1. Before installing the
refrigerator/freezer
Be sure that the appliance is undamaged.
Report any shipping damage to your
dealer immediately.
Wash the cabinet and interior with a mild
unscented detergent and wipe dry. Do not
use abrasive scouring powder, still wool or
similar cleaning agents.
Connecting the electrical supply: see
section (7) and (8).

the thermostat to position 4 when you first

The refrigerator section
Never store hot food in the cabinet.
Remember to always wrap or place food in
sealed containers before placing into
refrigerator.
The evaporator section of the refrigerator
defrosts automatically. The melted ice
flows into a tray on top of the compressor
where it evaporates.
The freezer section
Control Panel. See fig. (1) page 7.
Deep-Freeze: Push the button (6). The
yellow light will turn on and the deep-
freezing process begins. Push the button
(6) again when the food is frozen solid, and
the yellow light will turn off. Deep-freezing
more than 6 1/2 pounds of food will require
approximately 24 hours.
It is important that the deep-freezing takes
place as quickly as possible. Therefore,
food should be at room temperature when
placed in freezer.
Consult a manual or handbook to find out
the best procedures and packaging materi-
als for deep-freezing.
Food should be arranged to allow maximum
contact with the freezing shelf. Open the
door only when necessary. The alarm light,
fig. (1) page 7 indicates when the alarm is
on. If the light is on, the alarm will sound if
the temperature is too high.
Please note that the ice cubes, if consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer,
may result in freezer-burn. Ice cubes should
be allowed to warm slightly before con-
sumption.
Defrosting
Items in the freezer will cause frost to form.
A thin layer of frost does not affect the
performance of the freezer.
Loose frost may be removed carefully with
a plastic or wooden scraper. Never use a
knife or other sharp tools. When the layer of
frost on the shelves is 1/4" - 1/2" thick, the
freezer should be defrosted.
Note: The layer of frost on the front edge of
the top-freezing shelf may grow slightly
thicker.
To Defrost:
Turn off the freezer.
Remove food and wrap in newspaper, a
blanket or similar insulating material and
store them in as cold a place as possible.
Place a bowl of hot, but not boiling, water in
the freezer.
Unfold the drain spout, attach the enclosed
extension and place a bowl under it, fig. (3)
page7.
Wipe out the cabinet with a towel or dry
cloth when the frost has melted.
