M clockwise ,plus“OFF'’.
Initially set the dial to the center position. After using the refrigerator for a
full day, adjust the dial to the setting that is best suited to your needs. Turning
the control to thr^OFF” stops the cooling cycle You must allow at least 3
minutes before starting it again.

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes
1/4 inch thick. Remove food and ice tray and set temperature control dial to
"OFF".
Never use any sharp or metallic instrument to remove ice/frost as it may
damage the cooling coils. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
When defrosting is completed,remove drip tray and empty water from the drip
tray. Then turn temperature dial to desired setting and return food and ice
tray to the refrigerator.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open.
Also, pouring warm water on the frosted part will help. Do not use boiling
water as it may damage plastic parts.
