FREEZER LIGHT
This upright freezer comes equipped with energy saving light, which helps in lighting up the interior effective-
ly. This upright freezer light comes on automatically when the upright freezer door is opened. The upright
freezer light will shut off once the upright freezer door is completely closed.
NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new upright freezer may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls
can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that
might be new to you and what may be making them.
Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, items stored on top of the up-
right freezer can also make noises.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158 - 194°F when running.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal function.
It is normal for the fan in the power supply to run all the time.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your upright freezer.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to cool down completely. The freezer will run continuous-
ly for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in the freezer after the first few
hours of operation.
Unfrozen food should NOT be placed in the freezer until it has operated for 4 hours. Allow several hours
after each one-step adjustment for the freezer temperature to stabilize.
When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of space at a time. Distribute
packages evenly throughout the freezer.
Storage recommendation printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturers should be al-
ways be followed.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone
does not sterilize the food.
It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put
hot or warm food stuffs into the upright freezer.
Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place
into the upright freezer.
Fresh foods should not be stored together with frozen foods.
When the temperature is set below 32°F, do not keep glass-bottled drinks such as beer and lemonade or
soda cans, as the glass and cans might shatter.
Do not use this upright freezer as a refrigerator when the ambient temperature is 41°F as food can be-
come frozen.
Note: For best performance, leave enough space inside the upright freezer cabinet for air to circulate
around the packages.
