OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted
by turning the thermostat dial.
The higher numbers indicate the coldest setting.
The lower numbers indicate the warmest setting.
The "O" position will turn off the cooling function.
Internal temperature of the appliance can vary
based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items
stored and how frequently the door is opened.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is an adjustable foot on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.
1. Turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise until
the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the
cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling foot clockwise until the
appliance is level.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
The freezer in this appliance is equipped with
a manual defrost system. The freezer should
be defrosted approximately every six months
or any time the layer of frost inside the freezer
compartment reaches 6 mm (1/4") thick. Defrosting
may take a few hours, depending on the amount
of accumulated ice and the ambient indoor
temperature.
To begin the defrosting process, remove all food
from the appliance and unplug it from the power
source. The ice from the freezer section will melt
and drain into a pan above the compressor where it
will evaporate. To speed up the defrosting process,
leave the doors open.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting
process to avoid water spilling and causing damage
to fl ooring or counter tops.
Once defrosting is complete, set the thermostat
control to the maximum setting and allow the
appliance to run empty for approximately 2 - 3
hours before returning to the desired setting and
replacing food.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas
lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
