REFRIGERATOR VOLUME
Total refrigerated volume:

FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The food storage compartment is completely closed and
unventilated, which is necessary to maintain the required low
temperature for food storage. Consequently, foods having a
strong odor or those that absorb odors easily should be cov-
ered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their
crispness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the
cooling ns and at the bottom of the refrigerator. The warmer
areas are on the upper door shelves. This should be considered
when
placing different types of food in the refrigerator. One half of
the lower door shelf is equipped with ngers. The ngers are
designed to prevent large containers half-gallon of milk or
juice) from shifting or spilling while traveling.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
This compartment is not designed for deep or quick freezing of
food.
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 freezer
compartment.
Meat or sh, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the
frozen food storage compartment provided they are pre-
cooled in the refrigerator. They can be stored about three
times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared
to the fresh food compartment. To prevent food from drying
out, keep it in covered dishes, containers, plastic bags or
wrapped in aluminum foil.
ICE MAKING
Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray. Fill the tray with water
to within 1/4 inch (5mm) from the top. For faster ice making,
place the tray in direct contact with the freezer shelf. To release
the ice cubes, hold the tray with both hands and twist the tray.
Preferable, unused cubes should be replaced in the tray. Rell
the tray with water and place the tray on the freezer shelf.
Ice making is accelerated if the thermostat knob (B) is turned
to MAX. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before you
require ice. Be sure to turn the thermostat back to normal set-
ting when the ice is formed; the refrigerator might otherwise
become too cold.

DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by turning knob (A) to OFF.
Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray under
the nned evaporator.
Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting
time can be reduced by lling the ice tray with hot
water and placing it on the freezer shelf.
When all the frost has melted, empty the drip tray
and dry the interior of the refrigerator with a clean
cloth.
Replace the drip tray and ice tray. Replace all food
and set the thermostat to MAX for a few hours.
Then, reset the thermostat to its normal position.

PRODUCT CARE
CLEANING
Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator is
usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. To clean
the interior lining of the refrigerator, use lukewarm, weak soda
solution. Use only warm water to clean the nned evaporator,
gasket, ice tray and shelves. Never use strong chemicals or
abrasive cleaning materials on any part of the refrigerator!
Keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean. Check the
lower vent, upper vent and area between these openings for any
obstructions such as bird/insect nests, spider webs, etc. Clean
the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft bristled
brush to dust off the coils. It is important to keep the refrigera-
tor area free from combustible material, gasoline and other
ammable vapors or liquids.
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Never store explosive
substances in the refrigerator, such as cigarette
lighter fuel, gasoline, ether or the like. Failure
to heed this warning could cause an explosion
resulting in death or severe personal injury.
Do not use:
A knife or an ice pick, or other sharp tools to
remove frost from the freezer shelves. It can
create a leak in the ammonia system.
A hot air blower. Permanent damage could result
from warping the metal or plastic parts.
