IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”
(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the
defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost button
located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not turn the
control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is initiated
immediately. When defrosting is complete, the “Push
Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and resume
normal operating conditions at the same temperature setting.
NOTE:
If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in)
accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually” pull-out the
push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You must either let
the defrost cycle run its course or:
• Hold a dishcloth soaked in hot water against the thermostat
capillary line and bracket, located on the underside of the
freezer compartment. The heat transfer from the cloth will
cause a temperature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing
line), causing the internal contacts to close. This will resume
normal operating conditions. It may take several minutes
and/or repeat applications before the push button will release.
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever
ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 1/4”
(6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending
on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor
temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all
frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door
partially ajar for a short period of time will also speed up
the process.
FEATURES
1) Temperature Control Dial:
For controlling the temperature
inside the refrigerator. Activates the compressor as soon as the
temperature rises above the set level
2) Freezer Compartment with Freezer Door:
Separate freezer
section holds ice cube tray and small items.
3) Ice Cube Tray:
Ice cubes are easily removed from tray (not
shown).
4) Plastic Coated Shelves:
Odor resistant, rustproof, and
removable for easy cleaning.
5) Drip Tray:
Catches the water that drips off the evaporator
when defrosting.
6) Magnetic Gasket:
Tight fitting door seal keeps all the cooling
power locked inside. No hooks or latches.
7) Bottle Rack:
For tall, medium, and large bottles, cans or jars.
8) CANSTOR Door Liner:
Holds 355ml cans of pop, juice or
beer.
ICE CUBE TRAY
Ice cube tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove ice cubes. If the ice cube tray is
frozen hard to the evaporator surface, run a little water over the tray. Never use a
knife or other metal instrument to remove ice cube tray as this may damage the
evaporator.

Important:
You must remember to close the refrigerator
door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal
operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray
should be in position directly below the freezer
compartment to catch evaporated water during defrosting.
Note:
Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
defrost/remove ice from the evaporator/freezer
compartment. The freezer compartment contains
refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced,
will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the
manufacturers warranty.
DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO
CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

EFROST
After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum
for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired position.
When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of
time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply
and leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce
mold and mildew build-up.
Note:
Wait 3 to 5 minutes before
attempting to restart the refrigerator
if operation has been interrupted.
