WARNING

WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
- Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 115^ (13 to 46^ ).

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

Figure 2

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 3314 (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ) and the maximum, 3414 (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ).

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

CAUTION

FrontGrille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Lynx Grills does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. They can be hazardous and can degrade product performance.
• This appliance should not, under any circumstances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
• Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord. (See Figure 3).
• Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 4).
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.

Electrical Connection

A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances (see Figure 6). If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed.

Figure 6

NOTE

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI's are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY MODEL LM24RFEFC WITH OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER KIT

NOTE

An optional ice-maker kit (part number S42418151) is available for model LM24REFC which includes all of the necessary parts for installation. The kit can be obtained from Lynx Grills customer service by calling (888)-289-5969.

Water Supply

CAUTION

Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance.

Use 14 "copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Bend the 14 "copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length and coil it behind the unit to form a "service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.

A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop reducing the water supply to the unit.

Connect the copper tubing water supply to the brass union with the compression nut fitting provided. (See Figure 7).

Water pressure must be at a minimum of 20 psi for proper operation and a maximum of 120 psi.

Make certain all water connections are watertight after installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is set in position.

NOTE

• Do not use any thread sealers on these water line fittings.
• Reverse osmosis, softened water, and de-ionized water are not recommended as they will adversely affect the quality of the ice.

OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER OPERATION

CAUTION

The water supply to the ice-maker must be turned on prior to turning the ice-maker on. Failure to do so will cause rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.

Ice-maker operation

• The unit must be installed level for proper ice-maker operation.
• The shutoff arm wire must be down in its lowest position for the ice-maker to operate. (See Figure 8).
• When the freezer section and ice-maker unit has sufficiently cooled, the ice-maker will harvest ice cubes automatically.
• When the ice bucket is full, the ice-maker will automatically shut off.
• You may manually stop the ice-maker by raising the shut off arm to the locking position at the up most position. (See Figure 8).

NOTE

It is recommended the ice-maker is shut off when removing the bucket, or ice may be dispensed onto the freezer compartment floor.

If the ice is not used regularly, it will clump together with time. For best ice results, discard ice in the bin as required and allow the ice-maker to make a new fresh batch of ice. Shut-off the ice-maker by raising the shut-off arm before removing the bucket.

STARTING YOUR APPLIANCE

Starting your appliance

Plug the appliance power cord into a 115 volt wall outlet. Your appliance is shipped from the factory in the "On" position and will begin start-up of cooling as soon as power is supplied. If the appliance does not start, confirm that the wall outlet has power, and that the control is in the "On" position, (See "Turning your appliance On and Off" below).

The control display is covered with a clear plastic film. This film may be removed by carefully lifting the film at a corner.

On initial power up, the control display will indicate a "Power Failure" alarm. This is a normal condition as the appliance was powered-up at the factory for quality inspection and then removed from power. A momentary press of the "On/Off" keypad will reset this alarm condition. (See Alarms section on page 12).

NOTE

Your product has an automatic defrost feature that utilizes an electric heater element. Periodically during defrost you may observe the following:

Water dripping and running sounds as a result of the frost melt
- Sizzling and popping sounds from water dripping on the heater element
- A faint reddish glow in the freezer compartment from the electric heater element

These are all "normal" operating characteristics related to refrigeration product incorporating automatic defrost. They do not represent any product fault or safety issue.

Using your electronic control

Sleep mode

If no keystads are pressed for 60 seconds, the display will enter sleep mode to conserve power. The control panel will go dark with the exception of the system status "OK" indicator which will remain enabled. Alarm conditions will wake the display, (see alarms on page 12).

When making temperature set-point changes, it may take up to 24-hours for the stored contents to stabilize at your new set-point temperature.

Factors that affect the storage compartment stabilized temperature:

Changes to temperature setting.
- Room temperature changes.
- Temperature of stored contents.

• Loading warm contents.
• Cold content load will delay the change to a warmer set-point temperature.
• Warm content load will delay the change to a colder set-point temperature.

Usage, (number and duration of the door openings).
- Installation of the appliance in direct sunlight or next to a heat source.

Energy saving tips

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance beneath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.

Start-Up After Long-Term Storage

1. If stored outside, it is recommended that the unit again be thoroughly inspected per the storage instructions above to address any dirt or debris from the weather and/or animals/insects.
2. Connect the unit to electrical power and the water supply.

To reconnect the water outlet line: Simply insert the plastic tubing into the white collar and push until it stops (about 12 , 12 mm, of water line will enter the valve).

1. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
2. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
3. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
4. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
5. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
6. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
7. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE OBTAINING SERVICE

Background

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.

Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that provides an invisible protective film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide film on the surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

Care & Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).

It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminants. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.

Typically the most effective and efficient means for routine cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Although some products are called "stainless steel cleaners," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide film), and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the finish.

NOTE

Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.

Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Before You Call for Service

If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual first. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required to contact your dealer or a qualified service technician.

CAUTION

In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call a qualified service technician immediately. It is possible that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and could result in water damage to your home. The end-user will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately managing the excess water run-off.

NOTE

Your product has an automatic defrost feature that utilizes an electric heater element. Periodically during defrost you may observe the following:

Water dripping and running sounds as a result of the frost melt.
- Sizzling and popping sounds from water dripping on the heater element.
- A faint reddish glow in the freezer compartment from the electric heater element.

These are all "normal" operating characteristics related to refrigeration product incorporating automatic defrost. They do not represent any product fault or safety issue.
