OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Temperature Control

Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the
•
temperature. The temperature control is located on the top
center of the refrigerator compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature
•
control knob to "7" and run for at least 2 hours before putting
foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly
chilled before food is put in.
The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from
•
position "1" the warmest to "7" the coldest.
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
The setting of "4" should be appropriate for home or office
refrigerator use.
Turning the temperature control knob to "0" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off
•
the power to the unit.
• NOTE;
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
•
unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
•
increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

Ice Tray

Recommended temperature control setting for ice making is "7".
•
Fill the ice cube tray (2/3 capacity) with cold water and place the tray on
•
the bottom of the chiller compartment to freeze properly.
To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist
•
slightly.
Re-set the temperature control to setting "4".
•

The Freezer Compartment

This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
•
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be
•
exceeded.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
•
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
