The thermostat knob is located on the upper rear face of the unit and has five settings,
1
through
5
. The
internal temperature of the unit can be controlled by turning the knob. The temperature will be lowered as
the thermostat number increases, so that a setting of
1
gives the warmest internal temperature, and
5
gives the coldest.
It is recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 72º
and 78ºF (23º-26ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the
performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The expected range of 35º - 50ºF (2ºC - 10ºC) may not be
reached.
Defrosting the Unit
Defrosting is automatic in the SCR1275. During the defrost cycle, melting ice drips off the evaporator
coils at the rear of the cabinet and flows through the hole at the back of the floor of the cabinet into a
holding tray above the compressor. There, the heat generated by the compressor evaporates the water.
Interior Lights
The light switch just below the logo panel controls both the lighting of the panel and the interior of the
cabinet. Pressing the switch turns both lights on and off.
Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and set of keys.
The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the
Instruction Manual
. Insert the key into the
lock and turn it clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse operation, making sure the
metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it in a secure place for safekeeping, out of the
reach of children.
Shelves
There are a total of seven (7) adjustable shelves. To change the position of a shelf, first remove all shelf
contents. Then tap the shelf from below at each of the four corners to free it from the brackets holding it
in place. Remove the brackets from the slotted vertical posts and reset them at the height you desire for
the new shelf position. Snap the shelf onto the four brackets and replace the shelf contents.
Normal Phenomena
You may notice the following phenomena happening with your appliance. They are normal and should
not be a cause for alarm.
You may hear a sound like water flowing. This is refrigerant flowing through the pipes.
The compressor, condenser or the region of the unit near the door feel warm, or even hot.
Under conditions of high humidity, moisture forms on the outer cabinet or door. This can be wiped
away with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
