Operating Your Refrigerator

Thermostat

The thermostat has settings from MIN to MAX, plus OFF.

MIN is the warmest. MAX is the coldest.

Initially set the thermostat to MED.

After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the thermostat to the setting that is best suited to your needs. Turning the thermostat to OFF stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

Important: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 3 minutes before restarting it or plugging it back in. It will not restart in less than 3 minutes.

Freezer Compartment and Use of the Ice Cube Trays

This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term food storage (a few days at most). This compartment is not cold enough to freeze foods safely for extended periods of time.

?To make ice cubes, fill the tray with water and place inside the compartment.

?To release ice cubes, hold tray upside down over an ice bucket or bowl, and twist tray at both ends.

?If ice cube tray freezes to the floor, pour a little warm water around it to loosen it. Do not use boiling water which can damage plastic parts, or sharp metal objects such as a knife or screwdriver which can damage the cooling system tubing.

Wash tray in lukewarm water only. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Shelving

The refrigerator has a shelf that can be moved to different levels to suit your food storage needs. The door shelves provide storage for small and large items and a bottle storage area for tall bottles.
