowing into the refrigerating device. It
does not denote a malfunction.
How to Remove Ice Cubes from the Tray
The ice cube tray is flexible. Twist the tray to remove the
ice cubes. If the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the surface,
do not use a knife or other metal instrument to remove it
because this may damage the surface.
Temperature Control
You can Control the temperature inside your refrigerator by turning the temperature
control dial. Higher numbers mean greater cooling power, smaller numbers mean less
cooling power.
Refrigerator
Set the temperature control dial to
3
for optimum
refrigeration effects under normal conditions. Set the
temperature control dial to
MAX
only when the rapid
refrigeration in your refrigerator is necessary. Be sure
to set it back to
3
later on.
Freezer
For ordinary use, set the temperature control in
the “MED” position. For rapid freezing of
foodstuffs or to make ice cubes in a hurry, set the
knob to the “COLD” position. Do not forget to set
the temperature control back to “MED” once the
rapid freezing process has been completed.
Important
−
Do not operate your refrigerator for more than six hours at a stretch with the
temperature control dial set to
5
or
MAX
. At this setting, the compressor
will run continuously. Consequently, foodstuffs stored in the refrigerator
compartment will be frozen and frost will form on the cooling (evaporator)
unit.
−
At the control dial setting of
MIN
,
the freezer compartment temperature will
not remain at a sufficiently low level for ice cream and frozen foods.
Usually the cold control knob should be set at middle position.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your refrigerator does not require any maintenance.
Turn off your refrigerator and remove all food, shelves, trays, etc. Wash
the interior liner with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda and a
quart of warm water. Then, rinse and wipe it out. Do not use soaps,
detergents, scouring powders, spray cleaners or the like for cleaning the
interior liner. It may cause odors in the refrigerator compartment.
Wash the ice cube trays, drip tray and shelves in a mild detergent solution
and dry with a soft cloth.
Wipe the exterior surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water
and dry it with a soft cloth. Normal appliance spray cleaners may be used
for the exterior only.
Use only mild soap and water to clean the door gasket.
Never use acid, chemical thinners, gasoline, benzene or the like to clean
any part of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene may deform or
damage the plastic parts.
Cleaning the Evaporating Tray
Since dust accumulated on the evaporating tray
will decrease the evaporation efficiency, remove
the tray to clean.
The evaporating tray is set on refrigerator back.
To remove, pull it away from the unit. After
cleaning make sure to put the tray securely back
in place otherwise defrosted water may spill or
the evaporation process maybe hindered.
Hot-Line
With the freezer-refrigerator in operation, it is possible that the
cabinet will feel warm at the front edges. This does not
indicate trouble. It is attributable to the hot gas line design.
This prevents moisture from accumulating and has nothing to
do with the storage temperature inside.
ATTENTION
If the unit is turned off or unplugged.,
YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES BEFORE
RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT.
The unit will not start if you attempt to restart it in
less than three (3) minutes.
Changing Door Hinge Location
The door of the refrigerator can be hinged on either side
so that the direction they open in can be chosen to suit
the place of installation. Refer to the disassembly
diagram and change the door hinges according to the
following steps:
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws.
The freezer door can now be removed.
3. Remove the middle hexagonal head screws. The
refrigerator door can now be removed.
4. Remove the hinge side leg, attach it to the leg hole
on the opposite side.
5. Remove the other leg, attach it to the leg hole on the
opposite side.
6. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other
side of the cabinet.
7. Remove the upper hinge plug buttons and insert
them in the holes from which the screws were
removed in Step 2.
8. Remove the middle hinge plastic cover and remount it to cover the holes from which the screws
were removed in Step 3.
9. Remove the plug button from each door using a screwdriver and insert in the hole on the
opposite side of each door.
10. Attach the refrigerator door to the bottom hinge.
11. Rotate the middle hinge 180 degrees. Attach it
to the refrigerator door and secure it with a
screw. (Do not tighten the screw completely.)
12. Attach the upper hinge to the freezer door. Attach
the freezer to the middle hinge and use the screw
to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten the
screw completely.)
13. The direction in which the doors open has now
been changed; however, the following points
should be checked:
A) Make sure both doors are on straight.
B) Make sure that there is no space between the door
gasket and the refrigerator unit itself when the doors
are closed.
C) Make sure that the gasket on the hinged side is not
caught between the door and the unit when the door is
opened or closed. (If the door is forced closed when
the gasket is caught, the gasket may be damaged.)
14. After making sure that the doors are installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinges.
If they are not tightened, the doors may slip out of
position or there may be an opening between the
doors and the cabinet.
15. For models with senior living handles, remove the
screws holding the handle on the door. Remove
plastic pins from the other side of the door and
insert them into the holes where the screws were
removed. Re-install the handle using the same
screws that were removed from the door handles.
WARNING
:
Do not route high-voltage electrical cords
underneath the hinge clip. Only use the clip
to cover low-voltage electrical cords.
