3 To turn off your refrigerator, set the thermostat to 0.
Using the freezer compartment
• The freezer compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time
should not be exceeded. If there are instructions on the package, carefully
follow those instructions regarding storage times.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
Making ice
1 Fill the ice tray to 2/3 capacity and place it on the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
2 Turn the temperature control to 7.
3 Remove the ice tray when the water is frozen and reset the temperature
control to 4.
4 Remove the ice from the ice tray over an ice bucket by twisting slightly.
Defrosting the freezer
This refrigerator is not designed to defrost automatically. In order to prevent
damage to the interior liner, you should manually defrost it every three months, or
when ice/frost is approximately 1/4” thick inside the freezer compartment.
1 Set the thermostat dial to 0 and remove everything from the freezer.
2 Leave the refrigerator door closed.
3 Leave the freezer door open to allow accumulated ice and frost to melt.
Remove large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or electric heating
devices to melt the accumulated ice.
4 After defrosting, remove accumulated ice and water and wipe the freezer
compartment dry with a soft cloth. In the event that ice is not visibly present
in the freezer compartment, please allow the evaporator located behind the
freezer wall to completely defrost for approximately two hours before
restarting the refrigerator. See Setting the thermostat on page 9 for starting
instructions.
Notes:
• Turning the thermostat to 0 stops the cooling cycle but doesn’t shut off the power
to your refrigerator.
• If your refrigerator is unplugged or loses power, you must wait three to five
minutes before restarting it. If you try to restart it before this time delay, your
refrigerator won’t start.
• Large amounts of food lower the cooling efficiency of your refrigerator.
• When changing the thermostat setting, adjust it one increment at a time. Wait
several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
