The Chiller Compartment
NOTE: Unlike freezer compartments in the models
PT-F47 / PT-F47B and PT-F60 / PT-F60B, the chiller compartment
present in the model PT-F110 / PT-F110B has the functions of a 4-star freezer with
minimum temperature reached -24 ° degrees.
•
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at
most) of some commercially frozen foods.
•
The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long
periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.
•
By design, this chiller compartment is
NOT
a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or
freeze items.
•
A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be
affected.
•
The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered
under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting Your Refrigerator
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to “OFF” position. Remove frozen or perishable foods. Defrosting usually takes
a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly
remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal
instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
•
Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the refrigerator, and remove the food, shelves,
and trays.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
•
Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
•
The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
•
Replace the lamp (in models equipped)
First take off the lamp cover and screw off the old lamp. Then screw the new lamp into the lamp
holder. Finally assemble lamp cover.
Vacation Time
•
Short vacations:
Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations:
If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
