OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the exterior and interior packaging
Before connecting the appliance to a power source and operating, let the unit stand upright for a minimum of 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER

The unit can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the Power button on the control panel or the Power button on the remote control.

COOLING MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate the cooling function, press the Mode Control button until the GREEN indicator illuminates. When cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes.
NOTE: In cooling mode, hot air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the hot air.
The temperature setting range is 61 ° F to 89° F. To set the temperature, press the+ orbuttons. The air conditioner has a 5° F temperature cushion; if the set temperature is within 5 ° F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs in fan only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor. Once the set temperature is achieved, the compressor will turn off and the fan runs continuously to circulate the air within the room.
To set the fan speed, press the Fan Speed button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the 3 fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to Low. To activate dehumidifying mode, press the Mode Control button until the PURPLE indicator illuminates. When switching between functions, there will be an approximate 3 minute transition time.
In dehumidifying mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies. To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be re circulated into the room. If room temperature is higher than 77° F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If room temperature is lower than 77° F, the fan speed is set at Low.
Note:
When using dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhausted to the outside and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining.
The air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set

FAN ONLY MODE

In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air within the room. To activate fan only mode, press the Mode Control button until the YELLOW indicator illuminates. In this mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan Speed button.
Note: When using fan only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required.

COMPRESSOR LOCK OUT

This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 64 ° F – 90° F. The compressor circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents over-heating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.

TIMER (DELAYED SWITCH ON/ OFF) FUNCTION

The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound.
Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound.
Fan sound may come from front and back air vents.

WATER DRAINAGE

During the process of cooling, some water will be extracted from the air into the unit. Most of this water is used to cool and exhausted to the outside. If the unit is operated in high humidity or low temperature environment, water will collect in the reservoir inside the unit. If the reservoir is full, the compressor will stop. To continue the cooling function, please drain the water. The air conditioner has the capacity to dehumidify up to 81 pints per day. The patented selfevaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in most environments when humidity is less than 70%. Areas with more than 70% humidity, the self-evaporating function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the remaining 2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner. When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and the RED Stop light illuminates. The Stop light indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained manually:

Manual Drainage

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Remove the exterior and interior packing
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER
The appliance can be switched ON or OFF by pressing the POWER button on the control panel or the ON/OFF button on the remote control

COOLING MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the COOL indicator light comes on. When the cooling mode is set, the compressor will start in approximately 3 minutes. In cooling mode, hot air is exhausted from the outdoor exhaust port and the exhaust hose must be connected to exhaust out the hot air.

The temperature setting range of this air conditioner is from 62°F / 17°C to 88°F / 30°C. To set the temperature, press the + or – buttons. This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion which if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs on fan-only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner.

To set the fan speed, press the FAN button. In cooling mode, the difference in noise level between the fan speeds is not very noticeable when the compressor is on. Try setting the unit to Fan only mode, you should be able to hear the difference between high and low fan speed settings.

DRY (DEHUMIDIFYING) ONLY MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner only dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to LOW. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the DRY indicator light is displayed. Please note that when switching function mode, there will be an approximately 3 minute transition time. In dehumidifying mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies. To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be re-circulated into the room. If the room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If the room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan speed is set at Low.
NOTE: When using the dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhausted to the outside, and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining. Also, the air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.

AUTOMATIC MODE
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling or fan-only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature is close to the unit. The fan speed is automatically selected and cannot be changed. To operate the unit in Auto mode when the unit is on, press the MODE button until the AUTO indicator light comes on.

FAN ONLY MODE
In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the FAN indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot beset. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the FAN button. When using FAN-only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is optional.

