If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.

This appliance is intended for indoor household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).

Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a

malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The freezer door may be difficult to open immediately after closing it. This is normal and is due to the pressure difference between the cold interior of the freezer and the warm air that has just entered the freezer when the door was opened. The pressure will equalize within a few minutes.

If the door is especially difficult to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the pressure to equalize and then try again.

The interior dimensions of this appliance are: 39.7 cm (15.6 inches) wide by 142.6 cm (56.2 inches) high by 40 cm (15.8 inches) deep.

The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted by turning the thermostat dial.

To achieve the maximum cooling temperature quickly:

For best results, the appliance should be empty.

Turn the temperature control knob to “7” on the dial. “1” is the warmest temperature setting, “7” is the coldest temperature setting.

The temperature range of the appliance is approximately -12°C (10.4°F) to -24°C (-11.2°F).

The temperature inside the appliance can vary based on ambient room temperature, the frequency that the door is opened and the amount of fresh food that has recently been added to the unit.

Allow the appliance to run at the coldest setting for 3 - 4 hours.

When maximum cooling is achieved, turn the control knob to the desired setting. The setting “3” or “4” should be satisfactory for home use.

To stop the cooling function, turn the control knob to the “0” position.

Tips when storing fresh food
