This document serves as the Use & Care manual for a Frigidaire 6-can mini fridge, model EFMIS129-ASST_DG. It provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the appliance, aiming to ensure a long and satisfactory relationship between the user and the product.
The Frigidaire 6-can mini fridge is a compact, thermoelectric unit designed for the portable storage of cold drinks and food. Its primary function is to cool items, operating in a "COLD" mode. This mode allows the unit to cool its contents to approximately 20-28°F below the ambient room temperature, making it suitable for keeping beverages and certain food items chilled. The appliance is versatile in its power source, capable of running on a 12 Volt DC system, commonly found in vehicles, or a standard house 120 Volt AC system. This dual power capability enhances its portability and utility, allowing it to be used in various settings, from home kitchens to cars or recreational vehicles.
Before operating the mini fridge, it is crucial to review the installation checklist to ensure proper setup. This includes verifying that the doors are secure and tight, and that the door seals completely to the cabinet on all sides to maintain optimal cooling efficiency. The unit should be level side-to-side, with a slight elevation in the front to aid in door closing. The cabinet must be stable on all corners. Electrically, it's important to confirm that house power is turned on and the mini fridge is properly plugged in. Finally, all shipping materials should be removed before initial use.
Safety is a paramount concern, and the manual outlines several important safety requirements. Users are advised to read all instructions thoroughly before using the product. The mini fridge should not be used near water sources such as bathtubs, washbowls, kitchen sinks, wet basements, or swimming pools. It is recommended to use the product only with a manufacturer-recommended cart or stand. Proper ventilation is essential for good cooling performance, meaning the unit should be located in a position that does not obstruct airflow and away from heat sources like radiators or heat registers. The appliance must be connected to a power supply of the type specified in the operating instructions or marked on the product. For extended periods of disuse, the power-supply cord should be unplugged from the outlet. Care must be taken to prevent objects from falling into or liquids from spilling into the enclosure through openings. Any servicing, especially if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, should be performed by qualified service personnel.
A critical warning regarding child entrapment is highlighted: before disposing of an old mini beverage refrigerator, the doors should be removed. The appliance is not intended for unsupervised use by young children or infirm persons, and young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Several important notices further guide the user. When changing the working mode, the power switch should be in the "OFF" position for at least five minutes. During cooling operation, the unit must be kept in a well-ventilated area, and its ventilation should not be blocked. Direct sunlight should be avoided, and the airflow of the unit should not be disturbed. Water should not be poured directly into the unit, nor should the unit be used near water or in wet weather conditions. Cleaning should be done with a damp cloth, and the unit should never be submerged in water. If the unit is left unused for a long time, it should be placed in a well-ventilated area. Dropping the unit should be avoided, and it must be kept away from fire or other flammable substances. Perishable items like meats, poultry, fish, and dairy products should not be stored in the unit for more than one hour. The use of extension cords with this product is not recommended.
Operating the mini fridge is straightforward. To select the "COLD" mode, the sliding switch should be moved to "COLD," which will activate the cooling function and illuminate a green light. To turn the unit off, the sliding switch should be moved to "OFF."
Maintenance is key to prolonging the life and performance of the mini fridge. It is important to keep cords and cigarette lighter sockets clean, as small tobacco or dirt particles can impair performance. The motor, fan, and control panel vents require periodic cleaning. While the unit is unplugged, the fan blades and motor shaft should be cleaned using a paint brush or other soft-bristled brush to remove accumulated hair, dirt, or dust. For interior cleaning, a warm damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap is sufficient. Harsh or abrasive cleaners should be avoided. If stains or odors persist, a small amount of household bleach or baking soda can be added to the washing solution. After cleaning, the lid should be left open for several hours to allow the interior to thoroughly dry and prevent odors. For long-term storage, placing a small container of baking soda or charcoal inside can help eliminate objectionable odors.
