Using Your Ice Cube Tray
• Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position “MAX”.
• Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer to freeze properly.
• Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.
• The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.
• To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly
Freezing Fresh Foods
• Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foods.
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it tight.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.
• Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
• When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.
• It is extremely important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
• If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary
Moving Your Appliance
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Replacing Your Light Bulb
NOTE:
All parts removed must be saved to do the replacement of the light bulb.
Before removing the light bulb, either turn off the appliance or disconnect the electricity leading into the appliance at the main power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the wall.
• Pull down to remove the lamp cover.
• Unscrew the bulb.
• Replace with a 15-watt bulb that is the same shape and size.
