Operating Instructions; Care And Maintenance - Danby DCR032A2BDB Guía De Utilización Y Cuidado Para El Propietario

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg located under the refrig-
erator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to
the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the
graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature
will vary depending on the quantity of the 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" setting. After defrosting and if the refrigerator
has been left out of use for some time, set the control to
maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired posi-
tion. If the refrigerator is not to be used for long time peri-
ods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.
This will help reduce the mold/mildew from accumulating
inside the refrigerator cabinet.
DEFROSTING
This refrigerator is equipped with a "Push Button"
(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the
defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red or blue defrost button
located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not turn the
control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is initiated
immediately. When defrosting is complete, the "Push Button"
will release (pop-out) automatically and resume normal oper-
ating conditions at the same temperature setting.
NOTE: If the "Push Button" is activated (pushed-in)
accidentally, it will not be possible to "manually" pull-out the
push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You must let the
defrost cycle run its course. (or) Apply (hold) a dishcloth
soaked in hot water against the thermostat capillary line and
bracket, located on the underside of the freezer compart-
ment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth will cause a tem-
perature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing line), caus-
ing the internal contacts to close. This will resume normal
operating conditions. It may take several minutes and/or
repeat applications before the push button will release.
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reach-
es 1/4" (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours,
depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient
indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process,
remove all frozen foods from the freezer section.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Fig. A
Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door
before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating
conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in
position directly below the freezer compartment to catch con-
densed water during defrosting.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer
compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if
accidentally punched/pierced, will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty.
DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE
OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS
PIERCED.
When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of
time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and
leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold
and mildew build-up.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the
refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
