INITIAL OPERATION
Instructions in this guide generally apply to both models unless otherwise noted.
Clean the unit before first use (see
the next section for cleaning instructions). After cleaning, plug the unit into its power source. Do not turn on the unit if
it has been moved within the past 2 hours, as the cooling fluid needs time to settle.
When the freezer is plugged in for the first time, or after defrosting, adjust the thermostat control knob to the highest
setting
Dy
for at least 2 hours before adding food.
After it is fully cooled, adjust the knob to best suit your needs.
D/E
is the least cool and
Dy
is the coolest setting. A
setting of
EKZD>
should be appropriate for most home or office use. Warmer environments may be more likely to
require higher settings. Cooler or winter environments may be better suited to a lower setting.
NOTE
: Turning the thermostat control knob to the
D/E
or “OFF” position may stop the cooling cycle but does
not shut off the power to the unit.
CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
Always disconnect the power before cleaning the appliance.
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of baking soda (bicarbonate). Then rinse with
warm
water (never hot
or boiling) using a damp sponge or cloth. For the 1110 freezer, wash the shelf and tray in warm soapy water and dry
them completely before putting them back in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Carefully clean
the door gasket/seal as well. Do not splash water on the outside or inside of the unit when cleaning it. The appliance
should be cleaned often enough for it not to accumulate any significant buildup of debris.
Defrosting the freezer
Over time, the freezer may require manual defrosting due to frost or ice building up inside of the freezer compartment.
It should be defrosted in the following scenarios:
•
The freezer will not be used for an extended period of time.
•
An ice layer is built-up inside the unit that is thicker than 1/4 inch.
To defrost the freezer:
1. Turn the thermostat knob to 0 or “Off”
2. Unplug the unit from the wall socket.
3. Remove all food. Ideally, the food should be placed in another freezer.
4. Place a towel or two under the freezer to collect the water from the melting frost.
5. Leave the door open until all the frost is melted. Usually, several hours (or overnight) will suffice.
6. Clean and wipe out the interior of the unit using the cleaning instructions just mentioned above. Do not use any
metal tools or abrasive cleaners to remove the frost as this can damage the unit. A plastic scraper is ok.
7. Reconnect power when cleaning is complete.
