Operating Instructions
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob (on the ceil-
ing of the cabinet) to a desired setting.
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to
the desired cooling setting.
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of 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 "OFF" position. If
the refrigerator is not going to be used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and leave
the door partially open. This will help to prevent mold/mildew from accumulating inside the
refrigerator cabinet.
Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures, adjust
the thermostat knob accordingly. In the OFF position, the appliance does not operate (cool-
ing system is switched off,) yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you
open the refrigerator door.) Temperature in the refrigerator is dependent on how often the
door is opened.
DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposits on the inner back wall are defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation will defrost automatically (when the compressor has
cycled off). Defrost water collects inside the drain passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan
situated above the compressor from where it evaporates.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent air
circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fi sh. Meats should be wrapped individually and
placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fi sh and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fi sh should be used the same
day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packag-
es.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
