IMPORTANT! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example, the power has been off for a long period of time,
the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).
•Ensure that frozen goods are quickly transferred to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
•Avoid opening door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
•Once defrosted, food should not be re-frozen.
•Do not exceed the recommended storage period indicated on the package or by the manufacturer.
•Frozen food can be thawed in a refrigerator or at room temperature before use.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer does require periodic defrosting due to frost/ice build up based on use.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the walls of the freezer, as this will cause damage and
affect the performance of the appliance.
When the ice build up becomes thick in the freezer compartment, it is time to defrost your freezer as follows:
1. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment.
2. Set the thermostat dial to ''0'' to defrost.
3. Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the
freezer.
4. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster faster keep
the freezer lid open.
5. Place a tray underneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial.
Rotate the drain dial 180 degrees to allow the ater flow out of the
freezer and into the tray
Note: Monitor the tray under the drain, emptying as required to avoid water overflowing
When done, rotate the drain dial 180 degrees and push it back into the cabinet
•Wipe the residual moisture out of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the
electrical outlet.
•Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
Temperature setting
Set the desired temperature on the thermostat control knob as follows:
Position MIN - Cold
Position MID- Colder. Preset at this position
Position MAX- Coldest
