3.OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
Your freezer has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the lower right
hand corner. The range of the temperature control is from position" 1" the warmest to "6" the coldest. Adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "4" should be appropriate for home or
office freezer use. To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
Power On Light
The Power On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to electrical power. The light glows
even when the temperature control is turned to OFF.
NOTES:
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.
When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
Defrosting Your Freezer
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 (¼ to ½ inch thick) . Complete defrosting and cleaning should be done at
least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning.
CAUTION
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". The power light will go 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.
•
NOTES:
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.
