Defrosting
NEVER DEFROST THE UNIT BY USING A
METAL
TOOL
(E.G.,
ICE
PICK,
SCREWDRIVER) TO SCRAPE OR CHIP OFF
THE ICE.
You may defrost this freezer once every few
months or whenever ¼” of frost develops in on the
walls.
Remove the electrical plug from the wall socket,
open the door and remove all contents. Defrost
using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise
naturally until the frost melts, then wipe away the
remaining ice and water. You may also want to
clean the unit at this time. Once you have finished,
plug the freezer back in and make sure the
temperature knob is still set where you would like it
to be set.
The colder the settings, the more frost will build up.
Additionally, the more humid the ambient
conditions, the more frost will build up. Keep the

door closed as much as possible and avoid opening
the door unless necessary to minimize frost
build-up.
Cleaning your freezer
Before you start to clean your freezer, remove the
electrical plug from the power supply. You may
want to defrost the freezer at this time. If so, follow
the above instructions.
To clean the freezer, use a soft rag and a mixture of
lukewarm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons
baking soda in 1 quart of water works well). Clean
the freezer and then dry it with a soft cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Please check the following points:
The freezer is not working
- Check that the plug is inserted correctly into the
wall socket
- Check that there is power to the wall socket by
plugging in another appliance.
- Check the fuse.
The freezer is noisy when running
- Check to make sure that the freezer is level and
it is not in contact with another appliance or
furniture.
- Note: a gentle trickling sound is normal; this is
likely coolant in the sealed system or
condensate water from the unit

The freezer does not cool sufficiently
- If the door has been opened too often, or it has
been left open for a while it will take time for
the freezer to reach its set temperature.
- Check that the airflow from the rear of the
freezer has not been reduced or obstructed due
to insufficient clearance.
Storage
If the freezer is not in use for a long period of time,
it should be stored.
Disconnect the freezer from the power supply by
removing the plug from the wall socket.
Defrost, clean and dry the inside.
Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant
smells from building up while the freezer is not in
use.
CAUTION: store the unit in a way so that children
will not play with it- there is a danger of child
entrapment within the unit!
