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 signi�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 operation by pressing the main power ON/OFF button (OFF position). This shuts off all DC power to the refrigerator, including 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
! WARNING

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 �sh, whether raw or prepared, can be stored in the frozen food storage compartment provided they are precooled �rst in the refrigerator. They can be stored about three times longer in the frozen food compartment as compared 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 compartment. � To prevent frost buildup, which can reduce the ef�ciency, wipe excess moisture off items being placed in the compartment. Ice cubes Ice cubes can be made in the freezer compartment. Place the trays in direct contact with the bottom of the freezer compartment. 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 refrigerator, such as cigarette lighter gas, gasoline, ether or the like.

FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
� Cool the refrigerator before placing any food inside. Never put hot food or drinks into the refrigerator - cool them �rst. � 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 �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. � 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 ef�ciency of the refrigerator. -7-
