OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
¾
Setting the Temperature Control
•
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the
compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right
hand side of the compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.”
•
The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”.
After 24 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best
suites your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for home
or office use.
•
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

Using Your Ice Cube Tray
•
Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position 6.
•
Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable
for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the chiller compartment to
freeze properly.
•
The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold
tap water for a second.
•
To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly
¾
The Chiller Compartment
•
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at
most) of some commercially frozen foods.
•
The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long
periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.
•
By
design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or
freeze items.
•
A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be
affected.
•
The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered
under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 inch thick.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
¾
Defrosting Your Appliance
•
Defrost the unit
if
the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the
thermostat dial to “OFF” position.
•
Remove frozen or perishable foods from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
•
Use a sponge or towel to remove the melting ice from the chiller compartment or bottom of the
unit.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We
recommend using a plastic scraper.
