HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR
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 covered. Vegetables, salads etc. should be covered to retain their crispness. The coldest positions in the refrigerator are under the cooling fins 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. When the refrigerator is heavily loaded, it will take a longer time to lower the temperature; therefore, to get maximum efficiency the refrigerator and food items should be precooled prior to loading. The shelves should not be covered with paper or plastic, and the food items should be arranged so air can circulate freely. If you need more space in the refrigerator you can lift up the front of the second shelf from the top and push the shelf in, the shelf will fall down against the finned evaporator. This shelf cannot be relocated to a different position within the refrigerator. The middle shelf is a sliding shelf, to slide out grasp the front of the shelf and pull forward. Push the shelf in to return to original position. This shelf cannot be relocated to a different position within the refrigerator. The lower door shelf is designed for large containers or bottles (1/2-gallon milk or juice).

Freezer door
The freezer door has three wire door baskets for frozen food items, such as bagged vegetable.

Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment has two sliding wire baskets for more convenient access to the frozen foods.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in the coldest part of the compartment, which is on the top freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables, may be stored in any part of the compartment. This compartment is not designed for deep or quickfreezing of food. Meat or fish, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled first 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. Total Refrigerated Volume 13.2 cu.ft.

Ice making
Ice cubes can be made in ice trays placed in the freezer compartment. For faster ice making, the trays should be placed in direct contact with the aluminum shelf. Ice will be made more rapidly if the thermostat is set at its highest position. It is a good idea to do this a few hours before the anticipated need for ice, but be sure to move the thermostat back to normal setting, usually about mid setting when the ice is formed. Food in the fresh food compartment may be frozen if the setting is left on �COLDEST� position.

DEFROSTING
Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/ OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the refrigerator, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator, and the cabinet and freezer doors open. Filling ice trays with hot water and placing them on the freezer shelves can reduce defrosting time. When all the frost has melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator and freezer with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set the thermostat to the COLDEST temperature setting for a few hours. Then reset the thermostat to the desired setting, usually at mid setting. 11
