HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their crispness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.
When all the frost has melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to the COLDEST temperature setting for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired setting, usually at mid setting.
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gasket, ice tray and shelves. NEVER use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean these parts, as the protective surfaces will be damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator clean.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the bottom of the aluminum liner. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compartment. This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled first in the refrigerator. They can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared to the fresh food compartment. To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil. Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. For faster ice making, the trays should be placed in direct contact with the bottom of the freezer compartment. Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its highest position. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before the anticipated need for ice, but be sure to move back to normal setting, usually about mid setting when the ice is formed. Food in the lower compartment may be frozen if the setting is left on �COLDEST� position. Total Refrigerated Volume 4 cu.ft.
SHUT- OFF (STORAGE PROCEDURE)
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/ OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks, it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left ajar. The ice trays should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.
! WARNING
DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrigerator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether or the like. NOTE: Sodium chromate is used for corrosion protection (less than 2 weight % of the coolant).
DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator, and the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice trays with hot water and placing them in the freezer compartment.
! CAUTION
DO NOT use a hot air blower. Permanent damage could result from warping the metal or plastic parts. DO NOT use a knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to remove frost from the freezer compartment. They can create a leak in the ammonia system.
