OPERATING YOUR UNIT Setting the Temperature Control ? Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the lower unit. ? The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.” ? The range of the temperature control is from position "1” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “4” should be appropriate for use. • To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”. NOTE: • Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit. • If the uni t is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Unit ? Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelves, and trays. ? Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. ? Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution. ? The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. ? Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts. ? Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury. 11 Automatic Defrosting There is no need to defrost the refrigerator. Defrost water collects and passes thru the drain outlet in the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates. NOTE: • If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start. Power Failure Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food. Vacation Time ? Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks. ? Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary. Moving Your Unit ? Remove all the food. ? Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit. ? Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage. ? Tape the door shut. ? Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of unit with a blanket, or similar item. Energy Saving Tips ? The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight. ? Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. ? Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit. ? Unit storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient. ? Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible. Security Lock Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the user’s guide. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counter clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put in a secure place for safekeeping. 12 PROBLEMS WITH YOUR UNIT You can solve many common unit problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call.
