Haier BD-101G Use and Care Manual - Page 4

Do not use cleansers such as soaps, detergents, scouring powders or spray cleaners that can cause odors inside the freezer. Wash the basket in mild detergent solution and dry with a soft cloth. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the freezer. Change the box every three months. Do not wash any plastic parts from your freezer in the dishwasher. DEFROSTING Defrost whenever frost becomes 114" thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using the plastic scraper included with the freezer. To defrost, first turn on the "Quick-Freeze" Switch for about 4 hours. This will harden items which you may want to put back in freezer later. Remove foods and basket from freezer. Remov'e drain plug and place a pan under drain to collet water. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in the freezer. Wipe the interior of the freezer and drain hole with a cloth or clean as described in `Care and Cleaning' section of this manual. Reinsert drain plug and plug the power cord into electrical outlet. Turn the temperature control to the desired setting. You may want to run the quick-freeze feature for a few hours and then adjust the temperature control to the desired setting. Return food and freezer basket to the freezer. TROUBLESHOOTING Freezer does not operate -Not plugged in. Check that the plug is inserted into the wall outlet. -Circuit breaker was tripped or fuse blown. Turns on and off frequently -Turn the temperature control dial to a cooler setting. -If you have just placed a large amount of food into the freezer, the freezer will run longer and more frequently until the food is frozen and the temperature is stable. -The freezer is stored in direct sunlight or too close to a heat source. Reposition the freezer in a better location. Seems to run too long -If you have just placed a large amount of food into the freezer, the freezer will run longer and more frequently until the food is frozen and the temperature is stable. -Check for proper clearances. -Frequent door openings let cold air escape. -Make sure the quick-freeze switch is not in the ON position Vibration -If freezer vibrates, more than likely it is not level.
