• Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service technician for servicing/repair.
• Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit, do not sit or stand on top of this unit.
• Please read through the manual in its entirety.
• This unit is designed to perform in a temperature-controlled environment at 60% relative humidity.
• The unit should be located away from doors, air ducts, and fans that could disrupt airflow and negatively impact performance.

Cabinet Location Guidelines

• Install the unit on a strong and leveled surface.
  • Level the unit by adjusting the screws located on the bottom of the unit.
  • If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
  • The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.

  • Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
  • Avoid direct sunlight.
• Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area.
  • Humidity above 60% can cause the unit to rust, collect condensation, and may decrease efficiency.
  • Dust collected on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction.
• Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
  • Ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit may cause the compressor to malfunction.
  • For optimal performance, this unit should not be used in environments with ambient temperatures exceeding 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The unit should not be placed in areas with an ambient temperature over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Equipment malfunctions due to ambient temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit could void the warranty.
  • Do not install this unit inside a closet or alcove.

Electrical

• Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or high voltage can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit. If the voltage is unstable, please choose a suitable automatic voltage regulator.
• All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the nameplate.
• Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.
• If power is cut off, wait at least 10 minutes before turning on again to avoid damage to the compressor
• In the event of damage to the electric wires or plug, please contact the after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Temperature Control

There are 3 LED blue lights: °F, °C and lock. When the unit is plugged in, all lights will be on for 1 second.
There are 3 buttons: temperature setting °F/°C switch and lock.

Temperature Setting

• The factory default is -20°F.
• Press the temperature setting key to set or adjust the temperature. Temperature can be set between 0°F to -49°F.

Switching Between °C And °F

• To switch between °C and °F, press the °C/°F key and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

Lock or Unlock Control Panel

• The control panel default mode is unlocked. Press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the control panel manually.

Defrosting the Unit

• To ensure optimal performance, unit should be defrosted when the thickness of the ice on the cabinet wall reaches ¼”.
• Remove all product from the unit.
• Unplug the unit and use a drainage tube to release the water from the melted ice. The drainage tube will need to be placed in a drain or pump.
• Once all ice is melted and water is drained, the manual defrost is complete.
• Wipe down the inside of the cabinet with a cloth, and then plug the unit back in and allow it to get back to optimal serving temperature before inserting product.

CAUTION:
Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice up. This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet temperature.

Regular Maintenance

Care and Cleaning
The freezer should be cleaned periodically; generally clean it every 30-45 days. Unplug before cleaning, and use a soft cloth with a solution of warm water and mild soap to scrub inside and outside of the cabinet.
