Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 Storage Basket
1 Ice Shovel
1 Instruction Manual
Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.

during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 7)
Installing Your Freezer
This appliance is designed to be free standing only and should not be recessed or built-in.
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air
ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.
Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Ambient temperature
below 50
°F or above 85°F will hinder the performance of this
appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
Plug the freezer into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an
inverter.
After plugging the appliance i
nto a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool for 2~3
hours before placing food in the freezer com
partment.
Electrical Connection
This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord for 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.
This freezer requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outl
et with three-prong ground.
This freezer is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secur
ed behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively affect the performance of the unit.
The “Power” light (Red) indicates that the freezer is properly connected to an electrical
source.

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
Once your freezer is in its proper place, plug the power cord into an electrical socket to turn on
the unit. The “Power” light (red) will come on immediately. The “Run” light (green) will be lit if
freezer compressor is in operation (if temperature control is set anywhere between 1-7)
Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control
dial has 7 temperature settings and a 0 setting (OFF). “1” is the cold and ”7” is the coldest.
Turning the
dial to 0 (OFF
) stops cooling the freezer. The “Run” indicator (green) will turn off.
Turning the temperature control to the “0” setting position stops the cooling cycle but doesn't shut
off the power of the freezer.
If turning the freezer on for the first time, set the dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass before
adjusting the temperature to your needs. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before
food is put in.
NOTE:
If the unit is unplugged or loses power, 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.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
Defrosting Your Freezer
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or to inch thick (approximately every 3
months).
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because 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.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Unplug the freezer. Both the “Power” light and the “Run” light should be off (red and
green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
Unscrew and remove the drain cap on the exterior front of the freezer (lower left).
Place a sha
llow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
