OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg located under the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

To start the refrigerator,turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the graduated black dial) in Fig.A. The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored, and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

To tum the control to the OFF" position, rotate the control

 

knob to the "0" setting. After defrosting and if the refrigerator

 

has been left out of use for some time, set the control to

 

maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired posi-

 

tion. If the refrigerator is not to be used for long time peri-

 

ods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROSTING

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place

whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reach- es 114• (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will also speed up the process.

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the

refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE

OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS

PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time, discon- nect the appliance from the electrical supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note:Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
