OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
Temperature Control
•
Your appliance has only one control for regulating the
temperature in the fresh food and the freezer compartment.
The temperature control is located on the upper right hand
side of the fresh food section.
•
The range of the temperature control is from position"1" the
warmest to "7" the coldest.
•
The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control
to “7” or the max-position.
•
After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs.
The setting of “4” should be correct for home or office appliance use.
•
Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance
(choose correct setting of the thermostat knob).
•
To turn the thermostat off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the appliance.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not
start.
Interior Light
When you open the door the light will be ON automatically. When you close the door the
light will turn OFF automatically.
Defrosting Your Appliance
•
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
appliance compartment when the frost on the appliance walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back
wall is defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is
defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall
into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
How?
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never
use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils
and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper.
•
A few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7, so foods are well frozen.
•
Reset the thermostat to OFF position and disconnect the power supply.
•
Remove the frozen food from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
•
Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape off the frost.
•
Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.
•
Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.
Using Your Ice Cube Trays
•
Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position 7.
•
Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid
suitable for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer to
freeze properly.
