OPERATION

Initial Start Up
After satisfying the installation requirements, the freezer is ready to operate. The unit will start when the power cord is connected to
a live electrical receptacle. If the Compressor and Condenser Fan are not running when the unit is initially connected to power, check
to make sure that the Temperature Control is not set to the 'off' position. Allow the unit to run a minimum of two (2) hours before
loading it with product.
Temperature Control
The Electronic Temperature Control is located on the rear of the unit. To check the temperature control set point, push and release
the 'set' button on the control and the display will show the set point temperature. To adjust the set point, push and hold the 'set'
button until display blinks, then push the up or down arrows to adjust the set point. Either press the 'set' button again or wait 10
seconds and the control will store the new set point. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to a control setting adjustment.
Defrost
The Silver King freezer is a manual defrost unit. The unit should be defrosted whenever the walls accumulate a frost layer that is
1/4 inch thick. To defrost the unit, either turn the Temperature Control to the 'off' position or disconnect the Power Cord from the
electrical receptacle and remove or open the Lid Assembly. After the frost has melted or come loose from the walls, wipe out the
cabinet interior. Do not attempt to scrape or chisel off the frost as you could do irreparable damage to the unit.

MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation and maximizing the life of
the appliance.
Cabinet Surfaces
The interior and exterior surfaces are stainless steel and should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water and a mild
soap, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. A good stainless steel cleaner can also be used. Should a surface become stained or
discolored, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Use a soft cleaner and rub with the grain of the metal
to avoid scratching the surface. Always rinse and dry afterwards. Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the stainless steel.
Condenser
Periodically, dust on the condenser coil must be cleaned. The condenser is located behind the front cover at the right front of the
unit. Remove the front cover by pulling on the bottom edge of the cover. The condenser will be exposed. Clean the accumulated
dust/debris from the condenser with a vacuum or brush or chemical cleaning agent (Nu-Calgon 4171-75 or equivalent). This will
need to be done regularly to maintain the compressor warranty!
WARNING: The condenser fins are very sharp, use caution when cleaning the condenser.
Casters
Retighten the Casters to the base of the unit regularly to prevent damage to the base of the cabinet.
