Operation
Starting
The freezer temperature is preset to maintainthe
ideal temperature for food storage. The evaporator
formsthe storage shelves of the unitwhich provides

reach storage temperature. During this time the freezer
may run constantly.
Maintenance
Defrosting
_
DANGER:
Electrical Shock Hazard. Discon-
nect power before defrosting.
You shoulddefrost your freezer when the frost be-
comes 1/4 inch thick. Furtheraccumulationwill reduce
operatingefficiency.How often you have to defrost
depends on the type and amount of food you freeze,
the temperature and humidityand the number oftimes
you open and close the freezer. The periodbetween
defrostingcan be extended by scrapingfrost every so
often with a plasticscraper.
