Operation instructions

Temperature Control

• Your freezer has a control for regu-
lating the temperature. The tem-
perature control is located on the
lower right hand corner.
• The range of the temperature con-
trol is from position "1" (the warm-
est) to "6" (the coldest). Adjust the
temperature control to the setting
that best suits your needs. Position
"4" should be appropriate for home
or office use.
• When selecting "HI", the freezer
"fast freeze" and the compressor
will not stop until you turn the knob
to another position.

Defrosting Your Freezer

For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost
the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is more than 5 to 10 mm
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. We
recommend using a plastic scraper.
1. Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in a cooler to
protect the food.
2. Unplug the freezer. The Power
Supply light should be off (green
light out). During defrosting, ice
melts into the cabinet.
3. Remove the drain plug on the in-
side floor of the freezer by rotating
it.
Notes:
• If the unit is unplugged, lost power,
or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting it. If you
attempt to restart before this time
lapse, the freezer will not start.
• Large amounts of food will lower
the cooling efficiency of the appli-
ance.
• If you choose to change the ther-
mostat setting, adjust thermostat
control one position at a time. Allow
several hours for temperature to
stabilize between adjustments.
4. Place a shallow pan outside drain
outlet. The defrost water will drain
out. Check the pan occasionally so
the water does not overflow.
5. Clean the interior of the freezer.
Replace the plug on the inside
floor.
6. Reset the thermostat to desired
setting and allow the cabinet to
cool for one hour.
7. Return food to the freezer.
