HELPFUL HINTS ON CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE

Keep a thermometer handy. (adjust temperature control knob accordingly) Periodically monitor temperatures inside your cooler. (adjust as necessary)

Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible to avoid temperature fluctuations

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING:

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the evaporator is defrosted automat- ically. Ice build-up on the evaporator during compressor operation; will (when the compressor has cycled off) defrost automatically. Defrost water collects inside the drain trough and passes through the drain outlet in the rear wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor, where it evaporates.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:

Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning and/or servicing the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as they can damage painted surfaces. Clean the exterior cabinet with warm water and a mild detergent. Clean the interior with warm water and a mild detergent, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply.

SWITCH OFF AND/OR DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE WHEN NOT IN USE:

If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time, (vacations) set the thermostat knob to the "0" (off) position and disconnect the power cord. Take out all foods and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open to reduce mold/mildew from accumulating inside the cabinet.
