OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
It is recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 44º
and 90ºF (7º to 32ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, the
performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot
conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
Notes:
If the unit is unplugged, or power is lost or 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.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, on the upper portion of
the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the
STOP (0)
position toward the higher numbers
for colder temperatures.
Temperature Control:
Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
(colder) in all compartments of the appliance. At the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots of
the interior of the appliance may even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when
required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend the medium
setting.
Changes in the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance so keep this in
mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat knob.
In the
STOP (0)
position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet
power supply is not interrupted.
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment also depends on how often you open the drawer.
In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the bottom, and
occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly
empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water bottles inside to create a load for the
compressor.
DRAWERS
Removal / Replacing of the Drawers
To remove the drawers from the refrigerator, these directions need to be followed:
1. Pull the drawer out towards you completely.
2. On both sides of the drawer there are stainless steel slides.
3. On each slide there is a black lever.
4. The left lever should be pulled up.
5. The right lever should be pulled down. Both levers should be pulled at the same time while continuing
to pull the drawer.
To re-install the drawers on the appliance:
Simply line up the hinges on the drawer and the hinges on the appliance and gently push the drawer in.
Once lined up, close the drawer completely, then open again to make sure the drawer is on track.
