OPERATION
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The cabinet temperature is controlled by a thermostat located at the back of the
unit, to the left of the compressor. Rotate the dial to adjust the cabinet
temperature.
The optimum position of the thermostat depends on the temperature you prefer.
Cabinet temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, the amount of stored food and the placement of the refrigerator. You can
adjust the thermostat according to current conditions.
Generally, the thermostat knob is set at the midpoint of the dial. When room
temperature is lower than usual, place the dial at a lower setting. Conversely, if the
room temperature is higher than normal, adjust the thermostat to a higher setting.
DEFROSTING
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.
FOOD STORAGE
Hot food should not be stored until it has completely cooled. It is suitable for food to
be frozen after pre-cooling it in refrigerating compartment then freeze it.
In order to allow air to circulate, when placing food in the refrigerator, allow proper
spacing between food items. To prevent drying out and to keep odors from mixing,
pack stored food carefully.
NORMAL PHENOMENA
It is normal that both side panels and the top of the refrigerator be warm because of
the built-in condenser.
There may be condensation on the surface of the appliance when it is placed in an
area of high humidity or when the weather is hot. It resembles the moisture that
condenses on a glass of cold liquid during summer. Dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
Occasionally the sound of a gurgling liquid can be heard. This is the refrigerant
flowing through the condensing tubes. The sound can also be heard when the
refrigerator stops working.
