INSTALLATION

Read this entire manual thoroughly prior to equipment set-up, operation and/or maintenance.

IMPORTANT:

  • If the freezer has recently been transported on its side, allow the unit to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
  • Make sure all shelves and accessories are properly installed before plugging in the unit.
  • Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service technician for all servicing and repair needs.
  • Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit.
  • Make sure the freezer has reached the desired temperature before loading.

Location Guide

  • Install unit on a strong and leveled surface. If the surface is uneven, the freezer may be noisy or malfunction.
  • Install unit in an indoor, well ventilated area. Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and damage to the unit. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • For best performance, allow 6” of clearance on sides and the back of the unit during operation.
  • Avoid installation in high humidity and/or dusty areas. High humidity can cause the unit to rust and may decrease efficiency. Dust collected on the condenser coil may cause unit to malfunction.
  • Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment. High ambient temperatures may cause the compressor to malfunction.

Electrical Warnings

  • Ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
  • The freezer should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Each unit should have its own dedicated outlet. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
  • Do not use extension cords.
  • Ensure the freezer is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
  • If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, unplug it from the outlet.
  • To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
  • After unplugging the unit, wait 10 minutes prior to plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

  • We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
  • Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.

CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR

  • If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth.
  • If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT

  • When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap.
  • Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners or bleach that may damage the interior finish of the cabinet.
  • Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly. Simply remove the door gasket from the frame of the door, soak it in warm water and soap for 30 minutes. Dry with soft cloth and replace.
