OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
Temperature Control
Your appliance has only one control for regulating the temperature in the fresh food and the freezer
compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the fresh food section.
The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control to “6” or the high position.
The range of the temperature control is from position “1” the warmest to “6” the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours,
adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be correct
for home or office appliance 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 appliance.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If
you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the appliance
compartment when the frost in the appliance walls is excessive or 1/4 inch thick.
How?
Remove the food from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water collection tray. The water must be removed from the
water collection tray as needed, to avoid overflow.
To remove the water, either remove the water collection tray and/or place a collection container under the
tray.
Dry the water collection tray and place back under the appliance compartment.
For those models with a self contained freezer compartment and no collection tray, water should be
removed regularly during defrost, with a sponge.
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.
Using Your Ice Cube Trays
Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is between position 4 and maximum.
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 freezer to freeze properly.
Dry the bottom of the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.
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 trays, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.
