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.
?The Fast Freeze Switch
?The light glows while the Fast Freeze switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
?The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering the cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
?This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
?When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
?Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
?It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast Freeze switch.
?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 ¼ to ½ inch thick.
?Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
?How?
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.
?During the defrost, the ice melts into the cabinet.
?Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by screwing 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.
?Switch on the Fast Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
?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.
?The Freezer Compartment
?This compartment is designed for the long term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three months.
