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.
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.
