OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Ø Setting the Temperature Control
Your unit has only one c o nt rol f or r egu lat ing the temperature in t he c ompartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6”.
The range of the temperatur e control is from position "0” to “6”. Af ter 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”0”.
NOTE:
§ Turning the tem perature control to “0” pos ition stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
§ If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
Ø 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
Ø 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.
Ø Defrosting Your Unit
Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Simply press the DEFROST button in the middle of the temperature control knob, the refrigerator will then begin to defrost. Once the defrost cycle has completed, the refrigerator will return to normal operation automatically.
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 addition, 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.
