Defrosting Your Freezer - Premium PFR50801M Manual De Instrucciones

DEFROSTING YOUR FREEZER

Freezer should be manually defrosted.
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption,
defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls exceeds ¼ inch thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. 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.
 Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect
the food.
 Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".
 Unplug the freezer. The "POWER ON INDICATOR" light should be OFF.
 During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
 Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight
out.
 Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
 Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
 Clean the interior of the freezer.
