VACATION AND MOVING
CARE
• When going on vacation, it is best
that you empty all the food from
your refrigerator and freezer. Set the
temperature dial to “0” and unplug
the refrigerator. Clean the unit as
per “Cleaning Method” and leave the
door open to remove any odors.
When travelling or moving the
refrigerator, always transport the unit
vertically. Moving the unit on its sides
may damage the refrigerator and/
or its compressor.TECHNICIAN. DO
NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE
REFRIGERATOR YOURSELF.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The refrigerator should be located in
the coolest area of the room, away
from heat-producing appliances
or heating ducts, and out of direct
sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room
temperature before placing in
the refrigerator. Overloading the
refrigerator forces the compressor to
run longer and thus increase energy
consumption. Foods that refrigerate
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing in
the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined
with aluminium foil, wax paper, or
paper towels. This will interfere
with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efcient.
• Organize food to reduce door
openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at
one time, and close the door as soon
as possible.
HOW TO DEFROST
(Refer to Fig A)
• For maximum energy efciency,
defrost freezer section whenever
frost accumulates to a thickness of
1/4” or more on freezer walls. Note
that frost tends to accumulate more
during the summer months.
• To defrost freezer, remove food
and ice cube tray from the freezer
section. Turn temperature control
dial to 0 position. Defrosting may
take a few hours. To speed up
defrost time, keep the door open and
place a bowl of warm water in the
freezer.
• During the defrost, water will
accumulate. Use a towel to wipe off
excess dripping water. Do not leave
unattended.
• After defrosting, empty and wipe
down the interior of the freezer. You
may now reset your refrigerator to
the desired temperature and return
food.
• Your freezer has been equipped with
an ice scraper for your convenience.
NOTE: · In case you want to speed up the
defrosting, you may put a bowl of
warm water (about 122°F) into the
refrigerator.
· Do not heat the evaporator directly
with hot water or hair dryer while
defrosting. Doing so will damage the
freezer compartment.
· Never use a sharp or metallic
instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the refrigerator and puncture
the cooling coils. It will also void the
warranty. We recommend using a
plastic scraper.
