PREPARING YOUR FREEZER FOR USE

Unpacking your Freezer

1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging without tilting or laying it on its side.

2. It is advisable to clean the inside of the Freezer with lukewarm water using a mild detergent and a soft cloth, and then dry it thoroughly prior to use. See Cleaning Your Freezer.

3. Free-standing installation only.
   Find a location for your unit that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Place the unit on a level surface. Make sure that there is at least 5 inches of space  between each side of your unit and the wall. Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause condensation to form, requiring more frequent defrosting of the unit.

4. Allow it 4 hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging it in.

5. The refrigeration system of the cabinet is designed to operate with the cabinet located on a flat surface. Avoid tilting the cabinet side.

Connecting Your Freezer
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk ofelectrical shock.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, 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.
This appliance requires a standard 115volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three- prong ground.
Always use ground fault protection where required by the electrical code.
Temperature Control

1. The temperature control dial is located at the back side of the cabinet.
   The range of the temperature control is from position “1” the warmest to “7” the coldest Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The
   recommended control setting is near the No. 4 position, which should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
   The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control dial to “7” and run for at least 2 hours before putting food inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.

2. Turning the temperature control dial to the “0” position until it clicks will switch off the power to the compressor.
   IMPORTANT: Turning the control dial to the “0” position is to turn off the cooling function;
   It does NOT disconnect the unit from the power supply.

3. To adjust the thermostat control dial: turn the control to a higher number for colder temperatures, a lower number for less cold temperatures. It is recommended that you adjust by one numerical increment at a time, allowing several hours for temperatures to stabilize between increments.

Cool Down Period: To ensure proper food storage, allow it 4 hours for the freezer to cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Already frozen foods may be placed in after the first few hours of operation, however you must wait 4 hours before placing in any unfrozen food.
IMPORTANT: The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage time.
Notes:
Do not store canned food or food stored in glass containers in the freezer compartment.

OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE

Moving Your Freezer
Remove all contents and make sure to tape down any loose items.
To avoid damaging the leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.
Tape the door shut.
Make sure your unit stays in the upright position during transportation.
Defrosting Your Freezer
After you have used your freezer for some time, frost will accumulate inside mostly on the upper part of the food liner. This is due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is open and it is normal. If this frost becomes thicker than 1/4″, it should be removed as it will become less energy efficient due to longer running time. Under normal circumstances, defrosting will not be necessary more than once a year. To defrost your freezer properly, follow these instructions:

1. Unplug freezer.

2. Quickly remove all frozen food and store it in baskets, cartons or other suitable containers. Keep them well covered with blankets to avoid excessive temperature rise.

3. Place pans of hot water in the freezer with the lid open to speed melting.

4. Using a wooden spatula or plastic scraper, remove the frost and ice off the inner liner walls as soon as it becomes loose (approximately 15 minutes from the start)
   WARNING: Do not use a mechanical device to defrost your freezer. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.

5. A cloth or towel soaked in hot water will help speed up the process. Remove ice from freezer as soon as it becomes loose. Allowing it to melt will only make cleaning it more difficult.

6. You are now ready to clean your freezer.

Please Note: Do not pour boiling water to defrost because it may damage the plastic parts.
In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the inner liner or the cooling coils, voiding any and/or all warranties which may be in effect.
Cleaning Your Freezer
WARNING: Do not clean your freezer with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Unplug your Freezer before cleaning or making any repairs.

1. Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the unit, and remove all the food and shelves.

2. Cleaning the Inside:
   We recommend the following cleaning method: sprinkle baking soda on the sides and bottom of the freezer, this will help in cleaning and odor removal. In order to retain the finish of the freezer cabinet, inside and outside, wash painted and plastic parts only with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Do not use, under any circumstances, a gritty soap or a scouring pad as they will scratch the finish. During the defrosting operation, some water may have dripped from the back flange of the lid cover. This is quite normal. Ice has built up on the lid insulation during normal operation and this ice will melt during defrosting. You will probably have to fold over and dry the gasket on the hinge side of the lid to complete the cleaning process

3. Cleaning the Outside:
   Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

4. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

5. Make sure the door gasket (seal) is kept clean in order to keep the unit running efficiently
