Operating Your Freezer
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located at the rear bottom corner of the freezer.
:
When you turn the unit on for the first time, set the control to its maximum
position, 6, using a coin or flathead screwdriver.
The range of the temperature control is from position 1 (warmest) to 6. After
24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits
your needs. A setting of 3~4 should be correct for normal freezer use.
To turn the appliance off, you must unplug it.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to
5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the freezer will not start.
Defrosting Your Freezer
For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 1/4 inch thick.
:
1. To start defrosting, unplug the freezer and remove stored contents and
drawers. Contents should be placed in a cooler to keep them from thawing.
2. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer
floor. After the frost or ice has melted, dry the interior of the freezer thoroughly.
3. Restart the freezer by plugging it in and turning the thermostat to the desired
position. Once it is cold, return the drawers and contents to the freezer.
CAUTION
: Do not use boiling water to help speed up defrosting because this
could damage the plastic parts of the unit. In addition, never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will
void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
Storing Frozen Items
This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of medical products.
:
Storage life varies and the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen items should be
followed when defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen items should be stored in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions for a three-star freezer.
Place frozen items into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If
there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow them regarding storage
times.
Do not allow ice to build up excessively. Be sure to defrost when the ice
reaches a thickness of 1/4 inch (see Defrosting Your Freezer above).
