OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
This refrigerator is equipped with a manual defrost
system. To activate the defrost cycle, push the blue
defrost button located on the center of the thermostat
dial. The defrost cycle is initiated immediately.
When defrosting is complete, the blue button will
release and the refrigerator will resume normal
operating conditions.
Note: If the blue defrost button is pressed
accidentally, it is not possible to manually deactivate
the defrost cycle. The defrost cycle must be allowed
to run its course.
Defrosting the refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer
compartment reaches 5 mm (0.2”) 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 and leave the
door open.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting
process to avoid water spilling and causing damage
to fl ooring or counter tops.
Important: Remember to close the refrigerator
door before the defrost cycle terminates and
normal operating conditions resume. The drip tray
should be in position directly below the freezer
compartment to catch condensed water during
defrosting.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas
lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted
by turning the thermostat dial.
• The higher numbers indicate colder settings.
• The lower numbers indicate warmer settings.
• The “0” position will turn off the cooling
function.
• The setting 4 - 5 is recommended for regular
use.
Internal temperature of the appliance can vary
based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items
stored and how frequently the door is opened.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.
1. Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as
it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the
bottom of the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the
appliance is level.
