OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE SETTING
This appliance can be used as a refrigerator or
a freezer. The temperature can be controlled by
setting the thermostat dial inside the cabinet.
Refrigerator Use
To use the appliance as a refrigerator, set the
thermostat dial in the "REFRIGERATOR" range.
Using this setting allows the appliance to store fresh
food and beverages. The internal temperature will
be between 0 - 10°C (32 - 50°F).
There are refrigerant lines in the cabinet walls that
will get very cold. When using the appliance as a
refrigerator, keep food items away from the cabinet
walls to avoid freezing food.
Freezer Use
To use the appliance as a freezer, set the thermostat
dial in the "FREEZER" range. Using this setting
allows the appliance to store frozen foods and ice.
The internal temperature will be between -12 -
-24°C (10.4 - -11.2°F).
Do not place liquid items in sealed bottles or
containers into the appliance when it is being used
as a freezer to avoid damage cause by expansion
and cracking of the container.
Fast Freeze
Setting the thermostat dial to "FAST FREEZE"
will cause the compressor to run continuously.
The internal temperature will be roughly -28°C
(-18.4°F). "FAST FREEZE" can be used to quickly
lower the temperature inside the freezer so contents
will freeze faster. Do not run "FAST FREEZE" for
more than 24 hours.
IMPORTANT
This appliance is considered "Garage Ready" if it
is being used as a freezer. If the thermostat dial is
set in the "REFRIGERATOR" range, the appliance
should only be used in climate controlled spaces.
Conversion Notes
When using the appliance as a refrigerator,
condensation may form on the walls and shelves.
This is normal and does not impact the operation of
the appliance. This condensed water can be wiped
with a dry cloth to remove it. Adjusting the levelling
legs to a taller position can help to angle the cabinet
backwards and cause condensed water to fl ow out
the defrost drain on the interior of the cabinet.
If the appliance has been used as a freezer and
will be converted to use as a refrigerator, a large
amount of condensation may form on the cabinet
walls. Please check that all food items have been
removed to avoid unwanted food defrosting. Defrost
and clean the appliance before resuming use to
avoid water accumulation inside the cabinet.
Other Important Notes
• MIN indicates the warmest setting.
• MAX indicates the coldest setting.
• Setting the thermostat dial in the middle of the
MIN-MAX range should be suffi cient for regular
home use.
• Setting the thermostat to "FAST FREEZE" or
MAX in the "FREEZER" range will cause the
compressor to run continuously and will make
the interior very cold. It is not recommended to
run the appliance at this setting for long periods
of time.
• The temperature inside the appliance can
vary based on ambient room temperature,
the frequency that the door is opened and the
amount of fresh food that has recently been
added.
• Do not overload the appliance as this can affect
performance. Do not freeze large quantities of
fresh food at the same time.
• The door may be diffi cult to open immediately
after closing it. This is normal and is due to the
pressure difference between the cold interior
of the appliance and the warm air that has
just entered the appliance when the door was
opened. The pressure will equalize within a few
minutes. If the door is especially diffi cult to open,
wait 5 minutes to allow the pressure to equalize
and then try again.
