OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
NOTE:
If the unit is unplugged or loses power, 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.
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 to inch thick (approximately every 3
months).
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.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water
will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
