FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside.

Never

put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool them ﬁ rst.

he food storage compartment is completely closed and

unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required

low temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods hav-

ing a strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be

covered.

Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their

crispness.

The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cool-

ing ﬁ ns and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer ar-

eas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered

when placing different types of food in the refrigerator.

Arrange all food in the unit to allow for free air circulation.

Do not overpack because a stuffed refrigerator must work

harder and will have higher cabinet temperatures.

Do not leave the unit’s door open any longer than necessary.

This will reduce frost formation and increase the efﬁ ciency

of the refrigerator.

OPERATING THE REFRIGERATOR

STARTUP

Before starting the refrigerator:

Check that all the manual gas valves are in the ON position.

Make sure that a continuous 12V DC supply is available for

the electronic control to function.

To start the refrigerator:

Press the ON/OFF button.

Select operation mode:

AUTO mode (AC and GAS)

Press the AUTO/GAS mode selector button

(if not already on).

GAS mode (gas operation only)

Press the AUTO/GAS mode selector button to turn

off the AUTO mode (if not already off).

•

ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT

The thermostat controls both the gas and electric operation.

Thus it is not necessary to reset each time a different energy

source is employed. The adjustable thermostat ranges from

1 - 5 where 5 signiﬁ es the coldest temperature setting. After

the initial start-up, adjust the thermostat by pressing the TEMP.

SET button repeatedly until the desired setting is displayed.

TURNING OFF THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator may be shut off while in any mode of opera-

tion by pressing the main power ON/OFF button (OFF

position). This shuts off all DC power to the refrigerator, in-

cluding the interior light.

If the refrigerator will not be in operation for a period of weeks,

it should be emptied, defrosted, cleaned and the doors left ajar.

The ice trays should also be dried and kept outside the cabinet.

STORAGE COMPARTMENTS

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing

of food.

To prevent food from drying out, keep it in covered dishes,

containers, plastic bags or wrapped in aluminum foil.

Meat or ﬁ sh, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the

frozen food storage compartment provided they are pre-

cooled ﬁ rst in the refrigerator. They can be stored about

three times longer in the frozen food compartment as com-

pared to the fresh food compartment.

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in

the coldest part of the compartment, which is at the bottom

of the aluminum liner.

Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compart-

ment.

To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce the efﬁ ciency,

wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the compart-

ment.

Ice cubes

Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment.

Place the

trays in direct contact with the bottom of the freezer compart-

ment. Ice will be made more rapidly if f the thermostat is set at

its highest position, but be sure to move the thermostat back

to normal setting when the ice is formed; the refrigerator might

otherwise become too cold.

•

DO NOT store explosive substances in the refrig-

erator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether

or the like.
