Defrosting
Freezer will become progressively covered with frost and must be
cleaned. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the frost because it
can damage the freezer. Use plastic scraper.
If the accumulated frost becomes very thick, complete defrosting
should be performed as follows:
•
Unplug the unit. Remove the inner drain plug. Open the door and
let it open to accelerate the defrost process. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours.
•
To collect the defrost water, place a tray beneath the outer drain
hole.
•
Pull the outer drain dial and rotate 180°. The defrost water will flow
out of the freezer.
•
When finished, push the outer drain plug back to its place.
Reinstall the inner drain plug. Monitor the water level in the tray to
avoid overflow.
•
Clean the interior of the freezer and plug the power cord.
•
Adjust the thermostat knob to the desired position.
NOTE
•
If the unit is unplugged, loses power; 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.
•
Do not place the foods on the air outlet and leave spaces
for airflow.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust
thermostat control by one increment at a time. Allow
several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
