OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

•

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is
located on the top left hand corner of the refrigerator compartment

•

The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “MAX” and run for at least 2
hours before putting foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put
in.

• The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position "MIN" the warmest to "MAX" the coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “MED” should be
appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

• To turn off the refrigerator, please turn the temperature control knob to “OFF”. Please note that turning
the temperature control knob to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not disconnect the

r sup

• If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.

• Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.

• If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one increment at

a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustme

Assembling Legs

Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom corners of your
refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them
counterclockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling
legs are extended.

How to Defrost

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the freezer compartment becomes 1/8" thick. Never us a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will
cause serious damage to the product and will void the warranty). We recommend using a plastic scraper.
To defrost, remove foods and ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Make sure the drip tray is in
place and unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and
place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray and wash
the drip tray in warm water.
