FREEZER FEATURES AND USE CONT.

DEFROSTING
• For most efficient 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 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.
