User Manual
Temperature Control
The recommended setting for the freezer is at position “4”. If fast freezing is needed for products,
set at position “7”. Turn it to its original position when the articles are frozen. Do not fast freeze for
more than 4-5 hours. To decrease the temperature (colder), turn to position “7”. to increase the
temperature (warmer), turn to position “1”.
CAUTION
Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice
up. This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet temperature.
Defrost System
If the frost on the interior walls is more than 1/4”, defrosting should be done.
Method of defrosting: 1) Unplug the unit. Take out all contents of the freezer. After the freezer
temperature rises, frost will melt or scale off. 2) To speed up defrosting, place a pan of hot water
into the unit and close the door. After defrosting, drain the water and then use a soft cloth to dry the
interior walls. Plug unit and resume operation.
Note: Never use sharp utensils to scrape off frosting layers.
Regular Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
It is suggested that the freezer be cleaned periodically; generally clean it every 30-45 days. Unplug
before cleaning, and use a soft cloth with a solvent of warm water and mild soap to scrub inside and
outside of the cabinet. Do not use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline or benzene for cleaning any part
of the chest freezer. Dry it with a soft cloth. Never use water to rinse the freezer.
