  o Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
  o Disconnect from the electrical power line,
  o Air the room in which the unit isolated for several minutes, and
  o Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in a unit, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the unit is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the unit is stated on the data plate inside the unit. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this piece of equipment.

• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the unit to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

• FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
• Use two or more people to move and install unit. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your unit, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). [For optimal performance, install the unit where the ambient temperature is between 72º and 78ºF (23º-26ºC).] This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing Your Freezer

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your freezer on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the freezer.
• Allow about 5” (12 cm) of space at the back and sides of the appliance and 4” (10 cm) at the top. This will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall 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 certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing items inside the cabinet.

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 an authorized service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a three-pin plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
• This freezer requires a standard 115Volts AC ~ 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong grounded receptacle.
• To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Reversing the Door Swing
This freezer has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, you can refer to the diagram below. If you have a problem, call ACCUCOLD® Customer Service at 1-888-4-MEDLAB.

NOTE: Some door styles may not be reversible. Consult our website for details

OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

Setting the Temperature Control

• To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature or intended use of the freezer.
• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to Max.
• The range of the temperature control is from position OFF to Max. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of Normal should be appropriate for most circumstances.

NOTE: If the freezer is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Freezer

• Turn the temperature control to OFF, unplug the freezer and remove the contents, including shelves and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should consist of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Defrosting Your Freezer

• This appliance requires manual defrosting. Before defrosting the unit, remove the contents of the freezer, then set the thermostat to OFF (the compressor will stop working). Leave the door open until ice and frost are completely melted. To speed up defrosting, you can place a container of warm water (about 125°F) into the cabinet. Soak up the melt water with clean toweling or a sponge and be sure the interior is dry before turning the thermostat back to its normal setting.

NOTE: It is not advisable to heat the interior of the freezer directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting since this can deform the cabinet interior.

• Never use a sharp or metallic object to help remove the ice from the walls of the freezer as this can damage the evaporator coils and invalidate your warranty. Instead, use the plastic scraper included with the freezer.

Vacation Time

• Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months, remove contents and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

Moving Your Freezer

• Remove all stored items, and then securely tape down all loose items, such as shelves, inside your freezer. Tape the door shut.
• Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.
• Be sure the freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the freezer with a blanket or similar item.

Energy-Saving Tips

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let warm items cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to package and label stored items properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• 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.
• Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
