Electrical Connections
Be sure to check the data plate, located on the liner of the cabinet, for required voltage prior to connecting the unit to power. The
specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.
The standard refrigerator is equipped with an eight (8) foot power cord that requires a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 1 Phase properly grounded
electrical receptacle. The power cord comes with a 3 prong plug for grounding purposes. Any attempt to cut off the grounding spike
or to connect to an ungrounded adapter plug will void the warranty, terminate the manufacturers responsibility and could result in
serious injury.
The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on a circuit and not plugged into an
extension cord.
OPERATION
Initial start up
After satisfying the installation requirements, the refrigerator is ready to start. The Compressor will start when the power cord is
connected to the required power source. If the Compressor does not start when the unit is initially plugged in, check to make sure that
the Temperature Control is not in the off position. Allow the unit to run for two hours before loading it with product. When loading the
unit with product, take care not to block the air flow in the cabinet as this would affect the units performance.
Temperature Control
The Temperature Control is located on the back of the cabinet and is factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of
approximately 38 Deg F. To obtain colder temperatures, press and hold the set button until the set point value flashes. Use the up
or down arrow buttons to change the value and then press the set button again. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to
a control setting adjustment.
Defrost
Your Silver King refrigerator is an automatic defrost unit and no additional plumbing is required. Automatic defrosting is accomplished
when frost buildup on the Evaporator Coil is cleared during Compressor off cycles. Defrost water is collected in a pan located in the
compressor compartment where it is evaporated into the room air. It is important that the unit be installed level to allow proper drainage
of the defrost water.
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation and maximizing the life of
the appliance.
Cabinet Surfaces
The cabinet interior is aluminum and the exterior is stainless steel. These surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a solution of
warm water and mild soap, rinsed and wiped dry with a soft cloth. A good stainless steel cleaner can also be used. Should a surface
become stained, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleanser or scouring pad. Use a soft cleanser and rub with the grain of the
metal to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use chlorinated cleaners. Always rinse well and dry after cleaning.
Condenser
Periodically, dust on the condenser coil must be cleaned. The condenser is located on the rear of the unit. Clean the accumulated
dust/debris from the condenser with a vacuum or brush or chemical cleaning agent (Nu-Calgon 4171-75 or equivalent). This will
need to be done regularly to maintain the compressor warranty!
WARNING: The condenser fins are very sharp, use caution when cleaning the condenser.
Drawer Gasket
The Drawer Gasket will collect dirt and should be wiped clean with a warm, mild soapy water solution to extend its life and assure
maximum cabinet performance and life.
