USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL

The temperature control dial is located in the upper right section of the refrigerator section. This controls both the refrigerator and the freezer compartments and has the following settings:

“1” to “7” plus “0” which indicates off

“1” is the warmest “7” is the coldest

Initially, set the temperature control dial to “4”.

Allow the refrigerator to cool sufficiently before adding foods. Wait 24 hours after filling the refrigerator to adjust the temperature control to the setting that is best suited to your needs. Positions “2” and “3” are normal settings. Adjustment may be necessary if your refrigerator is placed in a very warm or a very cool location and as seasons change.

Important: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 4 minutes before restarting it or plugging it back in.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Your refrigerator is equipped with a freezer compartment which freezes up to 14 pounds of food in a 24 hour period and allows preservation of food for long periods of time. An ice cube tray is also included for convenience.

When adding a large amount of unfrozen food to the freezer compartment, set the temperature control on “7”. Place unfrozen foods on the shelf in the freezer compartment. Transfer them to the lower portion of the freezer compartment after they are frozen.

SHELVING

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have shelves that can be moved to different levels to suit your food storage needs.
