Storing Frozen Items
Frozen items may be stored in the three drawers, or can be placed directly on the
cooling shelves if one or more of the drawers is removed.

Defrosting Your Freezer
For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls reaches 1/8 to 1/4 inch in thickness.
:
1. If your freezer has a manual thermostat, an hour or so before defrosting, set it to
super (yellow light will be on) so that the freezer contents are well-frozen. After that,
empty the freezer and take care that the items do not begin to thaw. If your unit has a
digital thermostat, just remove and store the contents before defrosting.
2. To start defrosting, unplug the freezer and remove the drawers.
3. Insert the enclosed tubing into the groove in the bottom of
the appliance and place a container underneath to collect
the defrost water. (See illustration.) Defrosting is
accelerated if the door is left open.
4. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting
ice from the freezer floor. After the frost or ice has melted,
dry the interior of the freezer thoroughly.
5. Restart the freezer by plugging it in and turning the
(manual) thermostat to the desired position. Once the freezer is cold, put back the
drawers and contents.
CAUTION
: Do not use boiling water or an electric device such as a hair dryer to help
speed up the defrosting because this could damage the plastic parts of the unit. 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 a plastic scraper.
