HOW TO OPERATE
Starting Your New Refrigerator
1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, the interior with a
clean moist cloth.
2. Insert the power supply cord into the socket.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the door and let the refrigerator operate for 15-20
minutes.
Temperature Control
To control the internal temperature, adjust the
thermostat dial. “1” is the warmest setting. “7”
is the coldest.
The Dial may be set any place on the scale. It
does not have to be set exactly on a number.
To make ice cubes in the freezer
compartment, adjust the thermostat to the coldest setting.
Note: Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the refrigerator. The unit may fail to
operate properly if restarted too quickly.
How To Defrost
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 1/8” thick.
To defrost, simply push the defrost button. Be sure to keep the drain pan in place. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. The refrigerator will restart automatically when defrosting ends. Empty
water from the drain pan after defrosting.
Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
