Defrosting and Draining

• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost
whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Use only provided plastic
scraper. Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.
DANGER - Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture
refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not
use metal instruments to defrost freezer. Do not puncture
refrigerant tubing.
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer
door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and
remove drain plug. (See fig #3) This will let the water flow out in the
tray. When done, screw on the drain plug in place.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft
cloth. Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food into the freezer.
