Setting The Temperature Control
The temperature of the freezer compartment
is controlled by adjusting/setting the thermostat control
knob, located on the front of the freezer cabinet
To start the freezer and achieve maximum
cooling quickly:
• Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to
the furthest (maximum) setting on the darker
blue (wide) section if the graduated control dial.
Allow the freezer to turn at this setting for 3-4 hours.
• When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back
the temperature control knob setting to the 2
o’clock position on the graduated blue control|
dial. See Fig.15.
• To turn off the freezer (no cooling) rotate the control
knob to the “0” (off) position. See Fig. 14.
Care and Maintenance
Defrosting
Moisture will be introduced into the cabinet
during lid openings and the addition of unfrozen
food packages. The moisture will accumulate in
the form of frost mostly on the upper part of the
freezer liner walls.
Accumulation of frost up to 6 mm (1/4") on the
liner is not harmful. However, when it becomes
heavier, it should be removed as it retards
cooling resulting in longer running (cycle) times.
Frost may be removed with a wooden spatula or
a plastic defrosting scoop by simply scraping off
the accumulations from the side of the walls.
Do not use any sharp instruments as this may
result in damage to the liner wall and/or sealed
system, voiding any and/or all warranties which
may be in effect.
Under average conditions, defrosting will not be
necessary more than once or twice a year.
Besides frost, food particles and other foreign
substances may may accumulate and soil the
liner. For proper defrosting and cleaning, the
following method is recommended:
a) Unplug freezer.
b) Quickly remove all frozen food and store them
in baskets, cartons or other suitable
containers. Keep them well covered with
blankets to avoid excessive temperature rise.
c) A kettle/pot of hot water placed in the center
of the liner will greatly accelerate defrosting.
d) With the help of a wooden spatula or a
plastic defrosting scoop, remove the frost and
ice off the liner walls as soon as it becomes
loose (approximately 15 minutes from start).
Using a piece of cloth soaked in hot water,
the process can be considerably accelerated.
As soon as the ice has fallen to the bottom,
remove it. Do not let it melt in the freezer as
this will increase defrosting and cleaning time.
Cleaning
Now the liner is ready to be cleaned. Sprinkle
baking soda on the bottom and walls. This will
help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to
retain the finish of the freezer cabinet inside and
outside, wash only with warm water and mild
soap, then rinse and dry. Do not use under any
circumstances, a grit soap or a kitchen scouring
cleanser as they tend to scratch the finish.
Electrical and Mechanical Failure
In the event of a general power failure, it is
important to keep the contents of your freezer
frozen. For your protection, it is recommended to
locate a dealer of dry ice (solidified carbon
dioxide) as soon as possible in order to know
where to go in case of an emergency. Many ice
cream manufacturers use dry ice and this will
keep the contents of your freezer at safe
temperatures until the emergency has passed.
In case of failure, it is recommended to keep the
freezer well covered with blankets. This will help
preserve the “cold” inside the freezer. If no help
is available within 12 hours, the freezer contents
should be transferred into a neighbors’ freezer
(if available).
In the event of mechanical or electrical failure of
the freezer, contact your dealer immediately and
give him complete information of your freezer, the
model number and the serial number. These are
shown on the serial plate located on the rear
(exterior) cabinet wall.
