4. OPERATION 4.1 Adjusting the Temperature • • • • • • • • OFF = Power off 1 = Least cool temperature setting 3 = Normal operation (suggested setting for most situations) 6 = Coldest temperature setting During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to set the thermostat on the coldest setting (6). This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature inside the cabinet.
5. CLEANING 5.1 Defrosting • • • • • 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 melts into the water drip tray. To remove the water, either remove the water drip tray and/or place a collection container under the tray.
how to do so. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. 6.4 Vacation / Storage If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, turn the thermostat to OFF position and unplug from power source. Empty all contents and clean the appliance. Leave the door ajar to prevent mold/mildew growth and unpleasant smells. 7. Trouble shooting The following issues can be handled by the user.
• • • • • • • • Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. Keep the rear (condenser) free of dust and impurities. The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliance or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer.
