NOTE:
Do not use boiling water as it may damage the plastic parts. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to
remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty
.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open and pouring warm water (not boiling) on the
ice/frost will help speed up the process. If you must use a scraper- please use with caution as it is very
easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Upon installation of the new freezer, it is recommended that the freezer to be cleaned thoroughly
before using.
Wash the cabinet with a damp warm cloth plus baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The external casing should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry the interior compartment and exterior casing with a soft cloth.
The condenser coil should be vacuumed if it is dusty or dirty.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free
and running efficiently.
Vacation Time
Short vacation:
Leave the freezer operating
for vacation
less than three weeks.
Long vacation:
If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power supply. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly.
Energy Saving Tips
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances
and away from direct sun light.
Let hot food cool to room temperature first before putting in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer and the freezing time will be lengthened.
Food may lose its quality or spoilt if it takes long time to be frozen.
Be sure to wrap the food properly and dry the containers before placing them in the freezer. This will
cut down the frost to build-up inside the freezer.
Organize and label food to reduce door opening frequency. Remove as many items as needed at
one time and close the door as soon as possible.
The internal compartment should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
The followings are not considered as problems for your freezer:
The refrigerating system runs for a long time when freezer is used for the first time or more food is
added to the freezer
Sound of running water – this is the sound when the refrigerant system is running
Condensation is normal when the ambient humidity is high. Drops of water may appear on the
exterior casing of the cabinet.
