SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

  1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

  2. This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.

  3. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

  4. Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug, or the connector end.

  5. Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
    Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

  6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your freezer.

  7. If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

  8. After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when your hands are damp or wet. The skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

  9. Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: ”…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F”.
    “…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
    “…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can.

  10. This refrigerator should not be recessed or built in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

  11. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

  12. Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

  13. WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

  14. WARNING: do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

  15. WARNING: do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

  16. WARNING: do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Installing Your Freezer

Unpacking Your Freezer

  1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
  2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape, or printed materials before powering on the freezer.

Adjusting Your Freezer

  • Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
  • Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
  • When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
  • If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Proper Air Circulation

  • To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing, and electrical connections.
  • The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
    Sides 4″ (102mm)
    Top 24″ (600 mm)
    Back 4″ (102mm)

Electrical Requirement

  • Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (1 1 5 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
  • Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in a shock hazard.

Use of Extension Cord

  • Avoids the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Install Limitations

  • Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55° Fahrenheit.
  • Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected.
  • This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as
    – staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments;
    – farmhouses and by clients in hotels, motels, and other residential type environments;
    – bed and breakfast type environments;
    – catering and similar non-retail applications.

Freezer Features And Use

Operating Your Freezer

  • Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it into an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps. Turn on the power switch. The power light will come on, the green “run” light will be lit indicating that the freezer compressor is in operation.
  • Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. “1” is the warmest and “7” is the coldest. Initially set the temperature to “4”. Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours set the freezer to your desired setting.
  • In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.

General Features
Adjustable temperature dial: (see fig. # 1)
Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus” 0 “. “1” is the warmest, and “7” is the coldest. Turning the dial to ” 0 ” stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
(Note: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.)

Food Storage Basket
(see fig. # 2)

  • Your freezer has a basket. Removable baskets allow you to store food more accessibly or you can remove them if not needed.

Defrosting and Draining

  • Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4″ thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)

  • Turn the temperature control to the OFF position and unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.

  • For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain dial. Turn the drain dial In a counter-clockwise direction to remove it (see fig. #3). This will let the water flow out into the tray. When finished, replace the drain dial and turn in a clockwise direction to close.
    Note: Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.

  • Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.

  • Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

Food Storage Information
Frozen Food:

  • Wipe containers before storing them to avoid needless spills.

  • Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing it in the freezer. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

  • When storing meats, keep them in the original packaging or rewrap them as necessary.

  • Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly packaged food.

  • Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.

  • Packaging Recommendations:
    Plastic containers with air-tight lids
    Heavy-duty aluminum foil
    A plastic wrap made from saran film
    Self-sealing plastic bags

  • Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.

  • It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

  • Boiling water, gurgling sounds, or slight vibrations are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
  • The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
