Avanti CF102Y - Manual (Page 8)

NOTE:
■ Turning the temperature control to“0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the freezer.
■ If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer
will not start.
■ Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
■ If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
> The Fast Freeze Switch (Amber)
• The light glows while the Fast Freeze switch is in the “ON’' position.
• The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate
continuously, lowering the cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
• This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
• 'When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of
freezer space at one time.
• Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
• It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast Freeze switch.
> Defrosting Your Freezer
• When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or V
4
to V
2
inch thick.
• Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
• How?
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition,
never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the
cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper
provided with your unit.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Turn the thermostat knob to "0”.
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
During the defrost, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
Place a shallow pan under the outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
Remove the drain plug on the outside wall of the freezer by pulling straight out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
Clean the interior of the freezer (See "Cleaning”Pg. 9).
Replace the plugs on the inside floor and outside wail.
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour, then replace the food.
Switch on the Fast Freeze for a minimum of
2 hours.
Return food to the freezer.
