model may vary.

OPERATION

Clean the unit before first use (see the next section for cleaning
instructions). Plug the unit into its power source. Do not turn
on the unit if it has been moved within the past 2 hours, as the
coolant fluid needs time to settle.
The thermostat control knob for the refrigerator and the chiller
is located near the chiller compartment.
(see picture above).
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust
the thermostat control knob to the mid-
dle setting and give your refrigerator time
to cool down completely before adding
food; a full 24 hours is recommended.
After it is fully cooled, adjust the knob to best suit your needs. "1"
is the least cool and "5" is the coolest setting. However, a setting
of "3" should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
Warmer environments may be more likely to require higher set-
tings (4 or 5). Cooler or winter environments are likely to use a
lower setting.
NOTE: Turning the thermostat control knob to the "0" or "OFF"
position will stop the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
CLEANING
A clean, damp cloth with mild detergent (or a weak solution of
water and baking soda) should be used to clean the interior of
the unit after it is defrosted or before initial use. Go over once
more with a damp cloth (without soap) to ensure there is no res-
idue left inside after cleaning. For best performance, carefully
clean the door gasket/seal as well.
Do not splash water on the outside or inside of the unit when
cleaning it.
DEFROSTING
Your refrigerator may require manual defrosting. It should be
defrosted in the following scenarios:
• The refrigerator will not be used for an extended period
of time.
• An ice layer is built-up around the chiller compartment
of than 1/4 inch.
To Defrost:
1. Turn the thermostat knob to the
"OFF" position and leave the door
open.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove all food. Ideally, the food
should be placed in another refrig-
erator.
4. Place a towel or two under the re-
frigerator to collect the water from the melting frost.
5. Leave the door open until all the frost is melted. Usually,
several hours (or overnight) will suffice.
6. Clean and wipe out the interior of the unit using the in-
structions in the "cleaning" section above
