NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

•  Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating 

through the cooling coils.

•  Click sound due to Temperature control dial cycles on and off.

DEFROSTING

•  For most effcient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 

1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the 

cooling coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty). Use only a plastic scraper. Do not use boiling 

water as it may damage the unit.

•  Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food. 
•  Turn the temperature control dial to OFF position and unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few 

hours. To defrost faster, keep the freezer door open. 

DEFROST DRAIN

Place a narrow defrost pan (not included) in front of the freezer, gently slide the defrost drain outward. 

Water that has accumulated at the bottom of the freezer during defrosting will drain into the pan. 

NOTE: 

Monitor the defrost pan to avoid overflow. 

•  When defrosting 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.

LEVELING YOUR FREEZER

•  Your freezer has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom corners of your freezer. After 

properly placing your freezer in its final position, you can level your freezer.

•  Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your freezer or by turning 

them clockwise to lower your freezer.
