I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products. There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so care should be taken when cleaning.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
To Defrost the Freezer
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or blankets. Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and remove the plug. Open the freezer door. Fold out the defrost flip spout. Place a suitable container under the spout to collect the defrost water. After defrosting, clean and dry the interior. Switch the appliance on and replace any frozen food. Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the freezer and loosening the frost with a suitable plastic scraper. If the temperature of frozen food is allowed to rise during defrosting, its storage life may be shortened.
When the Appliance is Not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
