IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord. • It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance, be provided.
• Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. • To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Freezer • Remove the exterior and interior packing. • Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. • Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Installing Your Freezer • This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a three-pin plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. • Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. • This freezer requires a standard 115Volts AC ~ 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong grounded receptacle.
OPERATION Setting the Temperature Control • To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dial according to the ambient temperature or intended use of the freezer. • The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to Max. • The range of the temperature control is from position OFF to Max. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of Normal should be appropriate for most circumstances.
Vacation Time • Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. • Long vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months, remove contents and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Moving Your Freezer • Remove all stored items. • Securely tape down all loose items, such as shelves, inside your freezer.
