Remove the exterior and interior packing.

Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction inthe cooling system from handling during transportation. Make sure that the interior is completely dry before turning the product on.

[his freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. [he power cord of this freezer is equipped with a three prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power

cord supplied.

Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

Never use a two prong grounding adapten

Where a two prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to

have it replaced with a 3 prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

This freezer requires a standard 115/120 Volts A.C. -i60Hz electrical outlet with three

prong ground.

The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to

prevent accidental injury.

Temperature Control The temperature control is located underneath the countertop on the front side of the cabinet. The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control to the maximum position. The range of the temperature control is from positbn"min" the warmest to "_max " the coldest.

After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged or power is lost, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before

this time delay, the freezer will not start.

Defrosting Your Freezer

For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption,

defrost the freezer compartment when the frost on the freezer walls is in excess of _/4inch thick.

To start defrosting, remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food. Then unplug the freezer, remove the food and drawers. After the frost or ice has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of

freezer. Then the freezer can be restarted by a turning its thermostat to the desired setting and plug in the freezen

CAUTION Do not use boiling water as it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never

use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty, We recommend using a plastic scraper.

Use of Ice Cube Tray The recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position "max".

Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer. The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.

To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.
