OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Control
Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the
temperature. The temperature control is located on the
upper right hand corner of the interior compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “4” 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 "1" the warmest to "6" the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to the setting that
best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
Turning the temperature control knob to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the unit.
NOTE;
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
adjustments.
Ice Tray
Recommended temperature control setting for ice making is “6”.
Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on the
bottom of the chiller compartment to freeze properly.
To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist
slightly.
Re-set the temperature control to setting “4”.
The Chiller Compartment
This compartment is designed for the ice making and short-term storage of some commercially
frozen foods.
The temperature of the chiller compartment may not reach temperature low enough to store
frozen foods safely and works well when the food is already frozen prior to storage.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
