Operating Instructions
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding
to the desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature
Min
Max
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 the "0" setting. After
defrosting and if the refrigerator has been left out of use for some time, set the control to
maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning it to the desired position. If the refrigerator is not
to be used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.
This will help reduce the mold/mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.

DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
This refrigerator is equipped with a "Push Button" (semi-automatic) defrost system. To activate the defrost cycle, simply
push (in) the red defrost button located on the centre of the knob/dial (do not turn the control knob/dial to the zero/off
position). 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 but-
ton (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 reaches 1/4" (3-5
mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor tempera-
ture. 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 con-
densed water during defrosting, empty the drip tray after defrosting has completed.
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
manufacturer's warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
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 reduce mold and mildew build-up.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
