The Fast Freeze Switch (Amber)

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.
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.

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.
