OPERATION (cont.)
Defrosting Your Freezer:
•Aproperdefrostoperationmay require 3 to 6 hours.
•When? For the most efficientoperation and minimum energyconsumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is
excessive or becomes ¼ inch thick as that ice or frost build up will negatively impact your appliance’sperformance.
•Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low or emptythe unit if there is another convenient refrigerated storage space for
these perishable food items.
•Leaving the lid open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water
(not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to
removefrost as it may damagethe side wallsand will voidthe
warranty.We recommend using theplastic scraper provided with
yourunit.
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
2. Turnthe thermostatknob to “OFF”.
3. Unplug thefreezer. The “POWER ON INDICATOR” light should be OFF.
NOTE: During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
4. If the appliance has a drain plug, remove it from the inside floor of the freezer bypulling straight out.
5. Place a shallowpan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
6. Check thepan occasionallyso the water does not overflow.
7. Cleanand drythe interior of thefreezer.
8. Replace the plug on the inside floor.
9. Reconnectelectricalconnection.The “POWER ON INDICATOR”light shouldbe ON.
10. Resetthe thermostatto desiredsetting.

Page 13 of 16
OPERATION (cont.)
• It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
• If the loading amount is too large, the qualityof freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
• Do not attempt if there is ¼” of ice or frost build up on the compartment walls until after the appliance has been thoroughly
defrostedand returned toits proper holding temperature.
• Do not load food product within 4 inches of the cover.
• Do not load more than 25-percent of the unit's storage capacity with non-frozen product. It is best if the product is pre-chilled to
50°F (10°C) before product is placed inthe storage freezer.
• Ice maybe made in the unit if ice trays are placed in the baskets.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever performing service,
maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area. Failure to comply may result in Death or
Severe Personnel Injury.
Exterior and Interior Cleaning of Appliances
Clean using soap and warm water. If this isn't sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive liquid cleaner.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the plastic and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
CAUTION
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the electrical
components located near or at the condenser coil.
Regular cleaning is recommended every 90 days. In some instances, you may find that there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease
accumulated prior to the 90 day time frame. In these cases the condenser coil should be cleaned every 30 days.
If the buildup on the coil consists of only light dust and debris, the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush. Heavier dust build-
up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.
If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils. The
condenser coil may require cleaning with the de-greasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous operation with dirty or
clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties
associated with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor.
•For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
•We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
•Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner and a soft brush, available from any commercial refrigeration
equipment retailer, or vacuuming the condenser with a shop vac or use CO2.
Gasket Maintenance
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning
can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets. Do not use sharp tools or knives to
scrape or clean the gasket.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and don’t require the use of tools or authorized service technicians. The gaskets are "Dart" style and
can be pulled out of the grove in the lid and replaced by pressing the new one back into place.
