GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong
plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates
the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with
another appliance in the same wall outlet.
• Do not splice the power cord.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
• Do not use ungrounded (two prong) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to
avoid hazard.

LOCATION
• Two people should work together to move the freezer. Be careful and
lift with your knees, not your back!
• Remove all packaging before installation. Wipe the outside with a
soft, dry cloth and the inside with a warm, wet cloth.
• Do not place the freezer in direct sunlight or near sources of heat,
like a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures can cause the freezer to perform
improperly.
• Do not use the freezer near water, like in a wet basement or near a
sink.
• Wait approximately 4 - 6 hours before connecting the freezer to a
power source to reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from handling during transportation.
• This freezer is intended for free-standing installation only and is not
intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this freezer
can cause it to malfunction.

garage use. Freezers are tested to perform in temperatures ranging

1
Turn the thermostat dial on the front of the cabinet to set the temperature.
• 1 is the warmest setting.

of fresh food that has recently been added.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING
The freezer should be defrosted twice a year or when roughly a 1/4 inch
layer of frost has formed on the cabinet walls. Turn the thermostat dial
to "0" and unplug the power cord. Remove all contents and leave the lid
open. Follow the instructions below:
1. The interior defrost drain is located on the inside floor of the cabinet.
Remove the cover from the defrost drain. Defrosted water will flow
into the hole and out through the exterior defrost drain cap.
2. The exterior defrost drain cap is located on the front of the cabinet.
Some models can be turned by hand and some require that you turn
the cap with a coin or flat-bladed screwdriver. Gently pull the drain
cap out until the water hole is visible.
3. Twist the exterior drain cap so that the arrow points downward. Place
a bucket or pan under the drain cap to catch defrosted water. Check
the freezer regularly during defrosting to make sure that the water is
not overflowing.
4. When all water has been drained, twist the drain cap until the arrow
is pointing upwards and then push inward until it is flush with the
cabinet.
5. Replace the cover in the interior defrost drain. Make sure the interior
is dry before you plug the freezer in.
After defrosting is complete, set the temperature control to maximum for
2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired temperature setting.
See the next page for images of the defrost drain for your freezer model.
