IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DEFROSTING

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button” (semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost button located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not turn the control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is initiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the “Push Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and resume normal operating conditions at the same temperature setting. NOTE: If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in) accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually” pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You must either let the defrost cycle run its course or:

•Hold a dishcloth soaked in hot water against the thermostat capillary line and bracket, located on the underside of the freezer compartment. The heat transfer from the cloth will cause a temperature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing line), causing the internal contacts to close. This will resume normal operating conditions. It may take several minutes and/or repeat applications before the push button will release.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 1/4” (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will also speed up the process.

Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch condensed water during defrosting. Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to defrost/remove ice from the evaporator/freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.

FEATURES

1)Thermostat Dial: For controlling the temperature inside the refrigerator. Turns the motor on as soon as the temperature rises above the desired level.

2)Freezer Compartment with Freezer Door: Separate freezer section holds ice cube tray and small items.

3)Ice Cube Tray: Ice cubes are easily removed from tray.

4)Plastic Coated Shelves: Odor resistant, rustproof, and removable for easy cleaning.

5)Drip Tray: Catches the water that drips off the evaporator when defrosting.

6)Magnetic Gasket: Tight fitting door seal keeps all the cool air locked inside.

7)Bottle Rack: For tall, medium, and large bottles, cans or jars.

ICE CUBE TRAY 3

Ice cube tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove ice cubes. If the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the evaporator surface, run a little water over the tray. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to remove ice cube tray as this may damage the evaporator.
