Operation
When the unit is first started, you will hear the compressor running almost continuously.
As the set temperature is reached, the compressor will alternately turn itself off and on
automatically to maintain the correct temperature.
Use a coin or other thin-edged device to rotate the thermostat dial. The higher the dial is
set in the clockwise direction, the lower the final temperature.
Adjust the thermostat according to the surrounding (ambient) temperature. If the ambient
temperature is 60ºF or lower, set the thermostat between “COLDER” and “COLDEST”.
When the temperature is above 60ºF, set the thermostat between “COLD” and “COLDER”.
NOTE: To prevent excessive strain on the compressor, do not leave the unit at the
“COLDEST” setting for more than an hour at a time.
When many items will be stored, or if the items to be stored are relatively warm, the
thermostat should be regulated to a colder setting.
For long-term storage, set the control at “COLDER”.
To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat to “OFF”.
When the unit is to be disconnected, pull out the power cable plug, then defrost and clean
the unit. Leave it open for storage.
Defrosting
To defrost the unit, turn off the power.
Normally, once the compressor stops running, the temperature inside the unit increases
gradually. Any frost that has collected in the unit will melt. Screw out the plug in the drain
hole on the floor of the cooling compartment and also remove the plug from the
corresponding drain hole on the outside of the unit so that any liquid that collects in the
cooling compartment can flow out through the drain hole.
