Operating Your Unit
•
Your unit has only one control for regulating
the temperature in the compartment. The
temperature control is located on top side of
the compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, set the
temperature control to “5”.
•
The range of the temperature control is from
position “OFF” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours,
adjust the temperature control to the setting
that best suites your needs. The setting of
“3” should be appropriate for normal use.
•
To turn the appliance off, turn the
temperature control to “OFF”.
NOTE
•
Turning the temperature control to “OFF”
position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the unit.
•
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is
turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to
restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
CAUTION
•
Do not use boiling water because it may
damage the plastic parts. In addition, never
use a sharp steel instrument to remove frost
as it may damage the cooling system. We
recommend using the plastic scraper.
¾
Cleaning Your Unit
•
Turn the temperature control to “OFF”,
unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelf,
and tray.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water
and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a quart of water.
•
Wash the shelf and tray with a mild
detergent solution.
•
The outside of the unit should be cleaned
with mild detergent and warm water.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or
cloth before cleaning the area of the
controls, or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water
and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION
•
Failure to unplug the unit could result in
electrical shock or personal injury.
¾
Power Failure
•
Most power failures are corrected within a
few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your unit 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, you need to take the proper steps to
protect your food.
¾
Vacation Time
•
Short Vacations:
Leave the unit operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long Vacations:
If the appliance will not be
used for several months, remove all food
and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry
the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and
mold growth, leave the door open slightly:
blocking it open if necessary.
¾
Moving Your Unit
•
Remove all the food.
•
Securely tape down all lose items inside
your unit.
•
Turn the leveling legs up to the base to
avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright
position during transportation. Also protect
the outside of unit with a blanket, or similar
item.
