Use & Care of your Freezer

FIRST STEPS

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the unit, follow these important first steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

NOTE The exterior walls of the unit may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your appliance.

Leveling

The appliance must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.

NOTE It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

CAUTION To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.

Removing/Reversing Door

Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, flat head screwdriver, hexagonal spanner.

Two people should handle assembling the unit.

  • Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
  • To take the door off, tilt the unit backwards. Rest the unit on something solid so it will not slip during the door reversing process.
  • Save all parts to reinstall the door.
  • To prevent damaging the coolant system, do not lay the unit flat.
  1. Remove 2 screws at rear side of top cover

2. Remove top cover and thermostat knob. Place it aside.

3. Unscrew top hinge. Remove lid and place it on a soft pad to avoid scratching.

4. Unscrew bottom hinge. Remove adjustable feet from both sides.

5. Unscrew and remove bottom hinge pin, turn bracket over, and replace it.

6. Refit the bracket fitting the bottom hinge pin. Replace both adjustable feet.

7. Re-place the door. Ensure the door is aligned horizontally and vertically so the seals are closed on all sides before finally tightening the top hinge.

8. Place top cover on the back and fix with 2 screws.

9. Re-place the Temperature Control dial.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Plug in your appliance. The internal temperature is controlled by a thermostat. There are 3 settings: MIN (warmest setting), NORMAL, and MAX (coolest setting).

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning

Before cleaning remove food from the appliance and store it well covered.

Clean the appliance interior and interior accessories regularly with a cloth and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners. After cleaning rinse with fresh water and rub dry.

CAUTION

Appliance must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when cleaning unit. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Allow time to dry before using the appliance.

IMPORTANT

Do not use organic solvents, such as lemon juice, juice from an orange peel, butyric acid, or cleaners containing acetic acid.

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.
