Ice Cube Tray
Power Failure
Ice cube tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove ice cubes.
If the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the evaporator
surface, run a little water over the tray. Never use a
knife or other metal instrument to remove ice cube tray
because this may damage the evaporator. (Fig. D)
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power failures
of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by
placing dry ice on top of packages.
If You Move
Fig. D
Cooling System
This refrigerator is inclusive of a "frost free" type cooling
system, which means you never have to defrost the
freezer compartment. Defrosting is done automatically
by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost
timer factory programmed to operate (cycle)
approximately every 8 hours. The defrost water is
routed into a defrost pan located directly above the
compressor from where it evaporates.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always
disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
To
clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a
tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water, or a
mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash
ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild
detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth.
Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild
detergent or appliance cleaner.
Setting
the Thermostat
The thermostat setting can be adjusted from #1
(minimum setting) through Maximum (coldest setting)
We recommend setting the thermostat at # 4 (medium
setting) If however you find this setting inappropriate for
your cooling requirements, adjust as needed by rotating
the thermostat dial. The thermostat dial is located on
the front top section of the refrigerator compartment.
The thermostat controls temperature for both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments.
Vacation
Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the
usual setting. During longer absences;
(a) remove all foods,
(b) disconnect from electrical outlet,
(c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including
defrost pan,
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of
condensate, mold or odors.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside
the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs,
turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the
Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped
in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass
containers. Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
• Don't overload the cabinet.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long
periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to
leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside
the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of
condensate, mold or odors.
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum
foil or any other shelf covering material which may
prevent
air circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from
meats, poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped
individually
and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and
poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should
be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats
such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store
best in their original packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature
placing them in the refrigerator.
before
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially
leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
Vegetable
Crisper
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to
retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable
you to store vegetables and fruits which would
otherwise dry out rapidly. The humidity level inside the
crisper drawer can be controlled by adjusting the
"damper" control (white slider) located on the front of
the drawer.
Frequently, a problem is minor and a service call may not be necessary, use this troubleshooting guide for a
possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call an authorized service depot or Danby's Toll
Free Number for assistance.
