Use and Care Guide

The setting of the thermostat is critical and we recommend it be adjusted to maintain a

dry frost on the cooling fins (approx. 38° Fahrenheit or 3° Celsius). Adjust the

thermostat knob closer to “Max” (clockwise) when the outside temperature rises.

NOTE: When first turning the refrigerator on, move refrigerator controls to

maximum, which is the recommended initial setting. After 24 hours, adjust the controls

as needed.

How to Use the Refrigerator

FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is

necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. The coldest areas

in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The

warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing

different types of food in the refrigerator.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the

compartment which is at the bottom. Frozen vegetables may be stored in any part of

the compartment.

This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish,

whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment

provided they are pre-cooled in the refrigerator. To prevent food from drying out,

keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.

Defrosting

Frost will gradually accumulate inside the refrigerator and freezer surfaces. It must not

be not allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely affects the

refrigerator performance. Check the formation of frost every couple of weeks and

when it exceeds 1/2” thick or more defrost the refrigerator.

Shut off and empty the refrigerator, leaving the fridge and the freezer doors open.

Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it in

the freezer compartment. You can also open the doors without shutting off the

appliance to defrost the fridge; the process will just be a bit slower.
