TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
•
The cabinet temperature is controlled by a thermostat located at the back of the
unit, to the left of the compressor. Rotate the dial to adjust the cabinet temperature.
•
The optimum position of the thermostat depends on the temperature you prefer.
Cabinet temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, the number of stored items and the placement of the refrigerator. You can
adjust the thermostat according to current conditions.
•
Generally, the thermostat knob is set at the midpoint of the dial. When room
temperature is lower than usual, place the dial at a lower setting. Conversely, if the
room temperature is higher than normal, adjust the thermostat to a higher setting.
DEFROSTING
This appliance's static cooling system requires manual defrosting. When the frost and
ice layer in the refrigerator reaches a thickness of 1/8" to 1/4", it is necessary to defrost
the unit.
1. First turn the thermostat knob to OFF and disconnect the power supply. Remove the
contents of the refrigerator and temporarily store them in another refrigerator or
cooler.
2. Place a tray or other suitable container on the compartment floor to collect the defrost
water. Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
3. When the frost and ice have melted, dump the defrost water and dry the interior of the
refrigerator thoroughly with paper towels or a soft, clean cloth.
4. Plug in the refrigerator and reset the thermostat to its normal setting.
5. Close the door and let the unit cool down before returning contents to the refrigerator.
If you notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try setting the temperature slightly
higher (i.e., a lower setting of the thermostat). Also, be sure that the door gasket is
sealing well.
FOOD STORAGE
•
Hot food should not be stored until it has completely cooled.
•
In order to allow air to circulate, when placing food in the refrigerator, allow proper
spacing between food items. To prevent drying out and to keep odors from mixing,
pack stored food carefully.
NORMAL PHENOMENA
•
It is normal that both side panels and the top of the refrigerator be warm because of
the built-in condenser.
•
There may be condensation on the surface of the appliance when it is placed in an
area of high humidity or when the weather is hot. It resembles the moisture that
condenses on a glass of cold liquid during summer. Dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
•
Occasionally the sound of a gurgling liquid can be heard. This is the refrigerant
flowing through the condensing tubes. The sound can also be heard when the
refrigerator stops working.
