Operation and Controls / Cleaning and Maintenance
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone
does not sterilize the food.
It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put
hot or warm food into the freezer.
Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place
into the freezer.
Fresh foods should not be stored together with frozen foods.
When the temperature is set below 32°F, do not keep glass-bottled drinks such as beer and juice or so-
da cans, as the glass and cans may burst.
Do not use this portable freezer as a refrigerator when the ambient temperature is 41°F as food can be-
come frozen.
Note: For best performance, leave enough space inside the freezer compartment for air to circulate
around the packages.
DEFROSTING AND DRAINING
WARNING: Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected. Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. Never unplug the unit by pulling
on the plug.
To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to scrape off
frost or separate the frozen food.
Moisture contained in food and air may form a layer of frost inside the unit after a period of use. We highly
recommend that the unit gets defrosted when frost becomes ¼” thick. The defrosting process for this unit is
operated manually.
For complete defrosting:
1. Unplug the unit from its power source
2. Remove all food and place it in boxes, insulated bags, a picnic cooler, etc. Use towels and newspaper
for insulation as needed.
3. With the door open, use hot water to speed the loosening of the frost. Remove large pieces of before
they melt.
4. Remove the clear drain plug from the inside base cabinet and the black drain plug from the side of the
freezer to drain water.
5. Sponge excess water from the bottom of the freezer.
6. After defrosting, clean the inside and dry with a soft cloth to wipe away the remaining ice and water.
Once the compartment is wiped and dry, replace the drain plugs and plug in the freezer. Return the tempera-
ture value to its previous setting and return food to the freezer.
NOTE: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. DO NOT
pour hot water directly into compartment or heat with hair dryer while defrosting.
CLEANING
Outside/Exterior
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry
and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do
not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach.
Inside
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. An open box of
baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three months.
