Temperature Control
This control has been set at the faclery for proper
operating temperature, Should il be necessary to
fewer or raise the cabinet lemperature, [t should
be noted that turning it to the right (clockwise)
will Lowerthe cabinet temperature, Turning tl to
the left (counter clockwise) will raise it. Higher
numbers on the thermostat knob indicates coider
temperatures. If the thermostat is turned to the
exlreme left, until it "clicks"("off" position), then
the power to the compressor is switched oil
tn control posilion No. 1, the freezer temperature
wilt be approximately-10_0 (+14"F)_
tn control position No. 7, the freezer will run
continuously achieving a food temperature of
-23_0 (-I0_F), depending on the room
temperature° Recommended control setting is

Defrosting
Moisture wili be introduced to the liner during lid
openings and the addition of unfrozen food
packages. The moisture will accumulate In the
form of frost mostly on th e upper part of the
liner walls.
Accumulation of frost up to 6 mm (1/4") on the
liner is not harmful However, when it becomes
heavier, ft should be removed as It retards
cooling resulting in Longer running (cycle) times.
Frost may be removed with a wooden spatula or
a plastfc defrosting scoop by simply scraping off
the accumulalions from the side of the waits,
Do not use any sharp instruments as this may
result in damage to the liner wall and/or sealed
system, voiding any and/or all warranties which
may be in effecL
Under average conditions, defrosting wiil not be
necessary more than once or Iw_ce a year.
Besides frost, food particles and other foreign
substances may may accumulate and soil the
liner. For proper defrosting and cleaning, the
foflowtng method is recommended:
a) Unplug freezer.
b) Quickly remove all frozen food end store them
in baskets, cartons or other suitable
containers, Keep them well covered with
bfankels to avoid excessive temperature rise°
c) A kstt_e!pot of hot water placed in the center
of the ]{nerwilt greatly acce{erate defrosting.
d) With the help of a wooden spatula era
plastic defrosting scoop, remove the frost and
ice off the liner wails as soon as it becomes
loose (approximately 15 minutes from slart).
Using a piece of cloth soaked in hot water,
the process can be considerably accelerated,
As soon as lhe ice has faI[en to the bottom,
remove It, Do not tet It melt in the freezer as
this will increase defrosting and cleaning time
Cleaning

baking soda on the bottom and walls,, This wtil

retain the finish of the freezer cabinet inside and
outside, wash only with warm water and mild
soap, then rinse and dry Do not use under any

Electrical and Mechanical Failure
In the event of a general power failure, it is
important to keep the contents of your freezer
frozen, For your protection, tl Is recommended to
locate a dealer o! dry ice (solidified carbon
