Operating Instructions
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat
knob on the ceiling of the cabinet, to a desired setting.
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position cor-
responding to the desired cooling setting on the graduated blue dial.
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored
and on the frequency with which the door is opened.
To turn the control to the "OFF" position, rotate the control knob to the "0" po-
sition. If the refrigerator is not going to be used for long time periods, discon-
nect the plug and leave the door partially open. This will help to prevent mold
and mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.
Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures, adjust the ther-
mostat 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.
DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
There is no need to manually defrost the refrigerator. Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation will defrost automatically when the compressor has cycled off. Defrost water
collects inside the drain passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan situat-
ed above the compressor where it will evaporate.
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.
