HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their crispness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.
When the refrigerator is heavily loaded, it will take a longer time to lower the temperature; therefore, to get maxi- mum efficiency the refrigerator and food items should be precooled prior to loading. The shelves should not be covered with paper or plastic, and the food items should be arranged so air can circulate freely.
If you need more space in the refrigerator you can lift up the front of the second shelf from the top and push the shelf in, the shelf will fall down against the finned evapo- rator. This shelf cannot be relocated to a different posi- tion within the refrigerator.
The middle shelf is a sliding shelf, to slide out grasp the front of the shelf and pull forward. Push the shelf in to return to original position. This shelf cannot be relocated to a different position within the refrigerator.
The lower door shelf is designed for large containers or bottles
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick- freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled first in the refrigerator. They can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared to the fresh food compart- ment. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in cov- ered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in alu- minum foil.
Total Refrigerated Volume 14.0 cu.ft.
! CAUTION
DO NOT use a hot air blower. Permanent damage could result from warping the metal or plastic parts. DO NOT use a knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to remove frost from the freezer shelves. They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
Freezer door
The freezer door has three wire door baskets for frozen food items, such as bagged vegetable.
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment has two sliding wire baskets for more convenient access to the frozen foods.
CLEANING
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is de- frosted or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, ice trays and shelves. NEVER use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts, as the protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean.
SHUT OFF - STORAGE PROCEDURE
Switch off the refrigerator with the main power ON/OFF button.
If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left ajar. The ice trays should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
! WARNING
DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrig- erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether or the like.
