REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (cont.)
Check that the door is aligned horizontally and vertically with the perimeter of the cabinet opening
before tightening the top hinge. After tightening, adjust the leveling feet if necessary to align the door
evenly with the floor.
CAUTION! If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for ease of doing the
reversal, wait for 24 hours before plugging it in. Plugging in sooner may result in permanent damage
to the cooling system.
FEATURES AND USE
Holder Bars
The inside of the refrigerator door is quipped with holder bars to keep food packages, bottles and cans
securely in place on the door shelves.
Initial Use
To reach the set coldness level when operating the refrigerator for the first time, run it without food load
until you hear the compressor stop. This usually takes 2 to 3 hours. Once the set temperature is
reached, load food into the refrigerator.
NOTE - If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait
24 hours before plugging it in.
Temperature Control
- The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to
recommended setting (3) and give unit time to cool down completely before
adding food. If food does not cool to your satisfaction, turn dial past 3 to increase
coldness or turn dial back from 3 to decrease coldness.
- Turning dial to colder setting will increase the freezing capability of the freezer
compartment, also increases the coldness of the refrigerator section.
NOTE - Turning the temperature control knob to the 0 position will stop the cooling cycle, but does not
shut off power to the unit.
Defrosting the Freezer
WARNING!
- The appliance must be unplugged when defrosting to avoid the risk of electrical
shock.
- Do not use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost from the refrigerator
interior, as damage to the refrigerant tubing may occur. Tubing damage may allow
flammable refrigerant gas leakage, which can result in injury to persons.
Defrosting is needed when the frost layer on the evaporator reaches 3 to 4 mm. Press the defrost
button in the middle of temperature control knob, the refrigerator will begin to defrost. When the
defrosting has ended, the thermostat will switch on automatically, and the refrigerator will start working
again.
CAUTION - Do not use boiling water to melt frost accumulation on freezer walls, as it may damage
plastic parts.
