Page 11: Operation
OPERATION Your Unique freezer, like any battery-powered refrigerating appli- ance, requires different care than appliances plugged into an elec- tric utility. Prudent operation is the key to extended service. STARTING THE FREEZER After the freezer has been properly connected to the 12 or 24 V DC power source or the AC/DC adaptor (sold separately), the compres- sor will automatically turn on and the cabinet will begin cooling. - Page 12 OPERATION continued ADJUSTMENTS As the ambient temperature changes with the season, it may be nec- essary to adjust the thermostat to achieve the proper internal tem- perature. If the room/ambient temperature approaches the appliance’s internal operating temperature, the appliance will not function as it should.
- Page 13 OPERATION continued DEFROSTING Before cleaning or repositioning the freezer, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electrical power supply. DEFROSTING THE UNIT As solar freezers do not have automatic defrost the freezer compartment could become progressively cov- ered with frost. When 5mm of frost forms in the freezer, this should be removed with the supplied plastic scraper.
