manual abstract
It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recommended that food not be placed in the freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating (cycling) regularly and no final adjustments are necessary. Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycling) regularly, it is ready to freeze and store foods. The proper food storage temperature is -18°C (0°F). Do not operate freezer at temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), as this does not improve food preservation and only results in longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not advisable to freeze more than 25 kg.(50 lbs.) of food in any 24 hour period. It will take 15 or more hours of unit running time to freeze this amount of food. When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages, store them against the walls. The sensing bulb of the thermostat is fastened to the liner wall on the “insulation side” of the freezer. In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it is advisable to inspect contents and check freezer operation regularly. SETTING The temperature of the freezer compartment is controlled by adjusting/setting theTEMPERATURE thermostat control knob, located on the front of the freezer cabinet. To start the freezer CONTROL and achieve maximum cooling quickly; • Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the furthest (maximum) setting on the darker blue (wide) section of the graduated control dial. • Allow the freezer to run at this setting for 3-4 hours. • When maximum cooling is achieved, turn back the temperature control knob setting to the 2 o’clock position on the graduated blue control dial. See Fig.14. • To turn off the freezer (no cooling), rotate the control knob to the “0”(off) position. See Fig.15. Fig. 14 Fig. 15 3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE DEFROSTING Moisture will be introduced to the liner during lid openings and the addition of unfrozen food packages. The moisture will accumulate in the form of frost, mostly on the upper part of the liner walls. Accumulation of frost up to 6 mm (1/4") on the liner is not harmful. However, when it becomes heavier, it should be removed as it slows cooling, resulting in longer running (cycle) times. Under average conditions, defrosting will not be necessary more than once or twice a year. Besides frost, food particles and other foreign substances may accumulate and soil the liner. For proper defrosting and cleaning, the following method is recommended: a) Unplug freezer. covered with blankets to avoid excessive temperature rise. c) A kettle/pot of hot water placed in the center of the cabinet will greatly accelerate defrosting. d) With the help of a wooden spatula or a plastic defrosting scoop, remove the frost and ice off the liner walls as soon as it becomes loose (approximately 15 minutes from start)-do not use any sharp instruments as this may result in damage to the liner wall and/or sealed system, voiding any and/or all warranties which may be in effect. Using a piece of cloth soaked in hot water, the process can be considerably accelerated. As soon as the ice has fallen to the bottom, remove it. Do not let it melt in the freezer as this will increase b) Quickly remove all frozen food and store in baskets, defrosting and cleaning time. cartons or other suitable containers. Keep food well CLEANING Now the liner is ready to be cleaned. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom and walls. This will help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to retain the finish of the freezer cabinet inside and outside, wash only with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Do not under any circumstances use a gritty soap or a kitchen scouring cleanser, as these tend to scratch the finish. ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL FAILURE In the event of a general power failure, it is important to keep the contents of your freezer frozen. For your protection, it is recommended to locate a dealer of dry ice (solidified carbon dioxide) as soon as possible in order to know where to go in case of an emergency. Many ice cream manufacturers use dry ice and this will keep the contents of your freezer at safe temperatures until the emergency has passed. In case of failure, it is recommended to keep the freezer well covered with blankets.This will help preserve the “cold” inside the freezer. If no help is available within 12 hours, the freezer contents should be transferred into a neighbors freezer (if available). In the event of mechanical or electrical failure of the freezer, contact a service agent immediately and give complete information of your freezer, the model number and the serial number. These are shown on the serial plate located on the exterior (rear) cabinet wall. 4 TROUBLESHOOTING From time to time a problem may arise which is minor in nature, and a service call may not be necessary; use this troubleshooting guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call an authorized service depot or Danby’s Toll Free Number for assistance. Tel:1-800-26 PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED SOLUTION 1) F...
