Temperature Control

Set the thermostat to an intermediate position (usually 3-4) to maintain optimal temperature. Adjust based on room temperature, the frequency of door opening, and the volume of food stored.

Defrosting

Perform complete defrosting once or twice a year. Turn the thermostat to the 'OFF' position, remove food, leave the door open, and collect water using a container placed beneath the ice scraper. Clean and dry thoroughly before returning the food.
