4. Maintenance
4.1 Defrosting
This freezer requires manual defrosting. Defrost the unit when frost accumulation reaches about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick. To defrost:
- Unplug the freezer from the power outlet.
- Remove all food items and store them in another freezer or cooler.
- Open the drain plug located at the bottom of the freezer to allow water to escape. Place a shallow pan or towel underneath to collect the water.
- Leave the lid open to allow the frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heating devices to speed up defrosting, as this can damage the unit.
- Once defrosted, clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before plugging the unit back in.
4.2 Cleaning
- Regularly clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- Ensure the condenser coils at the back of the unit are free of dust and debris for optimal energy efficiency.
