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 50 to 100°F (10 to 38°C).

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, 3334 " (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ∼) and the maximum, 3434 " (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

Front Grille

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).

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

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 and 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 contaminates. 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.

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before You Call for Service

If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual first. If the problem persists, check the trouble-shooting 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.

WARNING

Electrocution Hazard

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the appliance until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Turning the appliance control "OFF" does not remove electrical power from the unit's wiring.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

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.
