D.STANDBY MODE OF OPERATION

will automatically switch to GAS. As soon as AC becomes available again, the control will switch back to AC operation.

3)If the CHECK indicator lamp (B) illuminates, the control has failed to ignite the burner on GAS. To reset when the CHECK indicator lamp (B) is illuminated, press the main power ON/OFF button (1) to the OFF and then ON position.

4)The difference from AUTO mode is that in MANUAL mode operation, the refrigerator will run without ther- mostat control on the energy source selected by the control system.

NOTE: The food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the refrigerator is left on in the MANUAL mode.

D.STANDBY MODE OF OPERATION

This control system contains a feature that will continue to operate the cooling system in the event of a failure of a major operating component. If the control cannot read the tempera- ture sensor and operate at the preset tempertaure, then the control will run the cooling unit continuously at the energy source available. It operates like the MANUAL mode.

The refrigerator will continue to operate in this mode indefi- nitely or until a new sensor is installed and the system is reset.

E. TO SHUT OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator may be shut off while in any mode of operation by pressing the main power ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position.

4.HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERA-

TOR

A. 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 refrigera- tor 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.

B. FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment which is on or just below the freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the 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 compartment. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.

C. ICE MAKING

Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray placed in the freezer compartment. The tray should be filled with water to within 1/4" (5mm) from the top. For faster ice making, the tray should be placed in direct contact with the freezer shelf.

To release the ice cubes, seize the tray with both hands and twist the tray. Cubes not required should be replaced in the tray. Refill the tray with water and replace the tray on the freezer shelf.

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 anticipated need for ice, but be sure to move the thermostat back to normal setting, usually about mid-setting when the ice is formed. Food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the setting is left on "MANUAL" position.

C. DEFROSTING

Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator, and the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it on the freezer shelf.

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 shelf. They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
