Manual Defrost - Minus Forty 07-CSGF Owner's Manual

MANUAL DEFROST

This freezer is designed for automatic defrost. Every eight hours the refrigeration system is turned OFF
and the defrost/drain heaters are activated to melt the ice from the evaporator coil and drain pan. If the
freezer is not leveled properly, the water may not drain out of the freezer, it will re-freeze and ice grad-
ually builds up. Excessive ice buildup reduces cooling performance and may cause the failure of re-
frigeration system and product loss. Ice buildup may be noticed through the evaporator fan grill on the
coil fins.
To perform a manual defrost, follow these steps:
1. Press the UP arrow button and hold it for 6 seconds.
2. Wait until the electronic control stops defrost (the Def LED dot flashes)
3. If ice is still noticeable on the evaporator, press the freezer switch to the "Off" position then
disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
4. Take down the evaporator shroud and use a hair dryer to quickly melt the ice.
5. Make sure the freezer is leveled side to side, and front to back or slightly tilted front to back.
6. Replace the evaporator shroud.

CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, disconnect the freezer from the power
source before cleaning. Press the freezer switch to the "Off" position, then unplug the power cord
from the receptacle. Keep liquids away from electrical and electronic components.
Do not apply hot water on cold glass components. Allow glass to warm sufficiently to prevent
shattering.
Do not use ammonia or bleach based cleaners or abrasive type cleaners.
Do not use abrasive cleaning pads.
To clean the exterior whether it has the original finish or a decal package, use only a mild non-abrasive
liquid cleaner, water and a soft cloth. For stainless steel parts, a commercial stainless steel polish and
cleaner can be used. Always apply the cleaner to the soft cloth and then clean the freezer. Never apply
the cleaner directly to the freezer. Excess liquid applied to the surface may seep into the electronic con-
trol and switches which can cause an electrical hazard or a malfunction.
