Operating your Unit
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your freezer has one control for regulating
the temperature. The temperature control
is located on the lower right hand corner.
• The range of the temperature control is
from position” 1” the warmest to “6” the
coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The
setting of “4” should be appropriate for
home or office freezer use.
Note: If the unit is unplugged, lost power,
or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before Restarting the unit. If you attempt to
restart before this time delay, the freezer will
not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the
cooling efficiency of the appliance. If you
choose to change the thermostat setting,
adjust thermostat control by one numerical
increment at a time. Allow several hours
for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
DEFROSTING YOUR CHEST FREEZER
• For the most efficient operation and
minimum energy consumption, defrost
the freezer when the frost on the freezer
walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick. To
minimize disruption, choose a time when
the stock of frozen food is low.
Important! Do not use boiling water because
it may damage the plastic parts. In addition,
never use a sharp or metallic instrument
to remove frost as it may damage the
cooling coils and will void the warranty.
We recommend using the plastic scraper
provided with your unit.
• Remove the frozen food from the freezer
and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light
should be off (green light out).
• During defrosting, the ice melts into the
cabinet.
• Remove the drain plug on the inside floor
of the freezer by pulling straight out.
• Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet.
The defrost water will drain out.
• Check the pan occasionally so the water
does not overflow.
• Clean the interior of the freezer.
• Replace the plug on the inside floor.
• Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
• Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
• Switch on the temperature control to the
highest setting for two hours before using,
and then adjust to normal level.
• Return food to the freezer.
Helpful Tip!
Defrosting usually takes a few
hours. Leaving the door open will help speed
the process. Also, pouring warm water (not
boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting. If you must use a scraper- please
use caution - it is very easy to damage
the freezer compartment and void your
warranty.
