IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES These warnings are provided in the interest of your safety. Please ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this fridge. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about any of these meanings or warnings, contact your local product dealer or Unique Appliances for assistance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES CHILD SAFETY: Do not allow children to play in, on or around the fridge. It is not a toy. THERE IS A DANGER OF SUFFOCATION IF A CHILD BECOMES TRAPPED INSIDE. When the appliance is not in use, secure or remove the doors to prevent children from playing inside the cabinets. DANGER • Risk of child entrapment. Before throwing away an old appliance: • Remove the door or lid. • Leave shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: After transit where the fridge has been on its side or back, ensure that the fridge is in a level, upright position for 12 hours before connecting the appliance to a power source, this will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. UNPACKING AND CLEANING Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING • Before cleaning your appliance always disconnect it from the electrical power supply. • Allow inside of fridge/freezer to fully thaw, then wash the inside and outside of the appliance with lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or chemical cleaning agents should not be used under any circumstances.
OPERATION STARTING THE FRIDGE After the fridge has been properly connected to a power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 4 hours prior to adding foodstuff. TEMPERATURE CONTROL The temperature within the fridge and freezer compartments is controlled by the thermostat situated on the inside ceiling of the fridge compartment. • The larger numbers indicate the coldest setting.
OPERATION OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR The doors are fitted with uniform sealing strips to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the fridge and freezer compartments. Be sure that the doors and door seals are free from obstructions and form a complete seal around the rim of the fridge/freezer cabinets. Over-stuffing and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will prevent a good seal. It might be hard to open the door immediately after the door is closed.
DEFROSTING IMPORTANT: Before cleaning or repositioning the fridge, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electrical power supply. DEFROSTING THE UNIT NOTE: Unique Appliance’s fridges are some of the most efficient refrigeration products available in the market today. In order for our fridges to do that they do not have an “Auto Defrost” option to further aid in their ability to be so energy efficient.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INTERNAL CLEANING Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is recommended. Wash with a mixture of two tablespoons (30ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS • Do not install the fridge close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight. • Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor housing cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3” or 7.5 cm) • Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or containers.
