Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that
servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the
risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Due to possible variations in line voltage caused by overloading of circuits, it is advisable to install a
dedicated circuit from the meter panel. This will help eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause
motor trouble. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either
the gasket or door from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it
harmless.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Risk of fi re or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects
to aid in defrost. Please handle with care. Keep fl ammable materials and vapors such as
gasoline away from the refrigerator. Use nonfl ammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory
or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless
such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• WARNING Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled (including garages, porches, carports, etc.).
• Before connecting the appliance to an electrical power supply, let it stand 6 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.
• The refrigerator system of the appliance is fi lled with refrigerant and insulating substances which
should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing centre. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities or your
distributor. Be careful not to damage any tubes that may be on the rear wall of the appliance.

Operating Instructions
STARTING THE FREEZER
The freezer is ready to operate as received when connected to the power supply. After plugging
the unit in for the fi rst time, set the desired temperature and allow the unit to run empty for at least
2 hours so that the unit can reach operating temperature. Once the set temperature is reached, the
compressor will cycle on and off when necessary to maintain the set temperature.
Recommended food storage temperature is -18°C (0°F).
It is not advisable to add more than 25 kg (50 lbs.) of unfrozen food to the unit at once. It will take
more than 15 hours of running time to properly freeze this amount of food.
When adding fresh, unfrozen food packages to the unit, store them against the walls. The tempera-
ture sensor for the thermostat is inside the liner wall and will read a more accurate temperature.
It is recommended to check the contents and operation of the unit regularly to avoid food loss.
