OPERATION
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The cabinet temperature is controlled by the thermostat located at the back of the
unit in the lower left corner. Rotate the dial to adjust the cabinet temperature.
The setting
OFF
indicates that the device is turned off.
Turning the temperature control clockwise from this
setting turns the device on automatically.
The settings
1
through
5
regulate the inside
temperature. Setting
1
(MIN) results in the warmest
inside temperature, while setting
5
(MAX) results in
the coldest inside temperature.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control to
the highest setting first, until the device has reached
the desired operating temperature. Afterwards, turn
the control back to a medium setting.
The optimum position of the temperature control 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
should adjust the control according to current conditions.
Generally, the temperature control 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.
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
