OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
Once your freezer is in its proper place, plug the power cord into an electrical socket to turn on
the unit. The “Power” light (red) will come on immediately. The “Run” light (green) will be lit if
freezer compressor is in operation (if temperature control is set anywhere between 1-7)
Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control
dial has 7 temperature settings and a 0 setting (OFF). “1” is the cold and ”7” is the coldest.
Turning the dial to 0 (OFF) stops cooling the freezer. The “Run” indicator (green) will turn off.
Turning the temperature control to the “0” setting position stops the cooling cycle but doesn't shut
off the power of the freezer.
If turning the freezer on for the first time, set the dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass before
adjusting the temperature to your needs. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before
food is put in.
NOTE:
If the unit is unplugged or 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.
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 to inch thick (approximately every 3
months).
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. Both the “Power” light and the “Run” light should be off (red and
green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Unscrew and remove the drain cap on the exterior front of the freezer (lower left).
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
