USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
To obtain the best possible results form your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly.
Setting the Thermostat control
The thermostat control is located at the top shelf of the refrigerating compartment. During initial use of the refrigerator,
set the Thermostat to 3. Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24
hours before adding food. When the thermostat control knob is set to OFF, the refrigerator is not running,
The marks on the control are temperature grades, not degrees of temperature.
“0” is OFF and “5” is lowest temperature setting.
Fresh Food Storage
Store food in airtight containers or wrap in moisture-proof materials. This prevents food odor and taste transfer.
It is suggested to cool food down to room temperature before storing to reduce electricity consumption and
prevent frost from forming inside.
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment is designed for storing frozen food and for freezing food at home.
Successful freezing depends on proper packaging, which prevents air or moisture in or out. Proper packaging and
sealing eliminates odor and taste transfer throughout the compartment and prevents dried-out frozen food.
For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer and refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around
the packages. Also leave enough room at the front for the door to close tightly.
Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.
Defrosting
After a period of time, the inner surface of the freezer may be covered with a layer of white frost. Frost build-up
increases electricity consumption and reduces the effect of refrigeration. Freezer should be defrosted at this time:
Remove all contents or transfer to refrigerating compartment.
Turn the thermostat knob to OFF position and leave freezer door open.
Clean and wipe out the melted frost with a cloth.
After defrosting, turn thermostat knob back to origin position.
Note: To avoid damaging the compartment walls, never use sharp objects to remove frost or separate frozen food.
