OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Control
•
Your refrigerator has one control for
regulating the temperature. The
temperature control is located on the top
center of the refrigerator 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
foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
•
The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position “1” the warmest to “7” the
coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4”
should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
•
Turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off
the power to the unit.
•
•
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
•
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for air flow.
•
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 Freezer Compartment
•
This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
•
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
•
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the
packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
When To Defrost
This unit is not designed to defrost automatically. In order to prevent damage to the interior liner of
the unit from excessive frost build-up, please manually defrost the unit every 3 months or when the ice /
frost is approximately 1/4” thick inside the freezer compartment.
How To Defrost
Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice / frost are approximately 1/4” thick or every 3 months,
whichever comes first. Set the thermostat dial to “0” to defrost. Remove all contents from the freezer
compartment. Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice/frost to melt. Remove large
pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt the
accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice / water and wipe the freezer compartment
dry with a soft cloth. In the event that the ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, please
allow the evaporator located behind the freezer wall to completely defrost for approximately 2 hours
before restarting the unit. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
