OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
◇Setting the Temperature Control
●To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient
temperature or purpose of use.
●The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6.”
●The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours,
adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3”
should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
NOTE:
If the unit 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 refrigerator will not start.
◇The Chiller Compartment
●This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at most)
of some commercially frozen foods.
●The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long
periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.
●By design, this chiller compartment is NOT a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or
freeze items.
●A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be
affected.
●The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered
under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick.

metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
