Setting up your freezer

Before using your freezer

•Remove the exterior and interior packing, especially the foam packing between the outside condenser and the cabinet.

•Let the freezer stand upright for approximately two hours before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.

•Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth and a baking soda solution (two tablespoons in a quart of water), then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your freezer looking new.

•For proper operation, it’s very important that you level the freezer

using the leveling feet. If this is not done, the door may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost and moisture problems. Turn the leveling feet clockwise to raise that side of the freezer or counterclockwise to lower that side. The leveling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push against the top of the freezer to take some weight off.

•When moving your freezer, DO NOT tilt it beyond 45° from upright.

Finding a suitable location

•Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

•This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

•Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the sides pf the freezer and the walls, 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall, and

11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top of the freezer and the ceiling. This allows for proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep thefreezer level.

If you locate the freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.

•Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent the freezer from performing properly.

•Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.

Leveling your freezer

•It is very important for the freezer to be level. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

•To level your freezer, rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) the freezer or counter-clockwise (two lower).

Providing a proper power supply

Check your local power source. This freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply.

Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this freezer. We recommend that the freezer be plugged into an electrical circuit serving only this appliance and that the circuit cannot be turned off with a switch or pull-chain

Notes

•The illustrations shown in this user guide are only for reference. The actual product may differ slightly.

•The screws and wrench are in the plastic bag.

1.Unplug the freezer.

2.Screw the extended-head screws into the door holes with a Phillips screwdriver. DO NOT overtighten. The screw heads should extend above the surface of the door.

3. Loosen the hex screws on top and bottom of the handle with the hex wrench (provided) so that you can fit the handle over the extended head screws in the door.

4. Place the door handle over the heads of the screws, then tighten the hex screws.

Using your freezer

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.

Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

Pre-packed, commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.

Shelves are provided for the organization of odd-shaped items.

1.Plug in your freezer. Wait for 30 minutes, then open the freezer door to determine if the freezer is working properly.

2.Press and hold lock for three seconds, then or on the control panel touch pad to set the temperature inside the freezer. A beep sounds when the MAX or MIN temperatures are reached.

The default temperature is 0° F (-18° C). The temperature range of Freezer mode is 10° F ~ -11° F (-12° C ~ -24° C). The temperature range for Fridge mode is 35° ~ 46° F (2° C ~ 8° C).

Notes

•If the freezer is unplugged or loses power, you must wait three to five minutes before resterting it. The freezer will not start if you attempt to restart it sooner.

•Largr amounts of food lower the cooling efficiency of the freezer.

•If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.

1.Unplug your freezer from the wall outlet.

2.Remove all food.

3.Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

4.Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda solution.

5.Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

6.Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.

Tips on saving energy

•Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.

•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

•Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

•The freezer storage shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

•Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Understanding Alerts

High Temp Alert

The freezer is having trouble maintaining a cold temperature. You will get this alert if:

•FREEZER MODE: The inside temperature is over 18° F (-8° C) for 36 hours.

The LED on control panel turns on and a beep sounds. If the temperature returns to a normal range, the alert turns off. You can also press any button to turn it off. Here are some possible causes:

•The room is too warm. For example, the freezer is in a garage in the summer next to a car with a hot engine.

•The ventilation openings are blocked or dusty.

•There is too much frost build up.

•There are door seal gaps.

Temp Out of Range Alert

You will get this alert if internal temperature is at least 44.6° F (7° C) different from the temperature you set, 42 hours after you shut the door. If the temperature returns to a normal range, the alert turns off. You can also press any button to turn it off. Here are some possible causes:

•The room is too warm or cold. Adjust the room’s temperature.

•The ventilation openings are blocked or dusty.

•There is too much frost build up.

•There are door seal gaps.

Door Open Alert

If the door is open for more than five minutes, the door open alert is activated a buzzer sounds intermittently. Close the door to turn off the alert and check to make sure that nothing is blocking the door, preventing it from closing. Also, check to make sure that the freezer is level. An unlevel freezer may prevent the door from closing properly.
