OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to

the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the

graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature

will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored, and on

the frequency with which the door is opened.

To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control

knob to the “0” setting. After defrosting and if the refrigerator

has been left out of use for some time, set the control to

maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired posi-

tion. If the refrigerator is not to be used for long time peri-

ods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.

This will help reduce the mold/mildew from accumulating

inside the refrigerator cabinet.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg located under the refrig-

erator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROSTING

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”

(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the

defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red or blue 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 oper-

ating conditions at the same temperature 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. (or) Apply (hold) a dishcloth

soaked in hot water against the thermostat capillary line and

bracket, located on the underside of the freezer compart-

ment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth will cause a tem-

perature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing line), caus-

ing the internal contacts to close. This will resume normal

operating conditions. It may take several minutes and/or

repeat applications before the push button will release.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place

whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reach-

es 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.

Important: You must remember 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 con-

densed 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.

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.
