Installing Your Freezer
Unpacking Your Freezer
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and
outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed
materials before powering on the freezer.
Adjusting Your Freezer
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only.
It should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle.
This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24
hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
Sides……………4" (102mm)
Top....................4" (102mm)
Back..................4" (102mm)

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and
may result in shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-
ards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating
of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected.

Freezer Features And Use
Operating Your Freezer
• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet
having 115 volts and 15 amps. Turn on power switch. Power light will
come on, the green “run” light will be lit indicating that the freezer
compressor is in operation.
• Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. “1” being the
warmest and “7” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on
“4”. Place food inside the freezer. 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.
General Features
(see fig. # 1)
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your freezer will automatically main-
tain 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.)

Food Storage Basket
(see fig. # 2)
• Your freezer has a basket. Removable baskets allow you
to store food more accessibly or you can remove them if not needed.
fig. # 2
Defrosting and Draining
• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or
metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.
Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door
open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the
drain dial (see fig. #3). This will let the water flow out in the tray.
When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the
freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to
avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

Food Storage Information
Frozen Food:
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• When storing meats, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary.
• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be
in packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.
Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result
in the drying out of the improperly packaged food.
• Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
• Packaging Recommendations:
Plastic containers with air tight lids
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the
packaging.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result
of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Freezer Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your
freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may
result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to
avoid personal injury or product damage.
General:
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to
wipe down your freezer.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft
cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,
chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or
metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may
dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.
Door Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and
pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of
gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a
good seal.

Power Interruptions
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power
cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and
discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before
reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from freezer, move the
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the door gaskets
according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always move the freezer
vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to
the sealed system could occur.
