Electrical Connections
Be sure to check the data plate, located on the liner of the cabinet, for required voltage prior to connecting the
unit to power. The specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.
The standard unit is equipped with an eight (8) foot Power Cord that requires a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 1 phase
properly grounded electrical receptacle. The Power Cord comes with a 3 prong plug for grounding pur-
poses. Any attempt to cut off the grounding spike or to connect to an ungrounded adapter plug will void the
warranty, terminate the manufacturers responsibility and could result in serious injury.
The electrical circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on
a circuit and not plugged into an extension cord.
OPERATION
Initial Start Up
After satisfying the installation requirements, the freezer is ready to start. The unit will start when the Power
Cord is connected to the required power source. If the Compressor does not start when the unit is initially
plugged in, check to make sure that the Temperature Control is not in the ‘off’ position. Allow the unit to run for
two hours before loading it with product. When loading the unit with product do not load above the ‘product
load line’ indicated on the liner.
Temperature Control
The Temperature Control is located at the front of the condensing unit area. Turn the Temperature Control
knob clockwise to obtain colder cabinet temperatures and vice versa. Allow the unit a minimum of two hours
to respond to a control setting adjustment.
Defrost
Both Silver King Models SKDI and SKFS are manual defrost units. The unit should be defrosted whenever
the walls accumulate a frost layer that is 1/4 inch thick. To defrost the unit, first unload the product from the
unit, then either turn the Temperature Control knob to the ‘off’ position (fully counterclockwise) or disconnect
the Power Cord from the electrical receptacle, and remove or open the Lid. After the frost has melted or come
loose from the walls, wipe out the cabinet interior. Do not attempt to scrape or chisel off the frost as you could
do irreparable damage to the unit.
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued trouble free
operation and maximizing the life of your appliance.
Cabinet Surfaces
The cabinet interior and exterior surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water and
mild soap and wiped dry with a soft cloth. Should a surface become discolored, do not attempt to clean with
an abrasive cleanser or scouring pad. Use a soft cleanser and rub with the grain of the metal to avoid
scratching the surface.
Condenser
Periodically, accumulated dust must be removed from the Condenser. First, disconnect the unit from the
power supply. To clear the dust, vacuum or brush the Condenser fins located at the bottom front of the
cabinet. This will need to be done regularly to maintain the Compressor warranty!
