APPLIANCE USE  
In order to ensure proper temperature,  you need to permit proper airflow in the appliance. Do not block any air 
vents.  If  the  vents  are  blocked,  airflow  will  be  prevented,  and  temperature  and  moisture  problems  may  occur. 
Always position contents to allow some airflow between shelves or baskets.  
Allow  the  appliance  to  cool  at  least  6  to  8  hours  before  adding  contents.  Allow  24  hours  for  temperature  to 
stabilize.  
NOTE: When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the appliance is cold. It may 
take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the appliance door is 
opened. After the appliance is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the appliance at 
the proper temperature.  
The  outside  of  your  appliance  may  feel  warm.  This  is  normal.  The  appliance’s  design  and  main  function  is  to 
remove heat from packages and air space inside the appliance. The heat is transferred to the room air, making 
the outside  of the appliance feel warm. In some  models the condenser  that gets warm  is inside  the  side walls, 
making these walls warm to the touch.  
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (Selected models)  
If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, on some models you can change it. 
Holes  on  the  opposite  side  have  already  been  prepared  in  the  factory.  On  models  with  our  wrapped  stainless 
steel door and 12-inch pro handle (suffix SSTB, SSVH or CSS, or with optional handles “TB” or “SH” ), you must 
order these with either a right hand or left hand door swing in advance. These doors cannot be reversed. Models 
with suffix SSHH, BIFR, BIIF and CSSHH can be reversed.   
TO REVERSE YOUR DOOR  
•  Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the screws that hold the top hinge.  
•  Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door.   
•  Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin.  
•  Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.  
•  Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the original side with the 
decorative caps.  
•  Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock washers or nuts if they were 
included in the original installation.  
•  Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place top hinge pin into door. Insert screws into top 
hinge and tighten.  
If you notice the door is not hanging straight, loosen the top hinges, adjust the door until it is level and tighten 
the screws.
