Product Registration
•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 shelves and baskets 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/lid openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door/lid as soon as possible.

Energy Saving Ideas
•The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this freezer.
For your safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
Child Safety
•Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
•A child might suffocate if he crawls into the freezer to hide or play. Remove the door/lid of the freezer when not in use, even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
•Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents:
•Remove the door/lid.
•Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
•Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly.
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.
•Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOTRECOMMENDED.DONOTUSEANEXTENSIONCORDOR
ANADAPTERPLUG.
•If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
•To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
•Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Other Precautions
•To defrost, always unplug unit first.
•Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
•Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.
First Steps
Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.
Installation / Freezer Placement
•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
•The freezer should be located where surrounding temperature will not exceed 110ºF (43ºC). Temperatures of 32ºF (0ºC) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
•Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

Installation |
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To level Upright Units:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
