INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 Storage Basket
1 Instruction Manual
1 Plastic Scraper(optional)
Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This
will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Freezer
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
Allow 15 cm of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air circulation.
Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.
Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
After plugging the appliance into a all outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours before placing
food in the freezer compartment.
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
Your freezer has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the
lower right hand corner.
The range of the temperature control is from position MIN, MAX and . Adjust the temperature
control to the setting that best suits your needs.
To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF".
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "OFF " position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.
If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one numerical increment at
a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
The Fast Freeze Switch
The light glows while the F
3
The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate continuously, lowering the
cabinet temperature still further than the thermostat setting.
This switch is used to freeze unfrozen food in appreciable quantities.
When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic feet of freezer space at one
time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast Freeze switch.
Defrosting Your Freezer
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when
the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.

Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
Clean the interior of the freezer.
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
Switch on the Fast Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
Return food to the freezer.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also,
pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper-
please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.
The Freezer Compartment
This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time is up to three
months.
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods
tment or home freezer.
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.
The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the
ice reaches 5 to 10 mm thick.
A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the
4
freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Freezer
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage basket.
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth containing a water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free and
running efficiently.
Vacation Time
Remove all the food.
Unplug the freezer.
Clean the freezer.
Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Use extreme caut
͸±®¬ ª¿½¿¬·±²-æ Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Ô±²¹ ª¿½¿¬·±²-æ If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.
Moving Your Freezer
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
The freezer should be located 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 in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
Freezer storage bin 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.
