Defrosting and Draining
• Your freezer may have a lock and key feature to secure the freezer
(depending on the freezer model). Close the lid and turn the key in a
clockwise direction to lock. Turn the key in the opposite direction to
unlock.
• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption,
defrost the freezer whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use
a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage
the cooling coils and will void your warranty. Only use the plastic
scraper that is provided. Do not use boiling water because this may
damage the plastic parts.
• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to
protect the food.
• Turn the temperature control to the OFF position and unplug the unit.
The green "Power On" indicator light will turn off.
• Remove the interior drain plug from the inside of the freezer by pulling
straight out.
• Place a tray beneath the exterior drain plug. Pull out the exterior drain
plug (see fig. #3). This will allow the defrost water to flow out into the
tray. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the
freezer door open.
Note:
Check the pan occasionally so that the water does not overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug into the
electrical outlet.
• Turn the Fast Freeze Switch on for a minimum of two hours and
turn off.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food to the freezer.
