STARTING When your refrigerator is first installed, allow it 2-3 hours to stabili\ ze at normal operating temperature prior to filling it with fresh food. If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

To remove ice cubes easily , run water on the tray before twisting. 5 OPERA TIONS Your refrigerator has a control that let you regulate the temperature in the refrigerator . Initially , set the control at 4. For colder temperature, adjust the control to a higher number , and for warmer temperature, adjust the control to a lower number . TIP 076 5 4 3 2 1
DEFROSTING ●It is necessary to regularly defrost your refrigerator in order to ensur\ e efficient operation. The frost on the surface of the evaporator should not exceed a quarter o\ f an inch(6mm) before defrosting. ●T o defrost, turn the control to 0. ●Before you start the defrosting operation, remove food from the evaporat\ or and place the drip tray in its proper position. ●When defrosting is completed, remove the drip tray , empty water, dry and put it back to its normal position.Turn the control dial to a desired position. 6 OPERA TION STORING FOOD ●Store fresh food in the refrigerator . How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor . ●Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as ban\ anas, pineapples, and melons. ●Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrige\ rator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills! ●When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a \ lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients. ●Do not open the door frequently . Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator , causing temperatures to rise. ●Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen. ●Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and\ nutrition. ●Always clean food prior to refrigeration. V egetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD ST ORAGE CAUTION:Never use any sharp or metallic instruments to remove ice, frost or ice \ tray from the evaporator .
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Before you clean, however , remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands. EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator . Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry . INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the power supply , and remove food and shelves, trays etc. W ash all compartment and shelves, trays etc. with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry . 7 CLEANING WARNINGAlways remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts. Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing a electric shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids. GENERAL INFORMA TION VACA TION TIME During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly , and leave the door OPEN to prevent odor formation. POWER F AILURE Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not af fect your refrigerator temperatures. However , you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is of f. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. IF YOU MOVE Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator . T o avoid damaging the leveling screw(s), turn them all the way into the base. ANTI-CONDENSA TION PIPE The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Dont be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove refrigerator shelves. 3. Remove the lamp by turning it counterclockwise. 4. Assemble in reverse order of disassembl y.
