Over Heating Shut-off Device Operation
Operating the refrigerator in high ambient temperatures can over heat the cooling unit and
cause premature failure of the compressor.
To protect the cooling unit from over heating, the refrigerator will automatically shut-off
when the temperature of the refrigerator power module is higher than approximately 100°
C (212°F).
The refrigerator will restart when the temperature of the refrigerator power module is lower
than approximately 80°C (176° F).
Cleaning and Defrosting
Defrosting
It is normal for frost to collect on the freezer plate inside the refrigerator. Excess frost
decreases the cooling performance of the refrigerator. Defrost the refrigerator as
necessary.
Do not use sharp objects, a hair dryer, a heat gun, etc. to defrost
the refrigerator. Damage to the interior of the refrigerator can
occur.
- Turn the thermostat to “OFF”.
- Remove all food from the refrigerator.
Defrosting the refrigerator makes excess water inside the refrigerator.
- Put dry towels (etc.) inside the refrigerator to absorb the excess water.
- Put trays of hot water in the freezer until the frost is melted.
- Empty the drip tray.
- Remove the wet towels (etc.) and dry the inside of the refrigerator
- Turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
- Put the drip tray and all food in the refrigerator.
Cleaning
A good time to clean the refrigerator is just after you defrost it.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator as often as necessary to avoid food odors:
