2.4 Installaon, connued.
c. At the upper le front corner there is a snap fastened safety strap which holds the door closed during
shipment. To open the door, unsnap the safety strap and pull outward on the door. The door has a
magnec door gasket which provides the seal for the refrigerator.
d. Install handle to top of door. With a phillips screwdriver remove
the buon snap from the top of the door. Place the handle on the
door as shown and secure with (2) hex cap screws provided,
using the 5/32” hex key. Secure the buon snap to the top of the
door with the phillips screwdriver. Refer to Figure 2-1.

e. At the lower le front corner, behind the grill, which is held on by 2 screws, you will nd the ther-
mostat. The n plated sensor line aached to the thermostat runs up the back of the refrigerator to the
upper right rear corner. The sensor lies between the rear panel and the insulaon. The dial of the
thermostat has an adjustment range of 1 to 7 (7 is the coldest seng). The seng point of the ther-
mostat dial is determined by what number is visible at the twelve o’clock posion. When the “OFF”
leering is visible on the thermostat dial at the twelve o’clock posion, power to the refrigerator’s
compressor and the condenser fan motor is shut-o and no cooling of the refrigerator or freezer sec-
on will occur. The thermostat posion is pre-set at the factory to a seng of 4, or middle seng. Vary
ing ambient temperature may require re-seng the thermostat dial for your installaon. Depending
on loading condions of your refrigerator, allow 24 hours for new stabilized temperature sengs to oc-
cur with each change to the thermostat dial. To facilitate the inial compartment pull - down to operat-
ing temperature, remove the drip tray (item #3 in Figure 1-1). Replace the drip tray aer approximately
3 hours of operaon.
f. See the label located on the right side of the refrigerator for reference thermostat dial sengs versus
ambient / refrigerator / freezer temperatures in unloaded condions. Actual amounts of commodies
and their inial temperatures and means of usage may require a thermostat seng dierent than
shown on the label to achieve desired refrigerator and freezer temperatures.
g. Before making the power connecon, be sure that the interior of the refrigerator is clean.
h. Connect the appropriate electrical plug into the electrical supply outlet. For an outlet that provides
230 VAC, the refrigerator’s 115 VAC electrical plug must be inserted into the transformer’s electrical
outlet. The 230 VAC electrical plug aached to the power cord coming from the transformer must then
be inserted into the 230 VAC outlet for proper and safe operaon. See g. 1-2. For 115 VAC electrical
outlets, plug the refrigerator’s 115 VAC electrical plug directly into the 115 VAC outlet.
2.5 Operaon and Theory of Operaon. Once prepared as specied above, the refrigerator funcons auto-
macally. The following is a brief explanaon of how the refrigerator works. This explanaon will en-
able you to operate and maintain the refrigerator most eciently.
2.6 Refer to g. 2-2. a funconal diagram of the system, and to gs. 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3, which show the com-
ponents and their locaon in the refrigerator. To follow the explanaon, refer to these gures.
a. The thermostat (located behind the grill at the lower le front of the refrigerator) monitors tem-
peratures inside the refrigerator by way of the evaporator or cold plate temperature. When the sensor
