IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Your safety and the safety of others ar e very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the word ”DANGER” or “WARNING”.

DANGER means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in extensive product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Safety messages wi ll al e rt you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positio ned and installed as described in this m anual, so read the manual carefull y. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the freezer, follow basic pr ecautions, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding pro ng, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the freezer or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can

result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your freezer unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Use two or more people to move and install the freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your freezer, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60

F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,

90 rain, water spray or drips.

• The freezer should not be located next to ovens, radiators or other sources of high heat.

• The freezer must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local

codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and loca l codes and ordin anc es , is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the freezer.

• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.

• It is important for the freezer to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make

several adjustments to level it.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the freezer.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may

damage or discolor the interior.

• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR MEDICAL OR PHARMACEUTICAL USE ONLY. IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A HOUSEHOLD FREEZER.

F (16°C) and below

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator/freezer.

THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR INFIRM PERSONS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE PERSON TO EN SURE T HAT TH EY CAN USE T HE AP PLIANC E SAF ELY. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.

Installation Instructions

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

 3 drawers  1 short drain tube  2 keys (VT65ML and ALF620L models only)

• CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at

least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of your unit.

• Remove the drawers and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with

lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installing the Freezer

• Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.

• Unless the model numbers include the letters BI, these appliances are designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built in. When installing, allow at least 5 inches of space at the sides and top of the unit and 2 inches at the rear, which will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.

If your model has the letters BI in its model number, the appliance can be installed either free-standing or built-in. If the unit will be built into an enclosure, you must still allow at least 3/16” of clear space on both sides and at the top, and 2” at the back. Take care that the air vents at the front are never covered or blocked in any way.

• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.

• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.

• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and 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 authorized service center.

Electrical Connection :

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or

This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling.

The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet having a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately any power cord that has become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.

Extension Cord

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Reversing the Door Swing

Your freezer can be opened from either the right side or the left. By default, the door hinge is on the right side. If you prefer it on the left, please follow the appropriate instructions below:

NOTE: All of the parts that are removed must be kept for the reinstallation of the door.

For models VT65M, VT65ML, VT65MBI and VT65MLBI :

hinge.

b. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door. c. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin. d. Remove the screws to the bottom hinge. e. Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the

original side with the decorative caps.

f. Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock

washers or nuts if they were installed in the original installation.

g. Loosely install the left-hand hinge provided with your unit on the top left side of the

unit, moving the decorative caps to the right side.

h. Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place top hinge pin into door.

Insert screws into the top hinge and tighten.

If you notice the door not hanging straight, loosen the top hinge screws, adjust the door until it is level and tighten the screws.

Door Handle Installation
