Use and Care Guide

Temperature Controls

NOTE: Due to the nature of a gas operated absorption fridge, temperatures in the

fridge compartment will drop to freezing even on the lowest setting when the ambient

temperature surrounding the fridge drops to or below 60° F/ 15.0° C overnight and

will freeze your food or drink products. An absorption fridge is always cooling when

operating, as the ambient drops surrounding the appliance so does the temperature

inside the fridge.

COOL DOWN PERIOD

To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for

at least 8 hours before loading it with food.

REFRIGERATOR CONTROL

NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for

the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

• Adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small increments,

allowing the temperature to stabilize.

• For colder temperatures, turn the knob clockwise.

• For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards counter-clockwise

Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments.

Remember there is no fan to circulate the air in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments as in an electric fridge. For good circulation, do not block the cooling

fins and try to maintain a temperature of 38° F or 4°C in the fridge

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.
