been provided, the following items must be checked or
completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the appliance
to cool down completely before loading with food.
The appliance will run continuously for the first several
hours. Do not place any food in the appliance until
after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Settings
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the
thermostat set at about the mid-point of the operating
range. Adjustments colder or warmer can be made
after the appliance has been running for at least 8
hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before re-adjusting the thermostat.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost automatically
every 12 hours. To set the time of defrost, wait until
the desired time to defrost. With the notch on the
timer knob aligned with the line on the bracket
(Figure A), turn the defrost timer knob clockwise
slowly. The timer will click several times, then once
loudly, at which point the defrost cycle begins. The
timer knob will advance through the defrost cycle,
then click loudly at the end of the cycle (Figure B).
The appliance will defrost automatically every 12 hours
after the first defrost cycle.
For example, to set the appliance to defrost at 10:00
a.m., turn the timer knob clockwise at 10:00 a.m. until
the timer clicks loudly.The appliance will defrost daily
at 10:00 a.m. and again12 hours later at 10:00 p.m.

Energy Conservation Measures
The appliance is designed for efficiency with heavy
foam insulation. However, there are things that the
user can do to maintain the appliance in operating
condition:
1. Do not operate the appliance any colder than
necessary to maintain safe, product storage
temperatures.
2. Make sure the appliance is located to prevent
direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc.
3. Keep the door closed except for normal use.
Inspect the door often to see that it self-closes and
the gasket is in good condition.
4. Do not overstock the product in the cabinet
because it will block the normal air flow.
5. Have at least annual inspections by a qualified
service company to see that the fan motor is
functioning properly and that the refrigerant charge
is correct.
6. This appliance operates more efficiently in a cooler
ambient than in a hot ambient. Try to maintain an
ambient below 80°F (2/C) and 65% RH for
maximum efficiency.
