ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Adjusng the temperature control
The temperature control sha is located behind the front grill on
the right side of the cabinet. (See Figure 1, on page 4). It can be
adjusted with a at bladed screwdriver.
Inially set the control midway between the turning ranges.
Then adjust to the temperature that suits your applicaon. The
more the sha is turned clockwise, the cooler the temperature.
To turn o the refrigeraon system turn the sha counterclock-
wise unl it stops.
Defrosng Instrucons
Model 6EAR (all-refrigerator) automacally defrosts its cooling
plate during each compressor o cycle. No manual defrosng is
required.
The combinaon refrigerator / freezer (6ERF) and the freezer
(4EAF) are manual defrost models and require occasional de-
frosng. Never use a scraper or any tool that might scratch or
pierce the cooling plate. Follow these steps whenever 1/4 inch or
more of frost accumulates.
1. Set the temperature control to the “OFF” posion by turn-
ing the temperature control sha counterclockwise unl it
stops. This will turn o the refrigeraon system.
2. Remove the contents from the unit.
3. Place pans of hot water on the cooling plate if you wish to
speed up defrosng.
4. Wipe out the interior and replace the contents.
5. Set the temperature control to the desired level.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Minimize the number of door openings to prevent a gradual rise
in temperature while the power is o.
NOTE: If a power interrupon occurs, the unit may take ve (5) to
ten (10) minutes to restart.
Energy Saving Tips
The following suggesons will minimize the cost of operang
your refrigeraon appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cook-
er, dishwasher, etc.). heang air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are
not obstructed and kept clean to allow venlaon for the
refrigeraon system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When inially loading your new product, or whenever large
quanes of warm contents are placed within refrigerated
storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next
12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment
set-point temperature.
6. Maintaining a relavely full storage compartment will re-
quire less appliance run me than an empty compartment.
7. Assure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in
your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing
in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duraon of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that meets
your personal preference and provides the proper storage
for your stored contents.
11. For wine storage products:
a. When serving temperatures are not required, re-
turn the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal red
and white wine long term storage temperature of
13°C / 55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent
temperature controlled compartments, use the
lower compartment for the coldest storage /
serving temperature, (i.e.- red wines on top, white
wines in lower).
12. Minimize use of display lighng opon on glass door
products, (light stays on with door closed).
13. When on vacaon or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tempera-
ture for the stored contents.
14. Set the control to the “o” posion if cleaning the unit
requires the door to be open for an extended period of
me.
15) Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located
on the back of the unit. See page 8.
