This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120-volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
•
The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
•
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
•
The use of an extension cord is strongly discouraged.
Operating Your Refrigerator
Setting the Temperature Control
•
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the cooling compartment. The
temperature control, or thermostat, is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment. It
has settings from
0
(Off) to
7
(coldest).
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control to its highest setting,
7
.
•
After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The
midpoint setting (
3
to
4
) should be appropriate for home or office use, but keep in mind that the
cooling compartment temperature is affected by ambient temperature, as well as the frequency of
door opening, the amount and initial temperature of stored food, and the refrigerator's location.
Adjust the thermostat accordingly.
•
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to
0
.
NOTES:
Turning the temperature control to a setting of
0
stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off
the power to the unit. For example, the interior light still comes on when you open the door.
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 Refrigerator
This appliance requires no manual defrosting. During the operation of the compressor, ice will build
up along the cold rear wall (the evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s off-
cycle, the ice will melt, drip down, and collect in a tray above the compressor, where the
compressor’s heat evaporates the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try
setting the temperature slightly higher (i.e., a lower setting of the thermostat). Also, be sure that the
door gasket is sealing well.
