Please read and keep these instructions handy. They contain a lot of important information about your Super Smart Fridge. From setting it up to how to take care of it, this booklet will help you learn to use your fridge properly so that you can enjoy it with friends and family for years to come.

Tips & tricks for using your new favorite fridge

  1. Don’t plug your fridge in for 24 hours. It needs time to settle. (Good things come to those who wait!)
  2. In case you haven’t found them yet, the legs are in the trays. Take them out, then place the recyclable foam on the floor behind the fridge like a pillow, then put the fridge on its back on top of the foam to screw them in.
  3. Download the app, Rocco Fridge, from the Apple App Store. It’s not yet available for Android — coming soon. You’ll be able to see inside your fridge from your phone so you know if you’ve run out of your favorite drink when you’re at the grocery store.
  4. You can also control the temperature and set the cool down mode straight from the app, no matter where you are. There are multiple cool down modes depending on how fast you want your drinks chilled and how quiet you want your fridge to be.
  5. Move ALL of your drinks out of your kitchen fridge and into your new Rocco fridge. It’s designed to hold wine, beer, soda, seltzer, kombucha, cold brew, you get it… just not milk or perishables.
  6. The racks are reversible. The side with less space between the bars is for 12 oz cans, soda bottles, beer bottles, and other smaller drinks. The side with more space between the bars is for wine and Champagne. Some beer bottles and those skinny cans also fit well on that side too. Mix and match to your heart’s content.
  7. The shelf at the bottom of your fridge is a half size. Throw the bottles you’re saving for a special occasion down there and keep the stuff you drink daily at the top.
  8. Every Rocco fridge comes with a deck of cards that double as coasters. Your new fridge is basically like a bar in your living room. Invite family and friends over and use the cards to play anything but solitaire.

Setting up your Rocco

Important setup information

The Rocco Super Smart Fridge is factory set for a 97° door swing. Allow 5" min. clearance on the hinge side for the 90° door swing and to allow racks to slide out.

  • Do not install the appliance where the temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
  • Do not install the appliance where the temperature will go above 90°F (32°C) because it will not perform properly and could damage the unit.
  • Do not install the appliance in a location exposed to water (rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.
  • These products are not designed to be stacked.
  • A 120 volt 60Hz., 15 or 20 amp power supply is required.
  • An individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended.

NOTE: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.

Electrical Shock Hazard.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug to connect the appliance to a 2-prong outlet. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Step-by-step setup instructions for your Rocco Super Smart Fridge:

  1. Slide off the plastic straps outside the box. If you think you may want to return it, please do not cut the straps – they must be added back on the box. Wiggle them from the bottom and top.
  2. Slide the outer carton up and over the top of the fridge. On top of the fridge you will find the top tray and instruction booklet. We have heard that sometimes the top of the box gets stuck in the outer carton! If you can’t see your tray, dig inside the box and you’ll find it.
  3. Remove the edge protectors and carefully slide the protective bag off the fridge.
  4. Remove the tape across the door and remove the vertical cardboard strips.
  5. Remove the horizontal pieces of cardboard. These can be very tight to protect the glass door. They come out easily if you use one of the other corner protectors to pry open the door.
  6. Open the door and remove all the recyclable foam. In the foam you’ll find the legs, playing cards, and the door handle screws.
  7. Place two pieces of foam behind the fridge and then tilt the fridge backwards onto the foam. This will give you the angle you need to screw on the legs.
  8. Screw in all the legs, remove any remaining packaging, tilt it back up onto its feet, and move the fridge into place!
  9. Twist the legs as needed to ensure the fridge is level with any uneven floor. For NSF-7 commercial usage, twist the legs in the entire way so there is no exposed thread.
  10. Wait 24 hours, then plug it in!

Attaching the door handle:

  1. Remove the door handle from the side of the fridge, the screws, and the hex key that were with the instruction manual.
  2. On the inside of the fridge door there is a rubber seal. Remove this in the corners behind where the door handle goes. Protip: Don’t start in the corner, it’s really tight. The rubber pulls very easily from approximately 3” away from the corner.
  3. Insert the door handle on the front side of the door, and attach a screw through the hole behind the rubber. Tighten both screws until the handle does not wobble.
  4. Press the rubber firmly back in place. Tip: same as removing the rubber, it’s easiest to start away from the corners and push towards the corner.

How to Care & Clean

Warning Electrical Shock Hazard.

Unplug the Rocco Super Smart Fridge before cleaning.

Cleaning Outside Surfaces, Door Handles, and Trim

Do use:

Soft, clean cloth or sponge

Do not use:

  • Abrasive cloths, scrubbing sponges, scouring or steel wool pads
  • Abrasive powders or sprays
  • Window Sprays or Ammonia Citrus or plant oil-based cleaners Acidic or vinegar-based cleaners Oven cleaners
  • Cleaners containing acetone (propanone) or any cleaner with a warning about plastic contact

Note: Do not allow steel cleaner to come in contact with any plastic parts such as trim pieces, handle hardware and liners. If unintentional contact of cleaners with plastic parts does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent mixed with warm water.

Cleaning the Inside

The door gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water or a baking soda solution. Rinse well. After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.

Use a slightly damp cloth or sponge when cleaning around lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution-about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the appliance including the shelves can be cleaned the same way.

Do not use detergents, scouring powders, spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to clean the interior.

Proper disposal of your Rocco

Warning Suffocation And Entrapment Hazard

Failure to follow these disposal instructions can result in death or serious injury

Important: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances or freezers are still dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw it away, take off the door, and leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerant and Foam Disposal: Dispose of appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Flammable refrigerant and insulation material used require special disposal procedures. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal of your appliance.
