Features; Care And Cleaning - Frigidaire CHEST FREEZER Manual

Features

Interior Lighting
The light comes on automatically when the lid
is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the
temperature control to "OFF" and UNPLUG
THE ELECTRICAL CORD. Replace the old
bulb with a bulb of the same type and wattage.
Four (4) Swivel Casters
The freezer comes with four (4) swivel
casters. The casters allow the appliance to
be moved with ease. Refer to the First Steps
section for caster installation instructions.
Commercial Grade Basket
The NSF certified basket helps organize odd-
shaped items. To reach other packages in the
freezer, slide the basket aside or lift out.
Security Lock
This security lock fastens the lid snugly,
ensuring that stored food is secure. To lock or
unlock the freezer, slide the key into the lock
and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it
has been turned.
Adjustable Temperature Control
The adjustable thermostat control is located
on the left outside wall of the unit.
Interior Thermometer
The appliance comes with an NSF certified
thermometer to show internal temperatures.
The thermometer is attached to the plastic
interior lid panel on commercial chest freezers
and on the wire basket on ice cream freezers.
MaxFreeze Switch
When the Max Freeze setting is activated, the
LED on the rocker switch will light up. This setting
puts the compressor in a fulltime run mode and
overrides the thermostatic control. This in turn
results in constant cooling of the freezer and
provides the fastest freezer cool down period.

In most conditions the MaxFreeze setting
will maintain lower freezer compartment
temperatures than would the Normal setting.
The Normal setting can be used to save
energy when rapid cool down times aren't
needed or when constantly maintaining the
lowest temperature is not required.
To return the freezer back to normal operating
mode, push the switch to the normal position.

Care and Cleaning

Between Defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally
use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape
with pulling motion. NEVER use a metal
instrument to remove frost.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer
when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated.
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on
the upper part of the freezer due to warm,
moist air entering the freezer when the lid is
opened. Remove food and leave the lid open
when defrosting the freezer.
To use the defrost drain, place a shallow pan
beneath the drain outlet (Figure 1). Pull out the
drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off the
outside defrost drain plug (Figure 2). Defrost
water will drain out. Check pan occasionally
so water does not overflow. Replace the drain
plugs when defrosting is completed.
