OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•
Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the
upper right hand corner of the interior compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control
knob to “7” and run for at least 2 hours before putting food inside. This
will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before the food is put in.
•
The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position
“1” (cold) to “7” (coldest). Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. A setting of “3” or “4” should be
appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
•
To turn off the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to
“Off”. Please note that turning the temperature control knob to the
“Off” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not disconnect the
power supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE
:
•
If the unit is unplugged or loses power, you must wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt
to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator may not start.
•
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
DO NOT place food on or in front of the air outlet, and allow space for airflow.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one increment at a time.
Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
ThE ChILLER COMPARTMENT
•
The temperature of the chiller compartment may not reach a temperature low enough to store all frozen
foods and works best when the food is already frozen prior to storage.
•
Place frozen food into the chiller compartment as soon as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
on the food packaging, carefully follow those instructions regarding storage times.
hOw TO DEFROST
•
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 0.2” (5 mm) thick.
•
Set the thermostat dial to “OFF”. Remove foods .Keep drain tray in place. Defrosting usually takes a few
hours. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave door open. Never use a knife or
other metal instrument to remove ice/frost from the evaporator.
•
After defrosting, empty water from drain tray and set the thermostat dial to the maximum setting for 2-3
hours before returning to the desired setting to start refrigerating again.
NOTE
: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the chiller compartment, as it contains
refrigerator gas lines and if accidentally punctured or pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
