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.

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 surface 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 in. 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 freezer:
Sides……………4” (102mm)
Back..................4” (102mm)
Top....................4” (102mm)
INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER CONT.

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 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 USE EXTENSION
CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.
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
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
ICE CUBE TRAY
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigrant
sirculating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
1. The Temperature Control Dial is located at the back of the unit.
2. The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to the maximum
position.
NOTE: The temperature range is from "1" the warmest, to "7" the coldest.
3. After 24 - 48 hours, adjust the temperature to suit your needs. The setting of "4"
should be appropriate for most needs.
4. To turn the freezer off, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the "0" position.
NOTE: This only turns off the cooling cycle - not the power.
5. If the freezer is unplugged, turned off, or without power for any reason, do not
re-connect for at least five minutes to allow the circuits to reset. Damage may
occur if it is re-connected too soon.
6. The inside temperature of the freezer will vary depending on the frequency of
the door opening and the amount of food.
1. Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position “7”.
2. Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full, with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing
and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer to freeze properly.
3. Dry the bottom of the tray, to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the freezer.
4. The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap
water for a second.
5. To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.

DEFROSTING
• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost when-
ever 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). Use only a plastic scraper. Do not use boiling water as it may
damage the unit.
•
Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the
food.
• Turn the temperature control to “0” position and unplug the unit. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
DEFROST DRAIN
Place a narrow defrost pan (not included) in front of the freezer, gently slide the
defrost drain outward. Water that has accumulated at the bottom of the freezer
during defrosting will drain into the pan.
NOTE: Monitor the defrost pan to avoid overflow.
• When defrosting is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth.
Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food into the freezer.

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.
These are some suggestions for safe storage:
• TV Dinners 3 - 4 Months
• Fresh Shrimp, scallops, crawfish 3 - 6 Months
• Hamburger & stew meats 3 - 4 Months
• Ground Turkey, veal, pork 3 - 4 Months
• Chops 4 - 6 Months
• Steaks 6 - 12 Months

• 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.

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 “0” 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.