TIMER (DELAYED SWITCH ON / OFF) FUNCTION
This function mode enables a delayed switch ON or delayed switch OFF of the air conditioner. The time (hours) delay can be set, enabled and disabled.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING SWITCH OFF TIMER
With the air conditioner operating in any function mode, press the TIMER button. The TIMER OFF light will come on. Then set the desired time delay OFF hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hours to up to 10 hours, followed by a 1-hour increment up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches off. To cancel the delayed switch-off function, turn off the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

SETTING DELAYED SWITCH ON TIMER
With the air conditioner is off, press the TIMER button. The TIMER ON light will come on. Then set the desired time delay ON hours by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. The time increments are at 0.5 hours to up to 10 hours, followed by 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. When the delay time set has elapsed, the air conditioner switches on. To cancel the delayed switch-on function, turn on the air conditioner or adjust the time setting to 0.0.

SLEEP MODE
In this mode, the air conditioner gradually increases the set temperature in the cooling mode, decreases the noise level, and conserves energy. In Economy and cooling mode, the set temperature is increased by 1°C/ 2°F in the first 30 minutes. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C/ 2°F after an additional 30 minutes. This new temperature will remain the same for 7 hours. To activate this function mode, press the SLEEP button until the SLEEP indicator light comes on.

AUTO RESTART
In the event of a power outage, the air conditioner restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when power is restored.

CONTROLLING THE AIRFLOW DIRECTION
The louvers can be controlled to Auto-Swing or in a fixed direction. To control the airflow direction by Auto-Swing, press the SWING button. To set the louvers in a fixed angle or direction, press the SWING button while on Auto-Swing mode when the desired angle is chosen.

NOISE LEVEL
Portable air conditioners may make sounds that are not familiar to you. The sounds listed below are normal. Noise reflecting off hard surfaces such as a floor or wall can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.

The compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound
Water running from the evaporator to the water tank may make a splashing sound
Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound
Fan sound may come from front and back air vents

COMPRESSOR LOCKOUT
This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate at an ambient temperature of 64°F – 90°F. The compressor circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.

SHORTCUT FUNCTION

This air conditioner has a 5°F temperature cushion; if the set temperature is within 5°F of the ambient temperature, the unit runs in fan-only mode. This saves energy and prolongs the life of the compressor of the air conditioner. Once the set temperature is achieved, the compressor will turn off and the fan runs continuously to circulate the air within the room.
To set the fan speed, press the Fan Speed button.
Note: When the compressor is running, the sound difference between each fan speed is not very noticeable.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE

In this mode, the air conditioner dehumidifies the room, the compressor will activate intermittently depending on the ambient temperature and the fan speed is set to Low.
To activate the dehumidifying mode, press the Mode Control button until the PURPLE indicator illuminates. When switching between functions, there will be an approximate 3 minute transition time.
In dehumidifying mode, the exhaust hose does not need to be vented. If the exhaust hose is vented, the room will be cooled as it dehumidifies. To prevent cooling, remove the exhaust hose from the window kit and allow the warm air from the rear to be re-circulated into the room. If the room temperature is higher than 77°F, the fan speed can be adjusted. If the room temperature is lower than 77°F, the fan speed is set at Low.
NOTE:
When using the dehumidifying mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required. If vented, the warm air is exhausted to the outside and cooling within the room may occur. Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining.
The air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.

FAN ONLY MODE

In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air within the room. To activate the fan-only mode, press the Mode Control button until the YELLOW indicator illuminates. In this mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan Speed button.
Note: When using the fan-only mode, venting the exhaust hose to the outside is not required.

Refrigerant flowing may make a gurgling sound.
Fan sound may come from front and back air vents.

COMPRESSOR LOCKOUT
This portable air conditioner is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 64°F – 90°F. The compressor circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.

WATER DRAINAGE
The air conditioner has the capacity to dehumidify up to 96 pints per day. The patented self evaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in most environments when humidity is less than 70%. In areas with more than 70% humidity, the self-evaporating function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the remaining 2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner. When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and the RED Stoplight illuminates. The Stoplight indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained manually:

Manual Drain:

Turn off the unit.
Carefully roll the unit to a drain location or position a flat container, dish or optional drain bucket accessory (sold separately) under the drain area of the lower drain port.
Remove the drain cover and rubber plug and the condensed water will drain out automatically.

