blade, cut along the perimeter of the carton
as indicated.
• Lift the carton off the product.
• Remove the package containing the casters
from the unit.
3
Page 4
First Steps
The following tools are required to assemble and install the casters to the unit:
A Wrench (1)
B Screws (16)
C Casters (4)
Caster Set-up
1. With an assistant, tilt the unit until it is resting on its back. Take care to protect the back from
being scratched during this process.
2. Using the wrench provided and the sixteen (16) screws, install all four (4) casters in the tapped
holes in the bottom of the unit. Tighten the screws securely.
3. With an assistant, tilt the unit back up onto its casters.
4. To prevent unintended movement, block casters once the unit is in place.
Appliance Placement
Leave a three (3) inch space on all sides and the back of the cabinet for ease of installation, proper air
circulation and electrical connections. Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. For the
most efcient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40ºF (5ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC). Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
Insulation
The insulated space of this cabinet is sealed to maintain peak efciency. DO NOT drill holes in the
cabinet. Holes drilled in the cabinet may destroy that seal and damage electrical wiring located in the
insulated space. It may also pierce and damage the sealed refrigeration system in the insulated space.
DAMAGED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR WET INSULATION CAUSED BY DRILLING WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.
Glass Lid Models
• There are two (2) glass lids, a smaller one that ts in the lower track of the ice cream freezer
and a larger one that ts in the upper track. The lower track has two (2) round retaining studs
and the upper has four (4) round retaining studs.
• Install the lower glass rst. Again, the lower glass is the smaller of the two. It has a exible vinyl
seal and a lock plate. The exible seal should be facing up and positioned on the end away from
the two round retaining studs. Place the panel in the center and slide along the lower track until it
is secure under the two retaining studs.
• Place the upper glass panel over the lower glass panel already in place. Slide it over the lower
lid past the exible seal. You will notice a slight resistance with the lower lid gasket. Slide the
upper panel under the four studs on the upper track of the frame.
• When properly installed, there is a seal formed by the exible vinyl seal between the two glass lids.

First Steps
Appliance Start-up
Once the appliance has been located in its permanent location and the proper power and grounding
has 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 rst several hours. Do not place any food in the
appliance until after the rst 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Setting
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.

Features
Interior Lighting (some chest models)
The light comes on automatically when the lid
is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the
temperature control to “OFF” and UNPLUG THE
ELECTRICAL CORD. Replace the old bulb with a
bulb of the same type and wattage.
Four (4) Swivel Casters
The freezer comes with four (4) swivel casters.
The casters allow the appliance to be moved
with ease. Refer to the First Steps section for
caster installation instructions.
Commercial Grade Basket
The NSF certied basket helps organize odd-shaped
items. To reach other packages in the freezer, slide
the basket aside or lift out.
Security Lock
This security lock fastens the lid snugly, ensuring
that stored food is secure. To lock or unlock the
freezer, slide the key into the lock and turn. The
key pops out of the lock after it has been turned.
Adjustable Temperature Control
The adjustable thermostat control is located on
the left outside wall of the unit.
Interior Thermometer
The appliance comes with an NSF certied
thermometer to show internal temperatures. The
thermometer is attached to the plastic interior lid
panel on commercial chest freezers and on the
wire basket on ice cream freezers.
MaxFreeze Switch
(some chest models)
When the Max Freeze setting is activated, the
LED on the rocker switch will light up. This
setting puts the compressor in a fulltime run
mode and overrides the thermostatic control.
This in turn results in constant cooling of the
freezer and provides the fastest freezer cool
down period.
In most conditions the MaxFreeze setting
will maintain lower freezer compartment
temperatures than would the Normal setting.
The Normal setting can be used to save energy
when rapid cool down times aren’t needed
or when constantly maintaining the lowest
temperature is not required.
To return the freezer back to normal operating
mode, push the switch to the normal position.
Care and Cleaning
Between Defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use
a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with
pulling motion. NEVER use a metal instrument
to remove frost.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer
when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated.
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the
upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist
air entering the freezer when the lid is opened.
Remove food and leave the lid open when
defrosting the freezer.
To use the defrost drain, place a shallow pan
beneath the drain outlet (Figure 1). Pull out the
drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off the
outside defrost drain plug (Figure 2). Defrost
water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so
water does not overow. Replace the drain plugs
when defrosting is completed.

If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic
scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, ll
deep pans with hot water and place them on
the freezer bottom. Close the freezer lid. Frost
should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this
procedure if necessary.
Cleaning
After defrosting, wash inside and outside
surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two
(2) tablespoons of baking soda in one (1) quart
(1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring
excess water out of the sponge or cloth when
cleaning in the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda
solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse and dry. NEVER use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or
alkaline solutions on any surface. DO NOT wash
removable parts in a dishwasher. Replace parts
and food.

Energy-Saving Tips
Power Failure
This appliance is designed for efciency with
heavy foam insulation. However, there are things
that the user can do to maintain the appliance in
operating condition.
• Do not operate the appliance any colder
than necessary to maintain safe, product
storage temperatures.
• Make sure the appliance is located to
prevent direct exposure to sunlight, air
ducts, etc.
• Keep the lid closed except for normal
use. Inspect the door often to see that it
self-closes and the gaskets are in good
condition.
• Do not overstock the product in the cabinet
because it will block the normal air ow.
See illustration below:
5"
WARNING
Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if
freezer is off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, pack seven or eight
pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24
hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under “Dry Ice”,
“Dairies”, or “Ice Cream Manufacturers” for local
dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use
caution when handling dry ice.
• Have at least annual inspections by a
qualied service company to see that the
refrigerant charge is correct.
• This appliance operates more efciently in
a cooler ambient temperature than in a hot
ambient temperature. Try to maintain an
ambient temperature below 80ºF (27ºC)
and 65% RH (Relative Humidity) for
maximum efciency.
