Operating Your Refrigerator

Please do not plug in the refrigerator for 24 hours after  unit
is set in place. Failure to do so may result in the unit working
improperly.

Thermostat

The thermostat has settings from  MIN to  MAX, plus  OFF.
MIN is the warmest.   MAX is the coldest.
Initially set the thermostat to  MED.

After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the thermo-
stat to the setting that is best suited to your needs.  Turning the thermostat to

OFF

 stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

Important:

 If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 3 minutes before

restarting it or plugging it back in.  It will not restart in less than 3 minutes.

Freezer Compartment and Use of the Ice Cube Trays

This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term food
storage (a few days at most).  This compartment is not cold enough to freeze
foods safely for extended periods of time.

To make ice cubes, fill the tray  with water and place inside the
compartment.

To release ice cubes, hold tray upside down over an ice bucket or bowl,
and twist tray at both ends.

If ice cube tray freezes to the floor, pour a little warm water around it to
loosen it.  Do not use boiling water which can damage plastic parts, or
sharp metal objects such as a knife or screwdriver which can damage the
cooling system tubing.

Wash tray in lukewarm water only.  Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Shelving

The refrigerator has shelves that can be moved to different levels to suit your
food storage needs.  The door shelves provide storage for small and large
items and bottle storage areas for tall bottles.
