If it is necessary to use on extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that hos a 3-blode grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked roting of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical roting of the appliance.

Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus off. 1 is the warmest. 7 is the coldest. Turning the dial to O stops cooling in both the refrigeration and freezer sections. At first, set the dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.

( Note : If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.)

2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.
   

Defrosting Your Refrigerator (see fig. # 3)

• For maximum energy efficiency, 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. Your model requires you to place the drip tray under the freezer section (see Fig. 3). To defrost turn the temperature control dial to the O 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 refrigerator.
• During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may also need to be emptied during the defrost process. Do not leave unattended.
• After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature and return food .
