Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for
the appliance to cool down completely.
The unit will run continuously for the first
several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the unit after the
first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods
should
NOT
be loaded into the appliance
until the unit has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading the unit, freeze only 3
pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of
freezer space at one time. Distribute
packages to be frozen evenly throughout
the appliance. It is not necessary to turn
control knob to a colder setting while
freezing food.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located on the
front outside wall. The temperature control is
adjustable to provide a range of temperatures
for your personal satisfaction. If a colder
temperature is desired, turn the temperature
control knob toward MAX and allow 24 hours for
temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

CARE & CLEANING
Between Defrostings
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use
a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with
a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument
to remove frost.
CAUTION
Appliance must be unplugged (to avoid
electrical hazard) from power source when
cleaning unit.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the
appliance when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has
accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate
faster on the upper part of the unit due to
warm, moist air entering the appliance when
the door is opened. Remove food and leave
the door open when defrosting the unit.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic
scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep
pans with hot water and place them on the
appliance bottom. Close the door. Frost should
soften in about 15 minutes. Place towels or
newspapers on the bottom to catch the frost.
The frost will loosen and fall. Remove towels
and/or newspapers. Repeat this procedure if
necessary.
Unscrew the drain plug inside the unit, and
unscrew the outside defrost drain plug. Place a
shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water
will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water
does not overflow. Replace the drain plug when
defrosting and cleaning are completed.