TIPS

Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible
The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9’.
Turn the air conditioner on early
Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more effective. The air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set temperature.
Reduce heat sources
Direct sunlight, televisions, computers and other heat generating appliances work against the air conditioner by introducing heat into the space.
• Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out
• Close doors and windows
• Keep ovens and stoves off
• Turn off unused lights
• Add weather stripping around windows and doors
Keep the air filter clean
Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the airflow and efficiency of the unit.
• Clean the washable pre-filter regularly
• Replace the activated carbon filter every 2-3 weeks depending on use
• Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents

INSTALLATION

Your Whynter portable air conditioner is equipped with a washable pre-filter and an Activated Carbon Filter.
The washable pre-filter removes large particles such as dust, pet hair and dander. The Activated Carbon filter is designed to remove smoke and other odors. It is recommended you replace the Activated Carbon filter every 2-3 months or as needed. Follow the steps below to install the filters.

Pull out the washable pre-filter.
Attach the activated carbon filter into the air intake frame.
Once the activated carbon filter is secured, reinstall the washable pre filter frame into the unit.

WATER DRAINAGE

The dehumidifying capacity of this unit is 70 pints per day. The patented self-evaporating function of the unit fully exhausts all condensation automatically in most environments when humidity is less than 70%. Areas with more than 70% humidity, the self-evaporating function can still exhaust about 98% of the moisture and the remaining 2% of moisture will be collected in the water tank of the air conditioner.
When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the air conditioner stops running and illuminates the Stop light (refer to page 8). This Stop light indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

• Manual drainage

Turn off the unit.
Carefully roll the unit to a drain location or position a flat container, dish or optional drain bucket accessory (sold separately) under the drain area of the lower drain port.
Remove the drain cover and rubber plug and the condensed water will drain out automatically.
Once all the condensed water is drained, replace the drain rubber plug and cover into the drain firmly.

• Continuous Gravity Drainage Option

This option is recommended if uninterrupted operation is desired.

. Remove the drain plug cover and rubber plug from the upper drain port.
Install the drain hose (sold separately) through the drain cover.
Thread the drain cover onto the upper drain port.
Place the open end of the drain hose downward to an area appropriate for draining.

WARNING: The hose must be directed downward from the upper drain port to allow the condensed water to flow with gravity.
• Note: Please contact [email protected] for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a list of optional accessories.

LOCATION

EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION

Expand each end of the exhaust hose about 6”
Install the hose connectors onto the exhaust hose by turning clockwise
Slide the slide locking hose connector onto the rear of the unit (Fig. 3)

Only extend the both hoses to the necessary length. We do not recommend extending more than 9′ long. If you are interested in purchasing an additional 5’ exhaust hose, please contact [email protected] for retail sales information.

WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION

The window kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal windows (Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b). However, it may be necessary to modify the installation procedures to accommodate your window.
NOTE:

If your window opening is smaller than the minimum length of the window slider kit, the window slider kit can be cut to fit the window opening. Never cut into the exhaust hose cut-out on the window slider kit.
If your window opening is larger than the maximum length of the window slider kit, additional material will be needed to cover the open space such as, Plexiglas, PVC plastic, ply wood, etc. Alternately, an additional window slider kit can be purchased to be used in combination with the included kit.
When using the window slider kit on a window or sliding door, additional security measures may be needed.

Open the window approximately 5”.
Adjust the length of the window slider to the same length and width of the opening of the window. Cut the window slider if necessary to fit the length of your window.
Insert the fixture through the back grooved side of the window slider hose cut-out. Line up the fixture with the 4 screw holes and tighten the fixture with 4 screws from the front side of the slider panel. (Fig. 4c)
Fit the window slider kit into the window opening and close the window to secure the window slider kit. For 5. long term installation, you may screw the window kit into your window frame.
Move the unit close to the window, extend the hose to the necessary length, keeping it as short and as straight as possible and attach the other end of the hose to the window slider kit.
Align the tab cut-outs of the hose connector to the tabs on the fixture and snap the hose connector to the window slider kit.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Remove the exterior and interior packaging

Additionally, if the exhaust hose is not vented, the unit may require more frequent draining. The air conditioner does not have a humidistat in which a specific humidity level can be set.

