almost any place you desire. Please make sure to follow the instructions for clearance, water and  
electrical requirements.  
Clearance and Environment Requirements  
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below 90°F. Operation  
outside these temperatures may result in lowered production or may cause other adverse  
effects.  
This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray  
or drips. The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat sources.  
The unit should be located on a firm and level surface that is able to support the refrigerator’s  
total weight with water.  
There must be at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides of the unit for proper air  
circulation.  
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side  
to allow for the door to swing open.  
Electrical Requirements  
Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is recommended that a separate  
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch  
or pull chain.  
The refrigerator is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize  
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall

receptacle providing 110-120V, 60Hz, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and  
local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility  
of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a certified electrician.  
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the refrigerator  
control to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished,  
connect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control to the desired setting.  
OPERATION  
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can  
result in death, explosion, fine or burns.  
Before using your refrigerator, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly. After you remove all of  
the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. To obtain the best possible  
results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly.  
Setting the Thermostat control  
The thermostat knob controls the internal  
temperature. The higher the number setting,  
the longer the compressor will run to keep the  
temperature colder. The temperature controls  
for the refrigerator and freezer are located at  
the top shelf of the refrigerating compartment.  
Set your refrigerator’s thermostat control at 3  
on its first run. Give your refrigerator time to  
cool down completely. It is best to wait for 24  
hours before adding food. When the  
thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the  
refrigerator stops running.  
Changing the Light Bulbs  
To change the light bulb, make sure to unplug refrigerator or disconnect unit from power supply before  
removing the bulb. Replace the bulb with a 10-watt appliance bulb. Please note that not all bulbs will fit  
your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. Plug in the  
refrigerator or reconnect refrigerator to power supply after bulb replacement.  
Power Interruptions  
If the electricity goes off for a short period, keep both doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen. If  
the power will be out for a longer period of time, remove food from the freezer and store it in a frozen  
food locker.

food odor and taste transfer throughout refrigerator

Leftovers cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight-seal  
lid can also be used.  
Frozen Food Storage  
The freezer compartment is designed for storing frozen food and for freezing food at home. Successful  
freezing depends on the correct packaging. When you close and seal the package you must not allow  
air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the  
refrigerator, and will also cause frozen food to dry out.  
Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.  
For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer and refrigerator compartment for air to  
circulate around the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

NormalSounds  
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are  
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.  
The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.  
Rattling noises may be produced from the flow of the refrigerant.  
The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.  
The compressor may also produce a low tone humming sound.  
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing.  
You may hear fan noise and air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.  
Dry Erase Door Panel Feature  
Featuring a dry-erase finish on the door panel, the Whynter MRF-310DB refrigerator can be used to  
record messages, manage schedules, or draw pictures right on the refrigerator. Dry-erase markers  
make sketches easy to erase, wiping away concerns that temporary messages and artwork will become  
permanent.  
Use only dry erase markers pens that are made specifically for dry erase panels. The Whynter  
MRF-310DB refrigerator comes with one (1) neon blue dry erase marker.  
Clean the surface regularly with a damp cloth to ensure the condition of the panel is maintained.  
If you accidentally use a permanent ink marker or pen on the surface of your refrigerator door,  
you can use the ink from the dry erase marker as a solvent. Scribble over the permanent mark  
with the dry erase marker and wipe away with a paper towel. You may have to do this more than  
one to clean it off entirely.  
Never use ball point pens, pencils or sharp, metal-end hard objects to write on the dry erase

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
The refrigerator must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time

which can result in the machine breaking or becoming inoperable.  
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.  
Never use a solvent-based cleaning agent. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or  
damage and discolor the interior.  
ALWAYS unplug the unit before cleaning the exterior and interior.  
Routine maintenance  
1. Using a 10:1 ratio of water to either white vinegar or lemon juice, scrub the interior of the refrigerator  
with the solution.  
2. Remove the solution from the refrigerator by wiping down the refrigerator’s interior with hot water.  
3. Leave the door open for a few minutes to have the interior of the unit air dried
