How To Operate

Before use

1.  Wipe the inside of the refrigerator to ensure

it is completely clean.

2.  Plug the power cord into an outlet.
3.  There may be a smell of plastic when you

initially open the door. This is not unusual.

Temperature control

You can control the inside temperature by
turning the thermostat dial. Higher numbers
mean greater cooling power, smaller numbers
mean less cooling power. To make ice cubes in
the ice making compartment, set the dial to “7”.
The dial does not have to be set exactly on the
numbers, but can be any place in between.

How to make ice cubes

1.  Fill tray 3/4 full with water to allow 

expansion during freezing.

2.

Place the ice tray in the ice making compartment.

How to take the ice cubes out

When the ice is made, grasp each end of 
the icetray and twist it gently

4.  Set the temperature control dial to “high

and run for 2-3 hours before placing any
food in the refrigerator. Only place food in
when the refrigerator has cooled
sufficiently.
