OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Setting the Temperature Control
• To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient
temperature or intended use of the refrigerator.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to 3 or 4.
• The range of the temperature control is from position OFF to 6, with 6 being the coldest
• The range of the temperature control is from position OFF to 6, with 6 being the coldest
setting. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control if necessary, but a setting of 3
should be appropriate for most circumstances.

Chiller Compartment
This compartment is actually part of the refrigerator compartment and is not a true and separate
freezer. It can make ice cubes but may not keep other items frozen or get cold enough to freeze
them safely. You can use a colder thermostat setting to freeze certain items, but the contents of
the refrigerator may be affected.

the refrigerator may be affected.
The door of the chiller compartment is susceptible to breakage due to excessive ice build-up.
This part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches a
thickness of 1/4".

Defrosting
This appliance requires manual defrosting. The surface of the evaporator ices up when the
refrigerator is in normal use. When the frost/ice layer reaches a thickness of 1/4", the
refrigerator must be defrosted and cleaned. Otherwise, lower efficiency and high energy
consumption will result.

1. Empty the refrigerator and leave the door open.
2. Turn the thermostat to the OFF position and unplug the refrigerator.
3. Position a shallow tray on the shelf below the chiller compartment.
4. After the ice has melted, dry the unit carefully and empty the drip tray.
5. Reconnect the power and set the thermostat to its original setting; close the door.
6. Allow time for the unit to reach its normal temperature, then reload the contents.
CAUTION: Using a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost may damage the cooling system
and will void the warranty. Instead, use the ice scraper included with your appliance..
