or office freezer use.
•
To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
• NOTE;
• Turning the temperature control to " OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but
does not shut off the power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or turned off; 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.
The Fast Freeze Switch
•
The light glows while the Fast Freeze switch is in the 'ON' position.
•
The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering
the cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
•
This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
•
When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space
at one time.
•
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
•
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast Freeze switch.
•
The Fast Freeze switch should be left on for a maximum of 2 hours.
Defrosting Your Freezer
• When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick.
• 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.
•
Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".
•
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
•
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
•
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
•
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
•
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
•
Clean the interior of the freezer.
•
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
•
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
•
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
•
Switch on the Fast Freeze for a maximum of 2 hours.
•
Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting.
