HOW TO OPERATE

Starting your new Refrigerator

1.Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, the inside with a damp cloth.

2.Keep the door open and insert the power supply cord into the socket.

3.Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator operate for 15-20 minutes.

The freezer should then show some traces of frost.

HOW TO CLEAN

Cleaners: The cleaners noted below are available. Never use harsh, abrasive cleaners, heavy- duty cleaners, or solvents on any surface.

Exterior: Wipe with damp, sudsy cloth, rinse and dry. For stubborn stains and for periodic waxing, use silicon wax.

Evaporator: When refrigerator needs defrosting turn thermostat dial to “OFF”. Do not use sharp instruments.

Refrigeration Section: Wash shelves and other removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Wash interior with baking soda solution (3 table spoons to one quart of water) or warm sudsy water, rinse and dry.

Temperature control

You can control the inside temperature by turning the thermostat dial. Higher numbers mean greater cooling power, smaller numbers mean less cooling power. To make ice cubes in the freezer compartment, set the dial to “7”. The dial does not have to be set exactly on the numbers, but can be any place in between.

HOW TO INSTALL

Install refrigerator in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow sufficient clearance between the refrigerator and side wall so the door will open for a fully usable interior. Refrigerator is not designed for recessed installation.

NOTE : Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the machine. Unit may fail to operate properly if restarted too quickly.

How to defrost

Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm(1/5inch) thick.

Set the thermostat dial to “OFF”. Remove foods. Keep drip tray in place. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to remove ice/frost from the evaporator. After defrosting empty water from drip tray, return the thermostat dial to the desired position to start refrigerating again.

Select a place with strong level floor.

Allow 5 inches of space between the refrigerator’s side and the wall.
