FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required
low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods
having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily
should be covered. Vegetables, salads, etc. should be
covered to retain their crispness. The coldest positions in
the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom
of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door
shelves. This should be considered when placing different
types of food in the refrigerator.

COMPARTMENT COMPARTMENT
COMPARTMENT COMPARTMENT COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in
the coldest part of the compartment which is on or just
below the freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables, may be stored
in any part of the compartment.
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick
freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared,
can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment
provided they are precooled first in the refrigerator. They
can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food
compartment as compared to the fresh food compartment.
To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes,
containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.

ICE MAKING

ICE MAKING ICE MAKING ICE MAKING ICE MAKING
Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray placed in the freezer
compartment. The tray should be filled with water to within
1/4" (5mm) from the top. For faster ice making, the tray
should be placed in direct contact with the freezer shelf.
To release the ice cubes, seize the tray with both hands
and twist the tray. Cubes not required should be replaced
in the tray. Refill the tray with water and replace the tray on
the freezer shelf.
Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its
highest position. It is a good idea to do this a few hours
before the anticipated need for ice, but be sure to move the
thermostat back to normal setting, usually about mid-
setting when the ice is formed. Food in the lower compart-
ment may be frozen if the setting is left on "COLDEST"
position.
D. D. D. D. D. DEFROSTING DEFROSTING DEFROSTING DEFROSTING DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/
OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the refrigera-
tor, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator, and
the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be
reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it
on the freezer shelf.

When all frost is melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator
with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set thermostat to
the COLDEST temperature setting for a few hours. Then
reset the thermostat to the desired setting, usually at mid-
setting.
NOTE NOTE
NOTE: On these models the drip tray/cup is on the rear NOTE NOTE
side of the refrigerator.
Put the plastic drain tube in a watertight bucket or container
(access through louvered service panel on the outside of
the vehicle). As the frost melts, the water will flow into the
container. When all the frost has melted wipe up the
excess moisture and empty the accumulated water from
the bucket. Replace the drain tube to its original position.
E. E. E. E. E. CLEANING CLEANING
CLEANING CLEANING CLEANING
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted
or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the
refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only
warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gaskets, ice
trays and shelves. NEVER use strong chemicals or abra-
sives to clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be
damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator
clean.

If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of
weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the
doors left ajar. The ice tray should also be dried and kept
outside the cabinet.
