Understanding Normal Operating Sounds
o Bubbling or gurgling sounds and slight vibrations are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
o Sizzling or popping sounds occur during the automatic defrost
cycle.
o Dripping sounds occur as ice melts from the evaporator and flows
into the water collection tray during the automatic defrost cycle.
o C racking or popping sounds are caused by the expanding
and/ or contracting of the cooling coils during the automatic defrost
cycle.
Cleaning and General Maintenance
G eneral Interior and Exterior C abinet C leaning
1 . Prepare a cleaning solution of 3 -4 tablespoons of baking
soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth
dampened with the cleaning solution to wipe down the
interior and exterior surfaces of the cabinet.
2. Rinse with clean, warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
N o te : Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads.
These products may dissolve, damage, and/ or discolor the
cabinet finish.
Door Gasket Cleaning
1 . C lean the door gasket with a damp cloth every three
months. The gasket must be kept clean and pliable to
ensure a proper seal.
2 . Petroleum jelly lightly applied to the hinge side will keep
the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
LEVELING
The refrigerator must have all bottom corners resting firmly on
solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
N O TE: It is Very Important for your refrigerator to be leveled in
order to work properly.
To Level Your Refrigera tor:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's
level to ensure horizontal position from front-to-back and left to
right.
Temperature Control
The temperature is controlled by adjusting the temperature
control knob.
Larger numbers indicate lower temperatures, smaller
numbers indicate higher temperatures.
The O FF position will cause the compressor to stop.
During winter months the ambient temperatures are lower
and may cause excessive cooling inside the refrigerator. To
prevent this, the temperature setting knob should be set
between 4~6.
During the summer when the ambient temperatures are
higher, the temperature setting knob should be set between
3~1.
First Use
W hile operating the refrigerator for the first time, set
temperature control, leave refrigerator empty and tightly
closed until it reaches the desired temperature (this usually
takes 2 -3 hours) then load the refrigerator.
Defrosting
Defrost the freezer compartment whenever the layer of frost
on the surface of the evaporator reaches 3 or 4 mm.
During defrosting remove all food and ice cube trays. Set
the thermostat at the ''O FF'' position. Put the drip tray under
the evaporator to collect melted water. After the frost has
melted, discard the melted water and dry the interior. The
refrigerator can then be restarted by turning its thermostat to
the desired setting.
