Fast Freeze Setting (Position # 7 in the Freezer Operation Mode)
The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering the
cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at
one time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
Defrosting Your Freezer
• When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½ 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 the plastic scraper provided with your unit.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Unplug the freezer.
During the defrost process, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by screwing 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.
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
Turn the temperature control knob in a clockwise direction to the maximum position "7" for a
minimum of 2 hours.
Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
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.

The Freezer Compartment

This compartment 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 three star frozen food storage compartment or 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 build up. Be sure to defrost
when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.
Storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in
the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
