OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
• Your freezer has one control for regulating the
temperature. The temperature control is
located on the upper right hand corner of the
interior compartment.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “5” and run for at
least 2 hours before putting foods inside. This
will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled
before food is put in.
• The range of the freezer temperature control is from position "1" the warmest to "7" the coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “5” should
be appropriate for home or office freezer use.
• Turning the temperature control knob to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the unit.
• 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 may 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
increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
Defrosting
• When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick.
• Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
• Turn the temperature control knob to the “off” position.
• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Unplug the freezer.
• Open the freezer door.
• Place a suitable container to collect the defrost water.
• After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
• Plug in and adjust the temperature control knob as needed.
• Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour before returning food to the freezer.
aWARNINGa
Scraping ice from the freezer compartment can damage the unit.
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.
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.
Storage of Frozen Foods
• This freezer is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time period is up to
three months.
