6.
After cleaning reconnect and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.

DEFROSTING
A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed
object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.
1.
Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.

To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.

VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences;
1.
Remove all foods.
2.
Disconnect from electrical outlet.
3.
Clean the freezer thoroughly, including defrost pan.
4.
Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
POWER FAILURE
·
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your freezer temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by blacking dry ice on top of packages.
·
Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours.
·
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
