A:Answer1.45 amps @ 115 vac for 7.0 CF. The 3.5 CF uses 1.4 amps.
The yearly power use rating is 250 kWh.
Your actual power use depends on the room temperature where the freezer is located. Mine is down in a cool basement, and it seems like it's using less power than the old 3.5 CF freezer I was using before (it died). I know this 7.0 CF doesn't make as much noise. Maybe the thermo insulation is better in this Insignia, so the compressor doesn't need to run as much.
A:AnswerThis unit includes a storage basket and an ice shovel (for removing ice build up inside your freezer). To defrost the unit, remove the drain plug inside your freezer, then place a shallow pan under the drainage hole on the outside of your freezer to catch the water from melted ice.
