Setting the temperature control
The temperature control is located at the rear bottom corner of the appliance.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to the maximum position,
using a flat head screwdriver.
The range of the temperature control is from position “1” the warmest to “7” the coldest.
After 24 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
The setting of “5-6” should be correct for standard operational 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, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
Defrosting your freezer
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer compartment when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.
How? To start defrosting, turn the temperature control to “OFF”, unplug the freezer,
remove the food and baskets. After the frost or ice has melted, discard the melted water
and dry up the freezer interior. Then the freezer can be restarted by turning its thermostat
to the desired setting.
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 system and
will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
