OPERATION

Setting the thermostat

1. The first time you turn the refrigerator on, adjust the thermostat to “7” and run for at least two hours before putting food in.
2. After it is fully cooled, test it and adjust towards “4” to make it less cool, to best suit your needs. The “4” setting should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

Notes:

• Turning the thermostat to the “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator.
• If the refrigerator is unplugged or loses power, you must wait three to five minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust it by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

Using the freezer compartment

Making ice

1. Set the thermostat to “7”.
2. Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer compartment to freeze properly.
3. When the water in the ice cube tray has hardened, remove the ice tray from the freezer, then twist slightly to eject the ice cubes from the tray.
4. Re-set the thermostat to “4” when you are done making ice.

Defrosting your refrigerator

This refrigerator is not designed to defrost automatically. In order to prevent damage to the interior liner of the refrigerator from excessive frost build-up, defrost the refrigerator every three months or when ice or frost is approximately mm) thick inside the freezer compartment.

1. Set the thermostat to “0”, then remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
2. Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice and frost to melt. Remove large pieces of ice as needed.
   • CAUTION:
     • Do not use hot water or electric heating devices to melt the accumulated ice.
     • The refrigerator door must remain closed while defrosting the freezer.
3. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice and water, then wipe the freezer compartment dry with a soft cloth.
4. Even though ice is not visibly present in the freezer compartment, allow the evaporator, located behind the freezer wall, to completely defrost for approximately two hours (total) before restarting the refrigerator.
5. Restart following the instructions in “Setting the thermostat”

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.

When you first receive it, wipe the case with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your refrigerator looking new.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:

• Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning the interior of your refrigerator

1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Remove all food.
3. Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth.

Note: It is recommended that you soak your cloth in a baking soda solution before washing the interior. Mix one quart of warm water and two tablespoons of baking soda.

4. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

Changing the interior light

CAUTION:

• All parts removed must be saved to reinstall the light bulb.
• Before removing the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator from the power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

1. Hold the lamp cover and push toward the inside of the cabinet to remove it from the refrigerator compartment.
2. Unscrew the old bulb, then install the new bulb (10W/12E).
3. Re-install the lamp cover.

Turning off your refrigerator for extended periods

1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.

3. Clean the refrigerator.
4. Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor.

Moving your refrigerator

1. Turn off the refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Remove all food.
3. Securely tape down all loose items inside of your refrigerator.
4. Tape the doors shut.

Note: Make sure that your refrigerator stays in an upright position during transportation.

Tips on saving energy

• Place your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool before placing them in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches
