! WARNING
When all the frost has melted, dry the interior of the re-
frigerator with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the
thermostat to the COLDEST temperature setting for a
few hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired set-
ting, usually at mid setting.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted
or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the re-
frigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only
warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice
tray 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)

Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/
OFF button to the UP (OFF) position.
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.
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.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

COMPARTMENT

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed
in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the
bottom of the aluminum liner. Frozen vegetables, may
be stored in any part of the compartment.
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freez-
ing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can
be stored in the frozen food storage compartment pro-
vided 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 covered
dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum
foil.
Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment.
For faster ice making, the trays should be placed in direct
contact with the bottom of the freezer compartment.
Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at
its highest position.
It is a good idea to do this a few hours before the antici-
pated need for ice, but be sure to move back to normal
setting, usually about mid setting when the ice is formed.
Food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the set-
ting is left on “COLDEST” position.
Total Refrigerated Volume 4 cu.ft.

DEFROSTING

Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power
ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the re-
frigerator, leaving the drip tray under the finned evapo-
rator, and the cabinet and freezer doors open.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice trays
with hot water and placing them in the freezer compart-
ment.

! CAUTION

DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrig-
erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether
or the like.
NOTE: Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protec-
tion (less than 2 weight % of the coolant).
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 compartment.
They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
