4. Choose a dry and well-ventilated place where there is no corrosive air.

Testing

1. Clean the freezer with lukewarm water and detergent, and wipe dry. Notes: Electrical components should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to the “MED” position, and plug the freezer into the wall outlet. The compressor will begin to run.

NOTE

1. Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the freezer.

Storage of Food

How to Use the Freezer Compartment

• Fresh foods such as fish and meat can be frozen to maintain freshness, and keep the nutrients in the food.
• Food should be wrapped in aluminum foil, or some other type of airtight packing.
• Do not allow frozen food in freezer to touch foods just placed into freezer. It can damage the food.
• Frozen foods from the store should be placed in the freezer promptly, so they do not thaw.
• Never place fresh vegetables and fruits into the freezer as they can get freezer burn.

Super Freezing

• Super freezing is to protect food from damage by large ice crystals that form when food is frozen at a slow rate. With fast freeze, smaller ice crystals form, which does not penetrate the “cell membranes” of the food. This helps keep the nutrients and freshness of the food
• Fresh fish and meat, which will be stored for long periods of time, should be fast frozen.
• To operate super freezing, press the super freezer knob. Once the food is frozen, press again, it will stop.

Defrosting

1. When the freezer operates for a long period of time, the surface of the evaporator and the drawers may become covered with a layer of white frost. This frost will reduce the energy efficiency of the unit, and make the freezer less effective. When this frost forms, it should be promptly removed.
2. When defrosting, unplug the freezer, and remove all items from the freezer. Either allow the frost to melt naturally from the warm air in the room, or carefully use a plastic scraper. Finally, wipe away any remaining ice and water, plug the freezer in, and return the food to the freezer.

CAUTION: Never use sharp tools to chip ice away.
