OPERATING THE REFRIGERATOR
Setting the Temperature Control
•
The appliance has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located
on the upper right hand of the fridge interior compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “6” and run for at least 2
hours before putting items inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled.
•
The range of the temperature control is from position "1" (the warmest) to "6" (the coldest). Adjust
the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. Setting “4” should be appropriate
for home or office use.
•
Turning the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the unit.
NOTE:
•
If the unit is unplugged or loses power, you must wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the it.
If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not operate.
•
Large numbers of items will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
Do not place items on the air outlet and ensure to 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 the temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Refrigerator
•
Unplug the appliance and remove all items including shelves and racks.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 250ml of water.
•
Wash the shelves and racks with a mild detergent solution.
•
Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. The external surfaces of the appliance should be
cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the controls or any electrical parts.
Power Failure
•
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of the
appliance 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 appropriate steps to protect the contents of
the cooler.
