Operating Your Refrigerator/Freezer
Temperature Control
•
The temperature in each compartment is controlled with a
thermostat knob located towards the upper right-hand corner.
Turn the knob clockwise from the
STOP (0)
position toward the
higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher settings on the knob
(higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator.
•
On the coldest settings, temperatures will go to approx -5°F. Use higher
thermostat settings when using unit as a refrigerator.
•
Changes in the ambient temperature affect temperature in the refrigerator
compartment so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob,
depending on ambient conditions.
•
The temperature in the upper compartment is also controlled by its own
thermostat.
•
When the temperature dial is in the
STOP (0)
position, the appliance does not
operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet the power supply is not
interrupted (the light goes on when you open the refrigerator door).
•
The internal temperatures also depend on how often you open the doors.
•
In all small refrigerators and freezers 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 or freezer packs inside to create a load for
the compressor.
NOTES:
1.
For best storage, do not over-pack. Be sure the doors close fully.
2.
The interior light comes on automatically when the refrigerator door is opened.
3.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting. If you attempt to restart the unit before this time delay,
it will not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance is a manual defrost unit. In each compartment, when frost
builds to ½ inch, 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 freezer door is left
open.
3.
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.
4.
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 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.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Appliance
1.
Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to
STOP (0)
and remove all
contents, including shelves.
2.
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar.
Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
3.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry
thoroughly.
4.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of
the temperature control or any electrical parts.
6.
After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power supply,
reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal
injury.
Power Failure:
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take the
proper steps to protect your frozen and chilled items.
