Defrosting Your Freezer
When? 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.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
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.
Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.
Unplug the freezer.
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by rotating it.
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.
Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
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.
The Freezer Compartment
This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is
up to three months.
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when
defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen
foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or
home freezer.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to
defrost when the ice reaches 5 to 10 mm thick.
A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other
packages in the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Freezer
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage
basket.
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution.
The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
