• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance. • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.

By default, the door hinge is on the right side.
Operating Your Freezer Temperature Control: • The temperature control (thermostat) is located at the front of the freezer, in the upper right corner above the door. When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat. Normally, the thermostat setting should be in the middle, between max and min. • We recommend thermostat settings closer to max only in cases when you want to accelerate cooling such as before loading a number of unfrozen items.
Switching on the Empty Freezer: Plug in the freezer and set the thermostat to the super position (continuous operation). (The red and yellow control lights are on.) When the red light goes off, set the thermostat for normal operation. Wait a couple of hours, then load the freezer. Freezing Procedure: To freeze larger amounts of unfrozen items (5 pounds or more), turn the thermostat knob to super for continuous operation (yellow light is on).
Care and Maintenance Cleaning Your Freezer: 1. Unplug the freezer and remove the frozen items and drawers. 2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. 3. Wash the drawers with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly. 4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. 5.
