absorption refrigerator level.)

• Heavy frost build-up on evaporator ns? To prevent frost buildup do not leave the unit’s
door open longer than necessary.
• Over packed refrigerator? The unit will have to work harder if the refrigerator is stuffed,
and results in higher cabinet temperatures. Arrange the food in the unit to allow for free
air circulation.
