Freezer Features and Use Operating Your Freezer • Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps. • Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. “MIN” is cold and “MAX” is coldest. Initially set the temperature on “4”. Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours set the freezer to your desired setting. • In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
Food Storage Basket • Your freezer has 2 baskets. Removable basket allows you to store food more accessibly or you can remove it if not needed. Defrosting and Draining • For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty). Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.
Food Storage Information Frozen Food: • Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills. • Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This will prevent unnecessary energy use. • When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary. • Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.
Proper Freezer Care and Cleaning Cleaning and Maintenance WARNING: To avoid electric shock always unplug your freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury. CAUTION: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage. • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water.
Power Interruptions • Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before reusing.
