OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
•
Your freezer has one control for regulating the
temperature. The temperature control is located on the
lower right hand corner.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “4” and run for at least 2
hours before putting frozen 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 "6" the coldest. Adjust
the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be
appropriate for home or office freezer use.
•
To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
But the freezer will not stop working if you turn the control to "OFF" position when the fast
freezing light is on.

•
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; 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.
•
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
•
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
