NOTE:
•Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does
not shut off the power to the freezer.
•If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before
•Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will
not start.
•Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
Defrosting Your Freezer
•When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption,
defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.
•Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use
a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and
will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper provided with your
unit.
•Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the
food.
•Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.
•Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
•During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
•Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
•Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
•Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
•Clean the interior of the freezer.
•Replace the plug on the inside floor.
•Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
•Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
•Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the
freezer compartment and void your warranty.
