OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”defrost system. To activate the defrost cycle, push the red 

defrost button located on the center ofthe thermostat dial. The defrost cycle is initiated immediately.  

 

 When defrosting is complete, the red button will release and the refrigerator will resume normal operating 

conditions.  

Note:

If the red defrost button is pressed accidentally, it is not possible to manually deactivate the defrost cycle. 

The defrost cycle must be allowed to run its course. 

 

 

 

Defrosting the refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 

6 mm (1/4”) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and 

ambient indoor temperature.   

 

To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section and leave the door open 

for a short period of time. 

 

Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting process to avoid water spilling and causing damage to 

fl ooring or counter tops.  

Important:

Remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating 

conditions resume. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to 

catch condensed water during defrosting.   

 

 

Note:

Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer 

compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the refrigerator 

inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue operation if 

the freezer compartment is pierced.     

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

There is an adjustable foot on the bottom of the appliance that can be

turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level.  
1. Turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise until the top of the foot is

touching the bottom of the cabinet.

2. Slowly turn the leveling foot clockwise until the appliance is level.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted 

by turning the thermostat dial. 
The thicker, darker part of the blue line is the coldest 

setting.
The thinner, lighter part of the blue line is the 

warmest setting.
The “O” position will turn off the cooling function.

Internal temperature of the appliance can vary 

based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items 

stored and how frequently the door is opened.

If the temperature control knob adjusts to the maximum setting,the 

compressor may run continuously. It's a coldest mode. Please do not 

adjust to the maximum setting frequently.
