Leveling
Warning: Operating refrigerator outside of the cooling system specification of 3 degrees off level
side-to-side and 6 degrees off level front-to-back can cause irreparable damage to cooling system
and can create a risk for personal injury and property damage. Level vehicle before operating
refrigerator.
Comfortable vehicle leveling is well within the refrigerator’s operating requirements of 3 degrees off level side-to-side and
6 degrees off level front-to-back (looking at the front of the refrigerator). Continued operation outside of these limits can
result in irreparable damage to the cooling system.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is not intended for quick freezing of foods; it retains food in a frozen state. The recessed bottom
helps to prevent the escape of cold air when the freezer door is opened. The freezer shelf can be adjusted or removed to meet
your storage needs.
Fresh Food Compartment
The fresh food compartment stores and cools food.
For best cooling performance, air must be free to circulate within the fresh food compartment.
Do not cover the shelves with
paper, plastic, etc.
To reduce frost formation on the cooling fins, cover liquids and moist foods, do not place hot foods in the compartment, and
do not leave the door open longer than needed.
Allow the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours before loading foods. Loading a warm refrigerator with warm food increases the
cool down period.
Defrosting and Cleaning the Refrigerator Interior
Your refrigerator is not frost free and will require periodic defrosting. To defrost, turn the refrigerator off. Empty the freezer
and the fresh food compartments. Placing a pan of hot water in the freezer will reduce the defrosting time. Leave the drip tray
under the cooling fins. After frost has melted, empty the drip tray and clean the refrigerator.
Add a small quantity of mild dish detergent to lukewarm water and wash the interior of the refrigerator.
Do not use abrasive
cleansers; they can damage the interior surfaces of the refrigerator. Rinsing both compartments in a solution of baking
soda and water (one table spoon of baking soda to one quart of water) will freshen the interiors and neutralize odors. Wipe
the interior with a soft dry cloth to prevent water spots. Clean the door gaskets in the same manner as the refrigerator interior.
This will help to prolong the life of the gaskets.
Crispers
The crispers, located in the bottom of the fresh food compartment, provide storage to preserve fruit and vegetable freshness.
Wrap vegetables with strong odors so that their odor will not be transmitted to other foods. Always insure the crispers are
pushed in all the way.
Important!
The crispers are not dishwasher safe.
Moisture Reduction Heater
Your refrigerator is equipped with a heater that prevents moisture from forming on the center divider between the freezer
and fresh food compartment doors. This heater is activated and deactivated when the refrigerator is turned "On" and "Off".
This appliance is designed for storage of foods, storage of frozen foods, and making ice.
