Defrosting

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”

(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To

activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost

button located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not

turn the control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is

initiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the

“Push Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and

resume normal operating conditions at the same tempera-

ture setting.

NOTE: If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in)

accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually”

pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You

must let the defrost cycle run its course.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place

whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment

reaches 1/4” (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few

hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and

ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting

process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section.

Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will

also speed up the process. Important: You must remem-

ber to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle

terminates and normal operating conditions resume

automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly

below the freezer compartment to catch

condensed water during defrosting.

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to

remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer

compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if

accidentally punched/pierced, will render the

refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers

warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO

CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER

COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to

maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired

position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long

period of time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical

supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to

reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before

attempting to restart the refrigerator

if operation has been interrupted.

Cleaning

To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of one

tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water. Other

cleaning options are a mild soap suds solution, or mild

detergent. Wash glass shelves in a mild detergent solu-

tion, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside

with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appli-

ance cleaner.

Vacation Time

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at its

normal setting. During longer absences,

(a) remove all foods.

(b) disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.

(defrost pan), located on the bottom of the unit.

(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of con-

densate, mold or odours.

Care and Maintenance

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you

should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take

steps to protect your food.

If You Move

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the

way into the base.

Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator

• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

• Never place spoiled foods in the unit.

• Don’t overload the unit.

• Don’t open the door unless necessary.

• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the

door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of condensation, mold or odours.
