Food Storage Basket • Your freezer has a basket. Removable basket allows you to store food more accessibly or you can remove it if not needed. Defrosting and Draining • For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" inch thick. Never use irritating liquid or metal-lic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty). Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit. It is advisable to let ice and frost melt. • Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food. • Unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open. • For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and remove drain plug. This will let the water flow out into the tray. When done, screw on the drain plug in place. Note: Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow. • When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth. Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet. • Reset the temperature control to the desired setting. • Return the food into the freezer. 7
