OPERATING YOUR UNIT Setting the Temperature Control • Your unit is designed to be used either as a freezer or a refrigerator. You can adjust the temperature control to select the refrigerator or freezer function according to the purpose of use. • To use as a refrigerator, you may set temperature accordingly by turning the dial clockwise from the "OFF" position. The temperature control is marked "FRIDGE" with a scale showing minimum cooling to the maximum cooling position. • To use as a freezer, turn the temperature control clockwise to the position marked "MAX" in area marked "FREEZER", after 24 hours, adjust the control knob the position that best suits your needs. NOTE: • Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit. • 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 unit will not start. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Defrosting Your Unit • Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to "OFF" position. • Remove frozen or perishable foods from the chiller compartment and place it in a cooler to protect the food. • During the defrost cycle, the ice will melt, place a plate or other type of container below the evaporator to collect the water. • To remove the water, remove the collection container under the evaporator. Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the unit floor. • Dry the water collection container and place back under the chiller compartment. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator. CAUTION: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling system and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper. 10
