OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

Temperature Control

NOTE:
If the unit is unplugged or loses power, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

Defrosting Your Freezer

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.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
