Operating Your Freezer

• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet
having 115 volts and 15 amps.
• Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. "1" being the
warmest and "7" being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on
"4". Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours
set the freezer to your desired setting.
• In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage,
allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.

Defrosting and Draining

• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost
whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or metal-
lic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils.
(A punctured coil will void the warranty). Use only provided plastic
scraper. Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer
door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and
remove drain plug. (See fig #4) This will let the water flow out in the
tray. When done, screw on the drain plug in place.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft
cloth. Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food into the freezer.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
