TO CONTROL TEMPERATURE
:
Normally the Temperature Control Knob should be set at the
3
position. The refrigerator and freezer compartment temperature can be adjusted colder or warmer by
turning the Temperature Control Knob. Colder temperature can be achieved by turning the Control Knob clockwise towards the
MAX
position. Warmer temperature can
be selected by turning the Control Knob counterclockwise towards the
1
position.
Set the knob at MAX position only when ice cubes are needed in a hurry. Be sure to return Control setting to normal position when the ice cubes have been made.
When room temperature is high and Temperature Control knob is set at 5 or MAX position for a long time, it is possible that the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
will be frosted heavily which may cause insufficient cooling of the refrigerator compartment. In this case, the Temperature Control Knob should be set at the 2 position or
lower. Then, set the knob at normal position.
Refrigerator compartment temperature and freezer compartment temperature will vary depending on the quality of foods stored and upon the frequency with which the
doors are opened.
DEFROST
: This refrigerator has separate defrosting systems for each compartment:
1.
Freezer Compartment
When freezer compartment is frosted about ¼-inch thick, defrosting is required. Frost will interfere with proper freezing.
When frost is thin or soft, scrape off and remove frost on freezer compartment walls with scraper. This can be done without interrupting freezing operation.
When frost is hard, icy or heavy, defrost freezer compartment as follows: Remove foods from freezer compartment. Then set Temperature Control Knob to the OFF
position. When the ice/frost on the side walls and ceiling of the freezer compartment comes off, remove ice and melted water with scraper and cloth. After defrosting,
reset Temperature Control Knob to normal position and start freezing.
2.
Refrigerator Compartment
As long as Temperature Control Knob is set at the normal position, the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment is automatically defrosted and no manual operations
are needed to defrost. Defrosted water is drained out to an evaporating tray on the back of the refrigerator cabinet and is evaporated therein.
FOR ALL CLEANING
: Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda or mild soap with 1 quart warm water. No strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads should be used. Do not put the
defrost tray in the dishwasher. Vacuum the tubing on outside back when dusty.
