Operating Instructions; Temperature Selection; Care And Maintenance - Sunbeam SBCR017A1BSL Guide D'utilisation Et Soins De Propriètaire

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the leveling leg located under the front side of
the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to
the position corresponding to the desired cooling setting (on
the graduated blue dial.) in Fig. A. The refrigerator tempera-
ture will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored,
and on the frequency with which the door is opened.
To turn the control to the OFF position, rotate the control
knob to "0". If the refrigerator is not being used for long peri-
ods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.
This will help to reduce mold and mildew from accumulating
inside the refrigerator. Changes in ambient room temperature
will affect internal refrigerator temperatures (choose correct
setting of the thermostat knob). In OFF (0) position, the appli-
ance does not operate (cooling system is switched off) yet
power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you
open the refrigerator door).
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 (do not turn
the control knob to zero/off). The defrost cycle is initiated
immediately. When defrosting is complete, the "Push Button"
will release (pop-out) automatically and resume normal oper-
ating 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 let the defrost cycle run its course.
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reach-
es 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 nor-
mal operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray
should be in position directly below the freezer compartment
to catch condensed water during defrosting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the 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.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the
refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
