•
The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position "1" the cold to "6" the coldest. Adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for home
or office refrigerator use.
•
Turning the temperature control knob to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power
to the unit.
NOTE
•
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. 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 appliance.
•
Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one increment at a time. Allow
several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
The Chiller Compartment
•
This compartment is designed for the ice making and short-term storage of some commercially frozen foods.
•
The temperature of the chiller compartment may not reach temperature low enough to store frozen foods safely
and works well when the food is already frozen prior to storage.
•
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet,
carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
How To Defrost
Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice / frost is approximately ¼” thick. Set the thermostat dial to “OFF” to
defrost. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment. Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated
ice / frost to melt. Remove large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices
to melt the accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice / water and wipe the freezer compartment
dry with a soft cloth. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
