OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT: Before connecting your refrigerator to the power source, let the unit stand upright
for 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.

during transportation.
Controls
The refrigerator has a rotary temperature control knob (thermostat) inside the unit featuring
three primary settings (OFF-COLD-COLDEST), in order of increasing coldness. The refrigerator
also has a heater inside the cabinet, and is designed for outdoor use.
NOTE: To prevent excessive strain on the compressor, do not leave the unit at the COLDEST
setting for more than an hour at a time.

NOTE: To prevent excessive strain on the compressor, do not leave the unit at the COLDEST
setting for more than an hour at a time.
Turning the Refrigerator On
Turn the temperature control knob (thermostat) clockwise past the OFF setting.
NOTE: If the refrigerator is unplugged or the power is cut off, allow 8 minutes before restarting
or plugging it back in. The unit will not operate properly in less than 8 minutes.

Setting the Temperature
Adjusting the thermostat clockwise (toward the COLDEST setting) will result in the compressor
running for a longer time to lower the temperature inside the refrigerator.
running for a longer time to lower the temperature inside the refrigerator.
Initially, set the thermostat to the midpoint between the COLD and COLDEST settings. The
compressor will run continuously for a few hours until the internal temperature stabilizes. The
compressor will then run normally, turning on and off periodically.

• Ambient temperature above 40°F: Turn the thermostat to the range between COLD
and COLDEST to cool foods.
• Ambient temperature below 40°F: Turn the thermostat counter-clockwise, first to the
COLD setting and continue to the OFF setting. The compressor will stop working and the
heater will turn on automatically to maintain the temperature at a suitable level.

• Ambient temperature below 25°F: Do not use the unit to store anything.
When operating the unit for the first time, allow the internal temperature to stabilize and the
compressor to run normally before putting food inside the refrigerator.
NOTE: As cold air falls and warm air rises, there will be a slight temperature variation from the
bottom of the unit to the top. The temperature at the bottom of the refrigerator will always be
slightly colder.

Shelving
The wire racks in the refrigerator are chrome-plated to prevent rust. The unit has 3 adjustable
chrome-plated flat wire shelves and a wire basket to hold cans and bottles. These racks are
removable and reversible. To remove a rack, remove any cans or bottles from the rack and pull
it out until it stops. Then lift up the front of the rack and remove it from the unit.
