ture inside the cabinet.
To turn o the appliance, remove the DC plug from the DC socket.
DEFROSTING AND DEODORIZING
When the ice layer on the inner cabinet sides is over 2/10” the unit should be defrosted before operaon
to improve eciency.
Disconnect power, remove all items and clean unit. Open lid and let unit sit unl all ice has melted. Aer
defrosng, remove excess water and clean unit with a so rag and switch the appliance on.
Note: Never remove ice with sharp objects.
Place an open box of baking soda in the appliance to remove any bad odors.
MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR CLEANING
Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
Clean the inside of the cabinet whenever necessary, using a warm soluon of water and baking soda (1 table-
spoon to every 2 liters of water)
Dry with a so cloth.
Dirt from the condenser should be cleaned by a qualied technician when necessary.
NOT A MALFUNCTION
It is normal to hear gurgling sounds caused by the ow of refrigerant when each cooling cycle ends.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 160°F -195°F when running.
The noise emied by the cooling fan on the condenser is normal.
SAFETY
A separate grounded 15A socket outlet should be used on 120Vac and at least a 120Wdc socket
on 12Vdc.
In the event of any malfuncon of your freezer, please contact Grape Solar Technical Support.
