OPERATING THE REFRIGERATOR Temperature Control • Your refrigerator has a separate control for regulating the temperature for each section independently. The temperature controls are located at the rear of refrigerator section. (See the graphics shown above). • The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to "coldest" and run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. • The range of the temperature controls are from position " COLD" to "COLDEST " in refrigerator section. • NOTE; • If the unit is unplugged, loses power; 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. • Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance. • Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow. • If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments. • Adjusting the temperature control in the refrigerator compartment will affect the temperature in both the refrigerator and the freezer compartment. OPERATING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT Temperature Control • Your refrigerator has a separate control for regulating the temperature for each section independently. The temperature controls are located at the rear of refrigerator section. (See the graphics shown above). • The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "COLD" in refrigerator section and "COLD" in freezer section. • The range of the temperature controls are from position "WARM" to "COLD" the coldest in refrigerator section and from position "WARM" the warmest to "COLD" the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.

Ice Tray To make ice, pour cool water into ice tray and place it in the freezer for two hours. To release ice cubes, twist the ice tray and the ice cubes will separate from the ice tray.
