The Chiller Compartment
• This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at
most) of some commercially frozen foods.
• The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long
periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.
• Be design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or
freeze items.
• A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be
affected.
• The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice buildup. This part is not covered
under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 inch thick.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is
delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening
direction, please call customer service for reversal instructions.
Defrosting Your Unit
• Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set
the thermostat dial to “OFF” position.
• Remove frozen or perishable foods from the chiller compartment and place it in a cooler to
protect the food.
• During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water drip tray.
• To remove the water, either remove the water drip tray and/or place a collection container under
the tray. Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the unit floor.
• Dry the water collection tray and place back under the chiller compartment. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost
quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal
instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
CAUTION:
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In add ition, never use a
sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will
void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
