Operation and Controls
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
To obtain the best possible results for your appliance, it is important
that you operate it properly. This appliance uses a mechanical ther-
mostat control knob which can be located at the inside cabinet of the
appliance. The temperature control knob is marked with the settings
OFF-MIN-MED-MAX in order of increasing coldness. When the unit
is set to “OFF”, the appliance stops running.
Note: Let the appliance to cool down completely. It is best to wait for
24 hours before adding items.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
To change the light bulb, make sure to unplug the appliance or disconnect unit from power supply before remov-
ing the bulb. Replace the bulb with a 10-watt appliance bulb. Please note that not all bulbs will fit your appliance.
Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. Plug in or reconnect the appliance to power
supply after bulb replacement.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the electricity goes off for a short period, keep both doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen. If the power
will be out for a longer period of time, remove food from the appliance and store it in a frozen food locker.
FRESH FOOD STORAGE
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture - proof material. This prevents food odor and
taste transfer throughout refrigerator
Fruit - wash, dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper
Leafy vegetables - remove wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas then wash in cold wa-
ter and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper
Fish – use fresh fish the same day as purchased
Meat – store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture – proof
Leftovers – cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight-seal lid can also be
used.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment is designed for storing frozen food and for freezing food at home. Successful freezing
depends on the correct packaging. When you close and seal the package you must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and will also cause frozen
food to dry out.
Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.
For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer and refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around
the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
DEFROSTING
Under most ambient conditions, the appliance does not need to be defrosted. In cold ambient temperatures and/
or high humidity, some frost may build up. To defrost the appliance, set the thermostat knob to “OFF”, remove
frozen or perishable items and defrosting should occur in a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial
to the desired position. For faster defrosting, remove all items from the appliance, unplug the appliance and
leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
