temperature canbe adjustedas needed from 36"F (2"C)

down the button

The Defrost Cycle

The DefrostCycle isautomatically activated every 12

hoursto maintaina "Frost Free"environmentinsideyour

refrigerator compartments,If thefresh food and/or

freezer compartmentsare opened frequantly for

extendedperiodsoftime, the frost can accumulate

ratherquickly, toavoid thisyou shouldonly openeither

cabinetwhenabsolutely needed and only for a bdef

period of time.

Ice Cube Tray

ice cubs trayIsflexible. Twist tray to remove icecubes.

If the Ice cubetrayIsfrozen hard to the evaporator

surface,runa littlewater over the tray° Never use a

knifeor other metal instrumentto remove ice cube tray

becausethis maydamage the evaporator. (Fig.D)

Power Failure

Most power failures arecorrectedwithinan hour or two

and willnot affect your refrigerator temperatures.

openings while the power Isoff. During powerfailures

oflonger duration, take steps to protect your food by
