DEFROSTING
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning or repositioning the freezer, you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electrical power supply.
DEFROSTING THE UNIT
NOTE: Unique Appliance’s freezers are some of the most ecient refrigeration products available
in the market today. In order for our freezers to do that they do not have an “Auto Defrost” option
to further aid in their ability to be so energy ecient. Below we have outlined a few steps which
can be taken to eectively manually defrost your appliance with ease.
Over time the freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed periodically with the provided plastic scraper. However, when the ice becomes very thick
on the interior walls, complete defrosting should be carried out. Perform this operation when the
appliance is empty and disconnected from the power supply.
NEVER USE SHARP METAL TOOLS TO SCRAPE OR CHIP OFF FROST FROM THE INTERIOR COM-
PARTMENT AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE BEYOND REPAIR. DO NOT USE HEAT
SOURCES SUCH AS ELECTRIC OR GAS HEATERS TO COMPLETE THE DEFROST PROCESS.
To perform a complete defrost follow the steps below:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
2. Remove any stored food and store in coolers, or wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in
a cool place.
3. Leave the doors open.
4. Remove all storage drawers.
5. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer
compartment and close the door.
6. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior thoroughly.
7. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave running (while empty) for at least 2
hours allowing the interior to cool suciently.
8. Reload the freezer with the storage drawers and previously removed food.
ATTENTION: Partial thawing of frozen food during defrosting may shorten its safe storage life-
span.
