OPERATING YOUR UNIT

Setting the Temperature Control

•Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment.

•The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5.”

•The range of the temperature control is from position "0” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.

•To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”0”.

NOTE:

Turning the temperature control to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.

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 unit will not start.

Using Your Ice Cube Tray

•Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position 5.

•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 chiller compartment to freeze properly.

•Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the chiller.

•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

The Chiller Compartment

•This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at most) of some commercially frozen foods.

•The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.

•Be design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or freeze items.

•A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be affected.

•The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 inch thick.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting Your Unit

•Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to “0” position.

•Remove frozen or perishable foods from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

•During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water collection tray.

•To remove the water, either remove the water collection tray and/or place a collection container under the tray.

•Dry the water collection tray and place back under the appliance compartment. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
