SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide.
2) This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in
the installation section.
3) Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector
end.
5) Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in
defrosting your freezer.
7) If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility
of danger to children.
8) After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9) Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United
States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F”.
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice
cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”
“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating
quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality
as you can.”

parTs and feaTures
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.
• 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 it in. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
• To ensure that 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 freezer:
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
plug 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.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards 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.
• 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.

General Features
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your freezer will automatically
maintain the temperature level you
select. The temperature control dial has
6 settings plus OFF. “I” is the warmest,
“6” is the coldest. Turning the dial to
OFF stops cooling the freezer. Set the
dial to “3” 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.)

• 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, “1” being the
warmest and “6” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on
“3”. 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.
• Temperature should be 0˚F (-18˚C) or below in the upper compartment
and range from 5˚F to 20˚F in the drawer section.
Operating Your Freezer
• Your freezer may be equipped with a Fast Freeze switch (orange
switch), which will allow you to deep freeze food when you have
added a lot of food at one time. Flip the orange Fast Freeze switch
on and the compressor will run continuously. Turn off the Fast Freeze
feature once food has reached desired temperature.
Note: Do not forget to turn off the fast freeze switch when not
required. Doing so will avoid unnecessary energy use.

• 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.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the
freezer door and drawer open.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in
the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
Defrosting and Draining the Freezer
The upper compartment is recommended for deep freezing long term
storage. It is for such items as meat, poultry and fish.
The lower compartment operates at a higher temperature than that of
the upper compartment, making it ideal for short term frozen storage
such as frozen prepared foods, ice cream and other frequently used
food products. Due to the higher temperature, the bottom compartment
is not recommended for long term storage as it will decrease storage
shelf life.

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 that 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.
Food Storage Information
• 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.
