Troubleshooting - SPT UF-213SS Operating Instructions Manual

PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the freezer is not to be used for a long period of time, please disconnect unit from main power supply.
Clean and dry the inside as instructed. Leave the door ajar to prevent any mold and mildew growth.
USAGE TIPS:
Try not to open the door too frequently, especially when weather is hot and humid.
Close doors as soon as possible.
Frequently check the unit has sufficient clearance for ventilation, especially behind the unit.
For normal household use, it is recommended to set the thermostat in the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, defrost when frost is 3-5 mm thick.
