upper right hand corner of the interior 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.

•
position "1" to "7". Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The setting of
be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
• 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

The Chiller Compartment

This compartment is designed for the ice making and short-term storage of some commercially

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.
