Operation
Starting
The freezer temperature can be regulated by adjusting the control. The evaporator forms the storage shelves of the unit which provides consistent freezing temperatures throughout the freezer. Freezer temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and on the frequency of door openings.
Wait 4 hours before loading the freezer. It takes time to reach storage temperature. During this time the freezer may run constantly.
Maintenance
Defrosting
DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard. Discon- nect power before defrosting.
You should defrost your freezer when the frost be- comes 1/4 inch thick. Further accumulation will reduce
operating efficiency. How often you have to defrost depends on the type and amount of food you freeze, the temperature and humidity and the number of times you open and close the freezer. The period between defrosting can be extended by scraping frost every so often with a plastic scraper.
Defrosting Steps
1.Turn the unit OFF.
2.Remove all food and place it in cardboard boxes or wrap it in several thicknesses of newspaper, This action will keep food safely frozen while you defrost and clean your freezer.
3.Leave the door open and wait for frost to soften. Place pans of hot water on the shelves or use an electric fan blowing into the freezer to speed defrosting. Do not use electric defrost devices as they can damage the plastic parts of your freezer.
4.Remove soften frost with a plastic or wooden
scraper, or a cloth or sponge. CAUTION: NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE FROST. They
could puncture freezing coils and severely damage the refrigeration system.
5.Defrost water will accumulate in the bottom of the interior cabinet which can be absorbed with a
sponge or towel.
6, Clean the inside of the freezer. Cleaning instruct- ions are described below and on the permanent use and care label on the inside of the freezer door.
7.Turn the unit back on and place the frozen foods back inside the freezer.
