The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control to the maximum position.

The range of the temperature control is from positbn"min" the warmest to "_max " the coldest.

After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged or power is lost, 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 compartment when the frost on the freezer walls is in excess

of _/4inch thick.

To start defrosting, remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect

the food. Then unplug the freezer, remove the food and drawers. After

the frost or ice has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of

freezer. Then the freezer can be restarted by a turning its thermostat to the

desired setting and plug in the freezen

CAUTION

Do not use boiling water as 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.

Use of Ice Cube Tray

The recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position "max".

Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.

The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.

To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.
