Door Handle Installation:
Each door has two screw holes on each side, allowing you to install a handle (included).
To do so, align the handle with the screw holes on the side you prefer. Fix the handle in
place with the included screws, then cover the screw heads with the handle seals
(included).
Operating Your Refrigerator/Freezer
Temperature Control:
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is controlled
with a thermostat knob located inside the refrigerator, towards
the upper right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the
STOP
(
0
) position toward the higher numbers for colder
temperatures. Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers)
mean lower temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator.
On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots of the
refrigerator compartment may drop below 32°F. Use higher
thermostat settings only when required or recommended.
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium setting.
Changes in the ambient temperature affect temperature in the refrigerator
compartment so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on
ambient conditions.
The temperature in the freezer compartment is also controlled by the refrigerator
thermostat.
When the temperature dial is in the
STOP
(
0
)
position, the appliance does not
operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted
(the light goes on when you open the refrigerator door).
The internal temperatures also depend on how often you open the doors.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are coldest
near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best
not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some
water bottles or freezer packs inside to create a load for the compressor.
NOTES:
1. For best storage, do not over-pack. Be sure the doors close fully.
2. Shelves are adjustable
3. The interior refrigerator light on this unit is controlled by a plunger type switch, so that
the light comes on automatically when the refrigerator door is opened.
4. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting. If you attempt to restart the unit before this time delay, it will not
start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance combines a manual defrost freezer section and an automatic defrost
refrigerator section. The refrigerator compartment defrosts itself. In the freezer
compartment, when frost builds to ½ inch, defrost carefully according to this procedure:
1. Remove contents from the entire unit, taking care that frozen items do not begin to
thaw. Set the thermostat to
STOP
(
0
).
