FOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENTFOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT

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.

COMPARTMENTCOMPARTMENT

COMPARTMENT

Quick frozen soft fruits and ice cream should be placed in

the coldest part of the compartment which is on or just

below the freezer shelf. Frozen vegetables, may be stored

in any part of the compartment.

This compartment is not designed for deep or quick

freezing 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.

ICE MAKINGICE MAKING

ICE MAKING

Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray placed in the freezer

compartment. The tray should be filled with water to within

1/4" (5mm) from the top. For faster ice making, the tray

should be placed in direct contact with the freezer shelf.

To release the ice cubes, seize the tray with both hands

and twist the tray. Cubes not required should be replaced

in the tray. Refill the tray with water and replace the tray on

the freezer 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 lower compart-

ment may be frozen if the setting is left on "COLDEST"

position.

DEFROSTINGDEFROSTING

DEFROSTING

Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power ON/

OFF button to the UP (OFF) position. Empty the refrigera-

tor, leaving the drip tray under the finned evaporator, and

the cabinet and freezer doors open. Defrosting time can be

reduced by filling the ice tray with hot water and placing it

on the freezer shelf.

When all frost is melted, dry the interior of the refrigerator

with a clean cloth. Replace all food and set thermostat to

the COLDEST temperature setting for a few hours. Then

reset the thermostat to the desired setting, usually at mid-

setting.

NOTENOTE

NOTE: On these models the drip tray/cup is on the rear

side of the refrigerator.

Put the plastic drain tube in a watertight bucket or container

(access through louvered service panel on the outside of

the vehicle). As the frost melts, the water will flow into the

container. When all the frost has melted wipe up the

excess moisture and empty the accumulated water from

the bucket. Replace the drain tube to its original position.

CLEANINGCLEANING

CLEANING

Cleaning the refrigerator is usually done after it is defrosted

or put into storage. To clean the interior liner of the

refrigerator, use lukewarm weak soda solution. Use only

warm water to clean the finned evaporator, gaskets, ice

trays and shelves. NEVER use strong chemicals or abra-

sives to clean these parts as the protective surfaces will be

damaged. It is important to always keep the refrigerator

clean.

doors left ajar. The ice tray should also be dried and kept

outside the cabinet.
