Note: Fresh fish and meat that will be stored for long periods of time should be
fast frozen.
 To operate Fast Freeze, turn on the left-hand switch on the control panel by
pushing "―". The Fast Freeze indicator light will turn on, showing that the unit
is now in the Fast Freeze mode. Once the food is frozen, turn off the switch by
pressing "O". The light will turn off.
Note: While the unit is in Fast Freeze, the thermostat setting is overridden.
ALERT Light
The ALERT light on the control panel turns on when the temperature inside the
unit is different from the temperature set at the thermostat. The light will turn off
when the temperature is at or near the set temperature.
POWER Light
This light indicates that the unit is plugged in and receiving power.
Defrosting
When the freezer operates for a long period of time, the surface of the evaporator
and the drawers may become covered with a layer of frost. This frost will reduce
the energy efficiency of the unit, and make the freezer less effective. When this
frost forms, it should be promptly removed.
To defrost, unplug the freezer and place all items from inside into a frozen food
locker or another freezer. Either allow the frost to melt naturally from the warm air
in the room, or carefully use a plastic scraper. Finally, wipe away any remaining
ice and water, plug the freezer in, and return food to the freezer.
CAUTION: Never us sharp tools to chip ice away.
Precautions
1. The freezer should be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
2. This unit is intended for operation indoors, and is not intended for exposure
to rain.
3. Do not place hazardous or flammable materials inside, or directly next to, the
freezer.
4. Do not sit on the freezer, or place heavy objects on top of the freezer.
