OPERATION

REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature
level you select. The temperature control has 3 settings. COLD
is the warmest setting, COLDEST is the coldest setting.
The temperature setting is cycle change among COLD, COLDER
and COLDEST, when you push the SET button. At first, set the
panel to the COLDER indicator marking (middle setting), and al-
low 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your
need.
The power will be switched off after pressing SET button for 3
second, and the OFF indication light will be on. To switch the
power on, press the SET button for another 3 seconds.
NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted
position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging
the unit in.
The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it
is in a particularly hot environment, or if the door is opened too
frequently.
Unplugging the unit stops the cooling in both the refrigeration
and freezer sections.
NOTE
• If the unit is unplugged, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit (plugging the unit back in). If you attempt
to restart before 3 to 5 minutes, the refrigerator will not start.
• If the power goes out, the unit should restart itself when the
power comes back on.
• Large amount of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the
appliance.
• Do not place food so that it blocks an air vent, and leave ade-
quate space between food items for air flow in the cabinet.
• Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two
temperature selections.
FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your refrigerator has one vent control for regulating the
temperature in the freezer compartment. The temperature
control is located on the center of the freezer compartment's
interior back panel.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature
control knob to COLDEST and let the unit run for at least 2
hours before putting food inside. This will ensure that the
freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• The FREEZER temperature control ranges from COLD (the
warmest) to COLDEST (the coldest). Adjust this control to get
the desired temperature. The recommended factory setting is
COLDER (halfway between COLD and COLDEST).
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of
frozen food. Storage time period is up to three months.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after
purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully
follow these instructions regarding storage times.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

COOLING SYSTEM
This refrigerator is inclusive of a FROST FREE type cooling sys-
tem, which means you never have to defrost the freezer com-
partment. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located
near the compressor, where it then evaporates.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect
the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use
a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one
quart (4 cups) of water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild de-
tergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a
mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean
the outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or
appliance cleaner.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual
setting. During longer absences:
1. REMOVE ALL FOOD
2. DISCONNECT UNIT FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET
3. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO AVOID POSSIBLE FORMATIONS
OF CONDENSATION, MOLD, OR ODORS
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two, and will
not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should
minimize the number times you open the door while the pow-
er is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to
protect your food.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the re-
frigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the
way into the base.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers
