OPERATION
REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature
level you select. The temperature control has 4 settings. COLD
is the warmest setting, COLDEST is the coldest setting.
At first, set the panel to the COLD-
ER indicator marking (middle set-
ting), and allow 24 hours to pass
before adjusting the temperature
to your need.
NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted
position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging
the unit in.
The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it
is in a particularly hot environment, or if the door is opened too
frequently. Turning this knob to “o” stops the cooling in both
the refrigeration and freezer sections.
NOTE
• If the unit is unplugged, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit (plugging the unit back in). If you attempt
to restart before 3 to 5 minutes, the refrigerator will not start.
• If the power goes out, the unit should restart itself when the
power comes back on.
• Large amount of food will lower the cooling eiciency of the
appliance.
• Do not place food so that it blocks an air vent, and leave ade-
quate space between food items for air flow in the cabinet.
• Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two
temperature selections.
FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your refrigerator has a vent
control for regulating the tem-
perature in the freezer compart-
ment. The temperature control
is located on the center of the
freezer compartment’s interior
back panel.
• The first time you turn the
unit on, adjust the temperature
control knob to COLDEST and let the unit run for at least 2
hours before putting food inside. This will ensure that the
freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
The FREEZER temperature control has 4 settings: OFF, COLD,
COLDER and COLDEST. COLD is warmest setting and COLDEST
is coldest setting, OFF is o. ranges from COLD (the warmest)
to COLDEST (the coldest). Adjust this control to get the desired
temperature. The recommended factory setting is COLDER
(halfway between COLD and COLDEST).
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of
frozen food. Storage time period is up to three months.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible aer
purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully
follow these instructions regarding storage times.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
COOLING SYSTEM
This refrigerator is inclusive of a FROST FREE type cooling sys-
tem, which means you never have to defrost the freezer com-
partment. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located
near the compressor, where it then evaporates.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect
the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use
a so cloth and a solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one
quart (4 cups) of water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild de-
tergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a
mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a so cloth. Clean
the outside with a damp so cloth and some mild detergent or
appliance cleaner.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual
setting. During longer absences:
1. REMOVE ALL FOOD
2. DISCONNECT UNIT FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET
3. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO AVOID POSSIBLE FORMATIONS
OF CONDENSATION, MOLD, OR ODORS
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two, and will
not aect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should
minimize the number times you open the door while the pow-
er is o. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to
protect your food.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the re-
frigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the
way into the base.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in
cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers.
• Never place spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Don’t overload the refrigerator.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods,
it is suggested, aer careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to
allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the
possible formations of condensation, mold, or odors.
