OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg located under the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored, and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control knob to the “0” setting. After defrosting and if the refrigerator has been left out of use for some time, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired posi- tion. If the refrigerator is not to be used for long time peri- ods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open. This will help reduce the mold/mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROSTING

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button” (semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost button located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not turn the control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is ini- tiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the “Push Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and resume nor- mal operating conditions at the same temperature setting.

NOTE: If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in) accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually” pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You must let the defrost cycle run its course. (or) Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked in hot water against the thermostat capillary line and bracket, located on the underside of the freezer compartment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth will cause a temperature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing line), causing the internal contacts to close. This will resume nor- mal operating conditions. It may take several minutes and/or repeat applications before the push button will release.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place

whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reach- es 1/4” (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will also speed up the process.

Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch con- densed water during defrosting.

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the

refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time, discon- nect the appliance from the electrical supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
