WARNING

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

• The power cord from this appliance is equipped with a grounding plug which minimizes the possibility of electric

shock hazard.

• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• It is your personal responsibility and obligation to have your outlet replaced with the properly grounded wall

outlet.

• The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual dedicated electrical circuit, which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading building
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires or tripping a circuit breaker / blowing a
protective fuse.

• Never unplug the equipment by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the

outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.

• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

• When removing the equipment away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord. If

power cord is damaged it should be replaced with original equipment manufacturer parts. To avoid hazard this
should be done by a qualified service technician.

• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord. This can create a fire hazard or short circuit.

WARNING

Compressor warranties are void if compressor burns out due to low voltage.
Power supply cord ground should not be removed!
Do not use electrical appliances inside the compartments of this equipment.

TRANSPORTAT ION and INSTALLATION

1. When you transport the freezer, the angle between the compartment body and the
ground should be no more than 45°, and you should never place the freezer up-side down.

2. Do not use any of the external part as loading points, for example, the cond enser on
the back, the door or the hinge.

3. When the freezer is installed or used, all the package (including board and foam
plastic) should be properly disposed of. Please recycle, when possible.

4. Keep the freezer stable and level to avoid vibration and noise.

5. The freezer should be installed in a place with good ventilation, a space of at least 4" (10cm) should be allowed

between the surrounding walls and the cabinet wall for proper air circulation.

6. It should be placed far from any heat source and not under direct suns h in e to avoid less efficient performance due

to the high ambient temperature.

7. Install the freezer in a dry place to prevent the compartment body from rusting, which may (1) affect the electric

insulation (2) create a food safety contamination risk and (3) reduce the appliance's expected useful life.

CAUTIONS:

1. The freezer must be properly grounded to avoid a shock hazard.

2. In case of any damage to the electric wires and/or plug, please contact an authorized electrician to repair the

connection.

3. If the voltage is unstable, please provide a suitable automatic voltage regulator and /or surg e protection.

4. Allow the freezer to reach its operating temperature before it is loaded with product.

5. You should adjust the temperature control according to the required temperature and quantity/tiers of the stored

3

food (ice cream tubs, etc.) and the environmental temperature/required conditions for the stored product to
maintain its qua li ty.

6. Before putting product into the freezer please adjust the temperature control to its lowest set point and let it run
until the temperature of inner cabinet dec reas es to 0°F (-18°C.) Once the unit reaches 0°F (-18°C), set the unit to
your devised set point and load product. NOTE: For high elevation installations, it may be necessary to “warm ­up” the cabinet to hig h er set points.

7. Unplug the appliance by pulling the cord cap (plug) NOT the electrical cord.

8. Never put hot food in the freezer. Only place product in the freezer after it is has reached its ideal storage
temperature. Some foods will need to be placed in a refrigerator or another freez er to cool down past room
temperature prior to placing in the freezer.

9. Do not overfill the unit. Keep the top item at least 4" (10cm) below the brim on the cover. There should be
reasonable space between the food items for better temperature regulation.

10. If a power outage occurs, you should wait at least 5 minutes before th e freezer is turned on again to avoid damage
to the compressor.

11. Never store any flammable, explosive and corrosive liquid or gas in the freezer. Keep it away from this appliance.

12. Beer, beverage, fresh flowers, medicine and injections cannot be put into the freezer for storage or cooling.
Handling them in the freezer voids the warranty

13. If the stored items are not place in properly sealed, protective packaging, then ice crystals may form or the
product quality can be affected.

NOTE! Before loading product we recommend you run the unit empty for two to three days. This allows you to be
sure electrical wiring and installation are correct and no shipping damage has occurred.

LOSS of FOOD PRODUCT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!
