The Chiller Compartment
(Model
FR320UK )
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short term storage (3-4 days at most) of some
commercially frozen foods.
The temperature in this compartment may not get cold enough to safely freeze food for long periods of time
and works best when the food is already frozen.
By design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or freeze items.
A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be affected.
The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered under your
warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 inch thick.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Appliance
Turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the appliance, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
Wash the inside with a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the appliance should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Maintenance of Your Appliance
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance
if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of
time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your appliance, clean your appliance, and leave the door
open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving Your Appliance
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts
down on frost buildup inside the appliance.
Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
