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 item s 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.
