To set the temperature, locate the thermostat dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial to the desired setting. A higher number corresponds to a colder temperature.
Check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is closing properly and the seal is intact. If issues persist, consider defrosting the unit or contacting customer support for further assistance.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every six months to maintain optimal performance. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and use a vacuum or brush to remove dust and debris.
Yes, you can store raw meat in your refrigerator. Ensure it is well-wrapped or placed in a sealed container to prevent cross-contamination and store it on the lower shelves to avoid drips onto other foods.
Water pooling could be due to a blocked defrost drain. Clear any obstructions in the drain tube located at the back of the refrigerator. Regularly check and clean to prevent future issues.
To improve energy efficiency, ensure the door seals are intact, set the thermostat to the recommended setting, and avoid placing hot food directly inside. Regularly defrost if applicable and keep the unit away from heat sources.
To defrost, remove all contents and unplug the refrigerator. Leave the door open to allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels at the bottom to absorb water. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior before plugging back in.
To change the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator. Locate the light cover inside and remove it. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage. Replace the cover and plug the refrigerator back in.
Unusual noises might be due to the refrigerator not being level or items inside vibrating. Ensure the unit is on a flat surface and nothing is touching the interior walls. If noises persist, consult the manual or contact customer support.
It is not recommended to transport the refrigerator on its side as this can cause damage to the compressor. If necessary, allow it to sit upright for several hours before plugging it in to allow the compressor oil to settle.
