Setting the Temperature Control
• Your unit has only one control for regulating the tem pe ratur e in t he c om partment. The temperature
control is located on the upper right hand side of the com partment.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature contr ol to “5.”
• The range of the temperature control is from position "0” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours, adj ust the
temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting o f “3” should be
appropriate for home or office use.
• To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control t o ”0”.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but doe s 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 t ime delay, the unit will not start.
Using Your Ice Cube Tray
• Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is positio n 5.
• Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liqui d 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 chil ler.
• The best method to get ice cubes out of the tra y is to hol d the tray u nder cold
tap water for a second.
• To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice buck et and twist slightly
The Chiller Compartment
• This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and s hort-term storage (3-4 days at
most) of some commercially frozen foods.
• The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enoug h to freeze food safely for long
periods of time and works best when the food is already fro zen.
• Be design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and m ay not keep ice cream frozen, or
freeze items.
• A colder setting may be used for these items, but other item s in the refrigerator may also be
affected.
• The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excess ive 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 M AINTENANC E 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 collec tion tray.
• To remove the water, either remove the water collection tra y and/or place a collection container
under the tray.
• Dry the water collection tray and place back under the appli ance compartment. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the therm ostat dial to the desired position. To
defrost quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the do or open. Never use a knife or other
metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
