OPERATING YOUR UNIT

￿Setting the Temperature Control

Your unit is designed to be used either as a freezer or a refrigerator. You can adjust the temperature control to select the refrigerator or freezer function according to the purpose of use.

To use as a refrigerator, you may set temperature accordingly by turning the dial clockwise from the “OFF” position. The temperature control is marked “FRIDGE” with a scale showing minimum cooling to the maximum cooling position.

To use as a freezer, turn the temperature control clockwise to the

position marked “MAX” in area marked “FREEZER”, after 24 hours, adjust the control knob the position that best suits your needs.

NOTE:

Turning the temperature control to “OFF” 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.

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 “OFF” position.

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

During the defrost cycle, the ice will melt, place a plate or other type of container below the evaporator to collect the water.

To remove the water, remove the collection container under the evaporator. Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the unit floor.

Dry the water collection container and place back under the chiller 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.

CAUTION:

Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
