Baskets
The baskets are designed for the storage and organization
of food. The handles can be placed in two positions, as
shown. The baskets can either be placed or stacked inside
the cabinet, or hung on the edge of the inner casing. To
change the configuration from stackable baskets to hanging
baskets, turn the plastic pieces outward and lock into place.
To change the configuration from hanging baskets to
stackable baskets, simply reverse the procedure.
DEFROSTING
Before any cleaning or repositioning is carried out, you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electrical power supply.
The SunDanzer appliances are designed with a unique low-frost system that reduces frost buildup on the interior walls.
To maintain efficiency for freezers, defrost the cabinet when the ice thickness is more than ¼ inch (6mm). A thorough
cleaning at least once a year, inside and out, will help maintain efficient operation and a high standard of hygiene.
Freezer Defrosting
The appliance compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed periodically with a
plastic scraper (provided with some units). However, when the ice becomes very thick on the interior walls, complete
defrosting should be carried out. Perform this operation when the appliance is empty and disconnected from the power
supply.
To carry out complete defrosting:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.
2. Remove any stored food and store in coolers, or wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open.
4. Remove the plug from the defrost water drain located in the bottom interior of the cabinet.
5. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside of the appliance and close the
lid.
6. The defrost water can be collected by placing a pan under the defrost drain located on the exterior bottom front of
the cabinet.
7. When defrosting is complete, wash and dry the interior thoroughly. Be sure to replace the plug on the defrost
water drain.
8. Reconnect the appliance to the electrical supply and leave running (while empty) for at least 2 hours allowing the
interior to cool sufficiently.
9. Replace the previously removed foodstuff.
CLEANING
Internal Cleaning
Wash the inside of the appliance with luke warm water and a mild soap. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning
agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or highly perfumed cleaning products to clean the
interior as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong odor. A sponge, towel, or soft brush is
recommended. Washing with a mixture of two table spoons of baking soda to 1 quart (1.14L) warm water. After
cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape or chip off frost from the interior compartment as this could
damage the appliance beyond repair. Do not use heat sources, such as electric or gas heaters to
complete the defrost process.
ATTENTION: A rise in temperature of frozen food products during defrosting may shorten
