or office freezer use.
To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
NOTE;
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, loses 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.
The Fast Freeze Switch
The light glows while the Fast Freeze switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering
the cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space
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.
The Fast Freeze switch should be left on for a maximum of 2 hours.
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.
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 (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.
Switch on the Fast Freeze for a maximum 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.
