OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING
The freezer should be defrosted twice a year or when roughly a 1/4 inch
layer of frost has formed on the cabinet walls. Turn the thermostat dial
to "0" and unplug the power cord. Remove all contents and leave the lid
open. Follow the instructions below:
1. The interior defrost drain is located on the inside fl oor of the cabinet.
Remove the cover from the defrost drain. Defrosted water will fl ow
into the hole and out through the exterior defrost drain cap.
2. The exterior defrost drain cap is located on the front of the cabinet.
Some models can be turned by hand and some require that you turn
the cap with a coin or fl at-bladed screwdriver. Gently pull the drain
cap out until the water hole is visible.
3. Twist the exterior drain cap so that the arrow points downward. Place
a bucket or pan under the drain cap to catch defrosted water. Check
the freezer regularly during defrosting to make sure that the water is
not overfl owing.
4. When all water has been drained, twist the drain cap until the arrow
is pointing upwards and then push inward until it is fl ush with the
cabinet.
5. Replace the cover in the interior defrost drain. Make sure the interior
is dry before you plug the freezer in.
After defrosting is complete, set the temperature control to maximum for
2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired temperature setting.
IMPORTANT: Never use electrical appliances during defrosting. Do not
use pointed or sharp objects to remove frost as this will damage the
refrigerant lines. If these lines are accidentally pierced it will render the
freezer inoperable and void the manufacturer's warranty.
