Cleaning and Maintenance
PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the freezer is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect freezer from main power supply. Clean
and dry the inside as instructed. Leave the freezer door open to prevent any mold and mildew growth.
Usage Tips:
Keep the freezer’s door closed as much as possible. Try not to open the door too frequently, especially
when weather is hot and humid
Ensure that the unit has sufficient clearance for ventilation
For normal household use, it is recommended to set the thermostat in the middle setting.
Before loading the freezer with an item, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, defrost when frost is 3-5 mm thick.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
To maintain freezer in operation during vacations, be sure your house power is not turned off. For extended
vacations or absences, you may prefer to move your frozen foods to a separate freezer temporarily. If your
freezer is to be left empty, disconnect power cord plug from power source. To prevent formation of odors,
place open box of baking soda in freezer and leave freezer door open.
IN CASE OF EXTENDED POWER FAILURE
Keep freezer door/lid closed. Your freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admit-
ted. If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large pieces. Add more ice
as required
NOTE: Handling of dry ice can cause freezing of the hands —gloves or other protection is recommended.
If dry ice is not available, move food to a separate freezer/ refrigerator temporarily—until power is restored.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heat-
ing ducts, and out of direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or
spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts
down on frost buildup inside the freezer
Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and
extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
