Setting the Temperature Control
? Your refrigerator/freezer has only one control for regulating the temperature in the fresh food
compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the fresh
food section.
? The freezer compartment temperature is preset and cannot be controlled by the thermostat
? The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.”
? The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours,
adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “4”
shoud be appropriate for home or office refrigerator/freezer use.
? To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.
NOTE:
? Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the refrigerator/freezer.
? If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator/freezer will not
start.
Using Your Ice Cube Tray
? Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position 6.
? Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable
for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer to freeze properly.
? Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.
? The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold
tap water for a second.
? To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly
Freezing Fresh Foods
? Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account
hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the
frozen foods.
? This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
? The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded.
? Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods
manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
? Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
? Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of adequate quality and suitable for
freezing.
? Use correct packaging and wrap it tight.
? The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin
loss and dehydration of foods.
? Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
? When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions.
? Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.
? It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
? If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
