Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the refrigerator so
choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on ambient
conditions.
In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light still works).
The temperature inside the refrigerator also depends on how often you open the
door.
In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the
bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to
operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water
bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.
NOTES:
1. The glass shelves are adjustable. These shelves stop short an inch before the back
wall, which is essential for air flow and the proper operation of the automatic defrost
system. Do not block these gaps.
2. Interior lighting is controlled by a switch that is activated by the opening and closing of
the refrigerator door.
3. If the refrigerator is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
Your all-refrigerator operates with an automatic defrost system, so the refrigerator
defrosts itself. While the compressor is operating, ice will build up along the cold rear
wall (the evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor's off-cycle, ice will
melt, drip down, collect in the trough at the bottom and drain through a small hole into a
tray above the compressor; where the compressor's heat will evaporate the water. If you
notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try adjusting the thermostat to a slightly
warmer setting. Be sure that the door gasket is sealing well and that there is no
obstruction of the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.
