In order to facilitate level meltage, old ice/ should be trimmed off to provide slight pitch of/ new ice towards the rear./ 4. If it is found necessary to re-ice a refrigera-/ tor which holds 100 lbs of ice/ [Reme]mber to KEEP THE GRATE BARS COVERED./ [5.?] For quick cooling, when first icing, use 25/ [?] of chipped ice to fill hopper and completely/ [co]ver grate bars, then fill with a 50 or 100 lbs./ [b]lock of ice./ TEMPERATURE CONTROL/ This refrigerator is equipped with a tempera-/ ture regulator, installed in top front of provision/ chamber between drip pans and ice hopper.
