HELPFUL HINTS:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help
speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost
will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is
very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.
This freezer is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage
time is up to three months.
The storage life of frozen foods varies, and the recommended storage time
should not be exceeded.
The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed
when defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with
the frozen foods manufacturer's instructions for a home freezer.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If
there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions
regarding storage times.
The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice buildup.
Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.
