Electrical Connections
Be sure to check the data plate, located on the liner of the cabinet, for required voltage prior to connecting the unit to power. The
specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.
Your Silver King freezer is equipped with an eight (8) foot power cord. Any attempt to modify the plug will void the warranty, terminate
the manufacturers responsibility, and could result in serious injury.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.”
The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on a circuit and not plugged into an
extension cord.
OPERATION
Initial Start Up
After satisfying the installation requirements, the freezer is ready to operate. The unit will start when the power cord is connected to
a live electrical receptacle. If the Compressor and Condenser Fan are not running when the unit is initially connected to power, check
to make sure that the Temperature Control is not set to the ‘off’ position. Allow the unit to run a minimum of two (2) hours before
loading it with product.
Temperature Control
The Temperature Control is located on the front panel of the cabinet and is factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of
approximately 0 Degrees Fahrenheit for 115Volt units or -17 Celsius for 230 Volt units. To obtain colder temperatures, press and
hold the set button until the set point value flashes. Use the up or down arrow buttons to change the value and then press the set
button again. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to a control setting adjustment.
Defrost
The SKFMW34 freezer is a manual defrost unit. The unit should be defrosted whenever the walls accumulate a frost bank that is 1/2
inch thick. To defrost the unit, first remove the product and the covers from the unit then disconnect the power cord from the electrical
receptacle. After the frost has melted or come loose from the cabinet walls, wipe out the cabinet interior with a sponge or position the
unit over a floor drain and remove the drain plug allowing the condensate to drain out of the cabinet and into the floor drain. Do not
attempt to scrape or chisel off the frost as you could do irreparable damage to the cabinet.
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation and maximizing the life of
the appliance.
Cabinet Surfaces
The interior and exterior surfaces are stainless steel and should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water and a mild
soap, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. A good stainless steel cleaner can also be used. Should a surface become stained or
discolored, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Use a soft cleaner and rub with the grain of the metal
to avoid scratching the surface. Always rinse and dry afterwards. Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the stainless steel.
Condenser
Periodically, dust on the condenser coil must be cleaned. To access the condenser, remove the right end panel by removing the
four screws. The condenser will be exposed. Clean the accumulated dust/debris from the condenser with a vacuum or brush or
chemical cleaning agent (Nu-Calgon 4171-75 or equivalent). This will need to be done regularly to maintain the compressor
warranty!
WARNING: The condenser fins are very sharp, use caution when cleaning the condenser.
Casters
Retighten the Casters to the base of the unit regularly to prevent damage to the base of the cabinet.
Lids
The exterior should be cleaned periodically. Wipe clean only with a solution of warm water and mild soap, and then wipe dry. Do not
submerge or soak lids as this can cause deterioration.
