Cleaning your freezer 
Before you start to clean your freezer, remove the 
electrical plug from the power supply. You may 
want to defrost the freezer at this time. If so, follow 
the above instructions. 
To clean the freezer, use a soft rag and a mixture of 
lukewarm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons 
baking soda in 1 quart of water works well). Clean 
the freezer and then dry it with a soft cloth. 
TROUBLESHOOTING
Please check the following points: 
The freezer is not working 
- Check that the plug is inserted correctly into the 
wall socket
- Check that there is power to the wall socket by
plugging in another appliance.
-
Check the fuse.
The freezer is noisy when running 
- Check to make sure that the freezer is level and 
it is not in contact with another appliance or 
furniture. 
- Note: a gentle trickling sound is normal; this is
likely coolant in the sealed system or 
condensate water from the unit
