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.
