Page 9: Types Of Installation
TYPES OF INSTALLATION: This outdoor refrigerator has been designed for free‐standing or built‐in installation. The refrigerator must be protected from rain, snow, etc. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service. Free‐standing Installation A free‐standing installation will allow you to install the outdoor refrigerator in almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the refrigerator. Built‐in Installation A recessed installation will allow you to install the outdoor refrigerator under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the clearance space requirements around the refrigerator are followed. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed: 1. Place the outdoor refrigerator in front of the installation location. 2. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. 3. If the electrical outlet for the refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator. 4. Push the outdoor refrigerator into position. 5. Warning: DO NOT install the outdoor refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door. Installation Clearance Requirements: When installing the outdoor refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. • To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow between 2 ‐ 3 inches of clearance at the back as shown in the diagram. • The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary. • A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. ... -
Page 10: Leveling
LEVELING: The outdoor refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the outdoor refrigerator becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD: For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3‐prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3‐ pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3‐prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. Electrical Shock Hazard! Plug into a grounded 3‐prong outlet. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. DO NOT use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury. Before you move your outdoor refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. It is recommended that a ... -

Page 13: Internal Light
Warning: Allow at least 24 hours for your outdoor refrigerator to run before use to allow the temperature to acclimate. Whether your outdoor refrigerator can reach the actual set temperature depends on the ambient environmental conditions. Internal Light This outdoor refrigerator is equipped with top and side internal lights that can be set to a blue or white color. The internal lights will illuminate when the door is opened and turn off when the door is closed. Note: Every unit is run tested at the factory. Because of this, your model may default to either a blue or white light setting out of the box. The automatic light feature is triggered by a sensor located on the front vent. This sensor allows the outdoor refrigerator to recognize when the door is open or closed. Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build‐up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. ... -
