Ice cube tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove ice cubes. If the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the evaporator surface, run a little water over the tray. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to remove ice cube tray because this may damage the evaporator. (Fig. D)

Care and Maintenance
Cooling System
This refrigerator is inclusive of a “frost free” type cooling system, which means you never have to defrost the freezer compartment. Defrosting is done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost timer factory programmed to operate (cycle) approximately every 8 hours. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located directly above the compressor from where it evaporates.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water, or a mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
Setting the Thermostat
The thermostat setting can be adjusted from #1 (minimum setting) through Maximum (coldest setting) We recommend setting the thermostat at # 4 (medium setting) If however you find this setting inappropriate for your cooling requirements, adjust as needed by rotating the thermostat dial. The thermostat dial is located on the front top section of the refrigerator compartment. The thermostat controls temperature for both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting. During longer absences;
(a)remove all foods,
(b)disconnect from electrical outlet,
(c)clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan,
(d)leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the
Correct Use of the Refrigerator
•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
•Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
•Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
•Don’t overload the cabinet.
•Don’t open the door unless necessary.
•Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Compartment
•Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent
air circulation.
•Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped individually
and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.
•Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
•Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
Vegetable Crisper
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry out rapidly. The humidity level inside the crisper drawer can be controlled by adjusting the “damper” control (white slider) located on the front of the drawer.

Pantalla Digital
La pantalla digital muestra la temperatura 'real' del refrigerador y del congelador simultáneamente. Inicialmente, la temperatura se muestra en grados Fahrenheit (°F), para verla en Celsius (°C), presione una vez el botón de cambio. Cada vez que presione el botón de cambio, la pantalla cambiará de una opción de temperatura a la otra. En situaciones de baja luz, puede activar la iluminación interna, sin modificar la temperatura indicada, presionando los botones ++ o -- .
Ajuste del Termostato
El ajuste inicial del termostato para el refrigerador es de 41°F (5°C) y de 5°F (-15°C) para el congelador. Sin embargo, si estos ajustes no satisfacen sus necesidades, puede ajustar la temperatura como lo desee desde 36°F (2°C) hasta 50°F (10°C) para el compartimiento del refrigerador y desde 0°F (-18°C) hasta 10°F (-18°C) para el compartimiento del congelador.
Para ajustar la temperatura, seleccione primero el compartimiento que desea cambiar presionando la tecla para el refrigerador y la tecla para el congelador. Una vez que haya seleccionado el compartimiento, se encenderá la iluminación interna y la temperatura comenzará a parpadear, indicando el compartimiento seleccionado para el cambio. Cada vez que presione la tecla ++ (aumento de temperatura) o --(descenso de temperatura) del panel de control, la temperatura aumentará o disminuirá en incrementos de 1 grado. Una vez definida la temperatura requerida, la indicación dejará de parpadear y se apagará la iluminación interna, volviendo a mostrar la temperatura real del compartimiento.
Si se llegara a cortar la corriente, se mantienen los últimos temperatura ajustes y son reestablecidos al volver a encender la unidad.
*Observaciones:Para modificar el ajuste de temperatura, deberá presionar el correspondiente botón de ajuste una vez por cada 1º que quiera aumentar o disminuir. No se puede ajustar la temperatura manteniendo presionado el botón constantemente.
Ciclo para Descongelar
El ciclo para descongelar se activa automáticamente cada 12 horas para mantener un ambiente "Sin Escarcha" dentro de los compartimientos de su refrigerador. Si el compartimiento del refrigerador o del congelador se abren muy frecuentemente por mucho tiempo, se puede acumular escarcha rápidamente, para evitarlo deberá abrir los gabinetes sólo cuando sea necesario y por muy poco tiempo.
