NOTES:
1. For best storage, be sure not to over-pack and assure the freezer door closes fully.
2. The glass shelves are adjustable. These shelves stop short an inch before the back
wall, which is essential for air flow and the proper operation of the automatic defrost
system. Do not block these gaps.
3. The interior light on this unit is controlled by a plunger type switch, so that the light
comes on automatically when the refrigerator door is opened.
4. 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.
Defrosting Your Appliance
This appliance combines a manual defrost freezer section and an automatic defrost
refrigerator section. The refrigerator compartment defrosts itself, but when frost builds to
½ inch in the freezer compartment, defrost carefully according to this procedure:
:
1. Remove contents from the entire unit, taking care that frozen items do not begin to
thaw. Set the thermostat to
STOP
(
0
).
2. Unplug the appliance. Defrosting is accelerated if the doors are left open.
3. Melting ice will drain into the drip tray below the freezer compartment. Empty this as
needed.
4. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. After
the frost or ice has melted, dry the interior of the freezer compartment thoroughly.
5. Restart the appliance by plugging it in and turning the thermostat to the desired
position. Once it is cold, return contents to the freezer and refrigerator sections.
CAUTION
: Do not use boiling water or an electric device such as a hair dryer to help
speed up the defrosting process because this could damage the plastic parts of
the unit. 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.
