Operating Instructions
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting
the thermostat knob to a desired setting. The thermostat
setting can be adjusted from 1 (warmest setting) to 7
(coldest setting).
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob
to the desired cooling setting. The recommended setting is
4 (medium setting).
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the
quantity of food stored and on the frequency with which the
door is opened.
Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures, adjust the
thermostat knob accordingly. In the OFF (0) position, the appliance does not operate (cooling system
is switched off,) yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you open the refrigerator
door.) Temperature in the refrigerator is dependent on how often the door is opened.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or has been turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
the unit.
Interior light
When the door is opened the light will turn on automatically. When the door is closed the light will turn
off automatically.
DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption. If the frost layer reaches 3-5 mm thick, the unit
should be manually defrosted by unplugging the unit and allowing it to remain undisturbed until the
frost has melted. Place a towel or pan under the unit during manual defrosting to catch any excess
melt water and to protect your fl ooring from water damage.
Important: Do not use sharp objects to aid the defrosting process. Sharp objects may puncture the
refrigerant tubing and impact the functioning of the unit.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
•
Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material
which may prevent air circulation.
•
Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fi sh. Meats should be
wrapped individually and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fi sh and poultry in foil or heavy waxed
paper. Most fi sh should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon,
dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.
•
Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
•
Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