FAN ONLY MODE

In this mode, only the fan of the air conditioner runs and circulates the air in the room. To activate this function mode, press the MODE button until the Fan indicator light comes on. In this function mode, the temperature cannot be set. Subsequently, set the desired fan speed by pressing the Fan button. Fan Only mode does not require the use of the exhaust hose.

This unit has two air filters; a washable pre-filter and an activated carbon filter.

Switch off the air conditioner and remove the washable pre-filter and an activated carbon filter.
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap lightly to remove loose dust and dirt from the pre-filter.
Rinse the pre-filter thoroughly under warm running water (no hotter than 100F.)
Dry thoroughly before re-inserting the filters.

NOTE: The activated carbon filter is not washable. It is an optional filter and should be replaced every 2-3 months or as needed if used. Please contact [email protected] for retail sales information or visit whynter.com for a list of optional accessories

WARNING! Never operate the air conditioner without the pre-filter in place

CLEANING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Always switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the plug from the power supply outlet before cleaning the air conditioner.
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the body of the unit.
Never use harsh chemicals, oil-based products, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other cleaning solutions. These could possibly damage the body of the air conditioner.

END OF SEASON STORAGE

This portable air conditioner comes with one end of season storage cover. We highly recommend that storage cover bag is utilized when the unit is not going to be used for a period of time.
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children.

Switch off the air conditioner and disconnect the power plug from the power supply outlet before cleaning the air conditioner.

Gather the power cord and bundle it.
Remove the batteries from the remote.
If leaving the window kit in place, disconnect the exhaust hose from the window slider kit and place the included cover on the fixture. Otherwise, remove the window kit from the window opening. To remove the hose connector from the fixture on the window kit, slightly turn, push and gently pull the connector to release.
Place the storage cover over the air conditioner.

Note: Depending on use, it is recommended that the air conditioner be cleaned internally annually. Please contact Whynter at [email protected] for internal maintenance cleaning instructions.

Tips

Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible

The exhaust hose removes heat from the room. It should remain as short and straight as possible without sharp bends or twists to maximize efficiency. If the exhaust hose must be extended, do not exceed 9’.

Turn the air conditioner on early

Turning the air conditioner on early instead of waiting until the hottest point of the day will allow the unit to be more effective. The air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the room down and maintain the set temperature.

Reduce heat sources

Direct sunlight, televisions, computers and other heat generating appliances work against the air conditioner by introducing heat into the space.

Close window curtains and blinds to keep direct sunlight out
Close doors and windows
Keep ovens and stoves off
Turn off unused lights
Add weather stripping around windows and doors

Keep the air filter clean

Regular cleaning will help keep your air conditioner working properly. Dusty filters and vents greatly reduce the airflow and efficiency of the unit.

Clean the washable pre-filter regularly
Replace the activated carbon filter every 2-3 weeks depending on use
Vacuum any accumulated dust from around all vents

Installation and Operation

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING	To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic pre- cautions:
Read all instructions before using the appliance. Never allow children to operate or play with the appliance. Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids or harsh chemicals. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors.
CAUTION: This appliance is designed for making ice cream desserts.
Place your appliance on a hard and level surface that is strong enough to support it when ingredients are added.
Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
Do not install the appliance near an oven or other heating source.
Plug in the appliance into an exclusive, grounded wall power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION

A freestanding installation will allow you to install the ice cream maker in any place you desire provided that the required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be an adequate ventilation and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area. Allowance of at least 5 inches (127mm) of space around the appliance is suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or contact Whynter Service Department.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CULListed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new freezer may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, items stored on top of the freezer can also make noises.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158 – 194°F when running.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal function.
It is normal for the fan in the power supply to run all the time.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your freezer.

OPEN-DOOR WARNING SYSTEM
This portable freezer has an open-door warning system feature which alarms if the freezer door is left unopened for more than 1 minute. Close the freezer door to turn the alarm off.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the temperature setting to set “-8°F ” for at least two hours before introducing the food to be stored.

