The temperature control maintains the temperature in the refrigerator. Setting the control at COOL is the warmest setting. Setting the control at COLDEST is the coldest setting. Set the control at COLD.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the desired temperature. If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one setting at a time. Moving the control to OFF stops cooling but does not turn off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control too high may cause freezing in the refrigerator depending on the room temperature
After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Any cleaner with WARNING about plastic contact
NOTE: DO NOT allow stainless steel cleaner to come in contact with any plastic parts such as trim pieces, handle hardware and liners. If unintentional contact of cleaners with plastic parts does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent mixed with warm water.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Remove power from refrigerator before cleaning.
Either disconnect main DC power supply wires at rear of unit, remove refrigerator circuit fuse, or turn off circuit breaker in DC voltage distribution panel. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way.
After cleaning the door gaskets. apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape. Do not use clean: powders or other abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Replacing LED Lighting
WARNING: Do not change the LED light by yourself. Please contact the after-sales service for replacement. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury or death from electric shock.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the walls of the freezer compartment become 1/4”thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.
To defrost:
Remove foods and ice trays from the freezer compartment
Set the temperature control dial to OFF.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster. keep the freezer door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part may speed defrosting. Do not use boiling water—it may damage plastic parts.
After defrosting
Wipe the freezer compartment with a damp cloth
Tum the temperature control to the desired setting and return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the freezer door from opening or closing completely. After defrosting, the door will close easily.
Preparing for Storage
For long storage or absences when refrigerator will not be used. remove food and either disconnect main DC power supply wires at rear of unit. or remove refrigerator circuit fuse or turn off circuit breaker in DC voltage distribution panel. Move the control to the OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.
Preparing to Move
Remove food. remove refrigerator circuit fuse or turn off circuit breaker in DC voltage distribution panel. and disconnect main DC power supply wires at rear of unit. Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
