Be aware of possible safety hazards when you see the safety alert symbol on the
refrigerator and in this manual. A signal word follows the safety alert symbol and identifies
the danger of the hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to fully
know their meanings. They are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause
dangerous personal injury, death, or much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause small
personal injury or much property damage.

Operation
This refrigerator is made for refrigerating purposes and operates on220/240 volts AC
and 12/24 volts DC power supplyieswhen installed as written in this manual.
NOTE: The refrigerator operates automatically on AC or DC power. When both
power sources are supplied to the refrigerator, it defaults to AC. When the
refrigerator is disconnected from the shoreline power (when AC power is
no longer available), the refrigerator switches to DC operation.
CAUTION: Never store combustible materials near the refrigerator. Storing
combustible materials near the refrigerator creates a safety hazard and also
decreases the ventilation of the cooling system which decreases the refrigerator
performance.
Do not touch the evaporator or other metal parts inside the refrigerator cabinet with
wet hands because they can freeze to the refrigerator.
Always disconnect all power sources from the refrigerator when doing routine
maintenance. Have service work done only by a qualified service technician.
The refrigerator temperature is controlled by a thermostat, located on the panel above the
door. A green power light, located on the panel comes on when the refrigerator is “ON”.
Number “1” is the warmest and number “5” is the coldest thermostat position. For
efficient operation, change the thermostat according to the types of food stored and the
ambient temperature.
If you are not going to use the refrigerator for an extended period of time, put the thermo-
stat to the “OFF” position and open the door so the latch pin is in the storage position.
