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.

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 process, 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, The Power Supply light should be ON.

Reset the thermostat to desired setting.

Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.

Turn the temperature control knob in a clockwise direction to the maximum position “7” 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.

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.

Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.

Storage baskets are provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, just slide the baskets to one side, or lift it out.

Door Lock

Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the User's Guide. Insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.
