IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions: WARNING Read all instructions before using the freezer. DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. To avoid the possibility of child entrapment, please take the following precautions: Remove the freezer top and DO NOT remove the internal basket. Before you throw away your old freezer: Take off the top.
Plug the freezer into dedicated, 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 or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER Temperature Control Once your freezer is in its proper place, plug the power cord into an electrical socket to turn on the unit. Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The interior temperature of the freezer is adjusted through the thermostat knob. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise and the interior temperature will drop. The temperature control dial has 2 temperature settings and an OFF setting.
Clean the interior of the freezer. Replace the plug on the inside floor. Plug the unit in. Adjust the temperature control knob to "MAX". Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour. Return food to the freezer. Adjust the temperature control knob to set the freezer to preferred temperature. HELPFUL HINT: Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Freezer Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly. Unplug the freezer; remove the food and storage basket. Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution. Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
