OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps.

• Set the temperature on the temperature control knob, “I” being the warmest and “III” being the

coldest. Initially set the temperature on “II”. Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on

indicating that the freezer is in operation). 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.

ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE DIAL

• Your freezer will automatically maintain the

temperature level you select. The temperature

control dial has 7 settings plus OFF. “1” is the

warmest, “7” is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF

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.)

more accessibly or you can remove it if not needed.
