APPLIANCE OPERATION
FF6- FF7– FF8—SCR600 – AL7 Series, with no freezer compartment.
DEFROST SYSTEM, OPERATION AND SHELF ADJUSTMENT - All models of the above series are all-
refrigerators, with no freezer compartment and an auto-defrost system. During the compressor operation, ice will
build along the rear cold wall (the evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s off-cycle, ice will melt,
drip down, collect in the trough at the bottom and drain through the small hole into a tray above the compressor;
where the compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If you notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try setting
the thermostat to a slightly warmer setting; be sure that the gasket is sealing well – that there is no obstruction of the
drain hole in the bottom rear of these units. Models with black cabinets include glass shelves. These shelves stop
short an inch before the back wall, which is essential for air flow and the automatic defrost system. Do not block with
food or containers. All models have removable easily adjustable shelves. To remove a shelf, simply lift the rear of the
shelf out of its locking position and slide the shelves forward. Replace shelves the same way, being sure they lock
into place. The thermostat of these units is located on the right hand side top, as you face the refrigerator. Turn
clockwise for colder operation, and counter clockwise to save energy and increase the temperature. The light on the
FF6models is controlled by an automatic plunger switch whenever the door is opened. Models with glass doors and
flat door liners have a rocker switch to manually turn the light on or off. The light should be kept off when the door is
closed to save energy and help keep interior temperatures lower.
CT67—AL650 - CT66— Series with both a refrigerator and freezer section.
DEFROST SYSTEM, OPERATION AND SHELF ADJUSTMENT - Models above are refrigerator-freezer
combinations with a manual defrost freezer section and an automatic defrost fresh-food section. When ice builds to ½
inch around the freezer; empty the contents of the whole unit and defrost carefully (DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS)
following directions earlier in this manual. The fresh food section will defrost itself, exactly like the models in the
previous section. The freezer in this unit is rated four stars, which makes it suitable for ice-cream and short term
storage of meats and other perishable items. For best storage, be sure not to over-pack and assure the freezer door
closes fully. Shelves adjust the same as the section above. Models with black cabinets as well as CT67 models
include glass shelves. These shelves stop short an inch before the back wall, which is essential for air flow and the
automatic defrost system. Do not block with food or containers. The thermostat of these units is located on the right
hand side, top, as you face the refrigerator. Turn clockwise for colder operation, and counter clockwise to save
energy and increase the temperature. Lights on these units are all controlled by an automatic plunger type switch.
SWC6G Series Wine Cellars
These wine cellars are fully automatic defrost (see description of the defrost system under Model FF6 series). There
is a light in the upper right corner, controlled by a rocker switch. Base models of the SWC6G series have chrome
plated shelves, while some models are equipped with optional flat wire shelves or wooden shelves. For maximum
capacity, it is possible to lay wine bottles at the rear of the shelves cross-wise, behind the bottles facing forward.
Keep one inch of clearance behind the shelves and the rear wall for air circulation and the defrost system. Glass
doors should be cleaned with non-abrasive glass cleaners, and it is recommended that the interiors be cleaned with
only a baking soda –water- mix so odors are not left behind that can be absorbed by corks. These models are one
temperature zone only, although the lower shelves are normally a few degrees colder than the upper shelves.
