OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TEMPERATURE SELECTION The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial. The thicker, darker part of the blue line is the coldest setting. The thinner, lighter part of the blue line is the warmest setting. The "O" position will turn off the cooling function. If the temperature control knob adjusts to the maximum setting,the compressor may run continuously. It's a coldest mode. Please do not adjust to the maximum setting frequently. Internal temperature of the appliance can vary based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items stored and how frequently the door is opened. LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS There is an adjustable foot on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level. 1. Turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet. 2. Slowly turn the leveling foot clockwise until the appliance is level. DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE This refrigerator is equipped with a "Push Button"defrost system. To activate the defrost cycle, push the red defrost button located on the center ofthe thermostat dial. The defrost cycle is initiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the red button will release and the refrigerator will resume normal operating conditions. Note:If the red defrost button is pressed accidentally, it is not possible to manually deactivate the defrost cycle. The defrost cycle must be allowed to run its course. Defrosting the refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 6 mm (1/4") thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section and leave the door open for a short period of time. Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting process to avoid water spilling and causing damage to flooring or counter tops. Important:Remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating conditions resume. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch condensed water during defrosting. Note:Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue operation if the freezer compartment is pierced. 3
