OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Temperature Control Dial

The temperature control dial 
has settings from “MIN” 
to “MAX” plus “OFF”.

“MIN” is the warmest.

“MAX” is the coldest.

Initially set the 
temperature control dial at “3”.

After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust
the temperature control to the setting that is best
suited to your needs.

Shelves can be moved to different levels to suit your
varying food storage needs. To remove a shelf, lift
front slightly and pull straight out.

Ice trays need to be set on the floor of the ice tray
compartment to freeze properly.

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

If the ice tray freezes to the floor, pour a little
lukewarm 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 ice trays in lukewarm water only. 
Do not put them in an automatic dishwasher.

Ice Tray Compartment

• This compartment is designed for production of 

ice cubes and short-term storage (a few days at 
the most) of some commercial-frozen foods.

• The temperature in the ice tray compartment 

doesn’t get cold enough to freeze food safely.

Shelves

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray
compartment becomes 1/4

thick.

Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove
frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured
cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the
warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.

Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your
refrigerator.

To defrost, remove foods and ice trays from the ice
tray compartment, put drip tray in place, and set
temperature control dial at “OFF”.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster,
keep the door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water
on the frosted part may speed defrosting. Do not use
boiling water—
it may damage plastic parts.

After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray.
Wash the drip tray in warm water. Wipe the ice tray
compartment with a damp cloth. Then turn the
temperature control to the desired setting and return
food and ice trays to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the
ice tray compartment door from opening or closing
completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting,
the door will open and close easily.
