at one time.
? Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.

? 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.

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.