All frozen food products purchased should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid the frozen food from defrosting.
Storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturers should be always be followed.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not sterilize the food.

It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or warm food stuffs into the freezer.
Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place into the freezer.
Fresh foods should not be stored together with frozen foods.
When the temperature is set below 32°F, do not keep glass-bottled drinks such as beer and lemonade or soda cans, as the glass and cans might shatter.
Do not use this portable freezer as a refrigerator when the ambient temperature is 41°F as food can become frozen.
Note: For best performance, leave enough space inside the freezer compartment for air to circulate around the packages.

Cleaning and Maintenance

DEFROSTING AND DRAINING
WARNING: Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected. Do not touch the power cord when your hands are wet. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.

To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to scrape off frost or separate the frozen food.

Moisture contained in food and air may form a layer of frost inside the unit after a period of use. We highly recommend that the unit gets defrosted when frost becomes ¼” thick. The defrosting process for this unit is operated manually.

For complete defrosting:

Unplug the unit from its power source
Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes, insulated bags, picnic cooler, etc. Use towels and newspaper for insulation as needed
With the door open, use pans of hot water to speed the loosening of the frost. Remove large pieces of before they melt
Remove the clear drain plug from the inside base cabinet of the freezer. Also, remove the black drain plug from the side of the freezer to drain water.
Sponge excess water from the bottom of the freezer.
After defrosting, clean the inside and dry with a soft cloth to wipe away the remaining ice and water.

Once the compartment is wiped and dry, replace the drain plugs and plug in the freezer. Return the temperature value to its previous setting and return food to the freezer.

NOTE: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. DO NOT pour hot water directly into compartment or heat with hair dryer while defrosting.

CLEANING
Outside/Exterior
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach.

Inside
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three months.

PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the freezer is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect freezer from main power supply. Clean and dry the inside as instructed. Leave the freezer door open to prevent any mold and mildew growth.

Usage Tips:

Keep the freezer’s door closed as much as possible. Try not to open the door too frequently, especially when weather is hot and humid
Ensure that the unit has sufficient clearance for ventilation
For normal household use, it is recommended to set the thermostat in the middle setting.
Before loading the freezer with an item, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, defrost when frost is 3-5 mm thick.

PREPARING FOR VACATION
To maintain freezer in operation during vacations, be sure your house power is not turned off. For extended vacations or absences, you may prefer to move your frozen foods to a storage locker temporarily. If your freezer is to be left empty, disconnect power cord plug from power source. To prevent formation of odors, place open box of baking soda in freezer and leave freezer door open.

IN CASE OF EXTENDED POWER FAILURE
Keep freezer door/lid closed. Your freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admitted. If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large pieces. Add more ice as required

NOTE: Handling of dry ice can cause freezing of the hands, gloves or other protection is recommended. If dry ice is not available, move food to a frozen food locker temporarily until power is restored.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost buildup inside the freezer

Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

This tool box refrigerator is equipped with a lock to keep your beverages safe and secure. Please note that only the large roller tool drawer and refrigerator cabinet will be secured when the lock is used.

FRESH FOOD STORAGE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture – proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout refrigerator.
Fruit – wash, dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper.
Leafy vegetables- remove wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas then wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish – use fresh fish the same day as purchased.
Meat – store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture – proof. Re-wrap if necessary.
Leftovers – cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight-seal lid can also be used.
NOTE:
For best performance, leave enough space in the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

DEFROSTING
Under most ambient conditions, the appliance does not need to be defrosted. In cold ambient temperatures and/or high humidity, some frost may build up. To defrost the appliance, set the thermostat dial to “OFF”, remove frozen or perishable items and defrosting should occur in a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. For faster defrosting, remove all items from the appliance, unplug the appliance and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.

NORMAL SOUNDS:

The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. It becomes quieter as the operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:

Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils
Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature variations.
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the refrigerator compartment.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.

NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliance and in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CLEANING
