Warning Child Safety!

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer is
unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play. Remove the door of a freezer
when not in use, even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many communities have laws requiring you

to take this safety precaution.
Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke
hazard to children.

CAREFULLY READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual provides instructions in how to best locate,
operate, and maintain this equipment.
It is recommended to keep this manual for any future reference.
Detailed Warranty Guidelines can be found on the Ojeda website.

DIRECTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING OF THE EQUIPMENT

STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT

If the equipment will be kept in storage, it is suggested to keep it in its original packing.
In case you need your equipment to be inactive for a long period of time after being used, verify that it
has been unplugged. After cleaning it thoroughly with a damp cloth, lukewarm water and neutral soap
and carefully drying it, cover it with a polyethylene film or similar waterproof material.

UNCRATING

The following procedure is recommended for uncrating the unit:
Remove the outer package by carefully cutting the banding and removing the cardboard box.
Inspect for concealed damage. Immediately file a claim with the freight carrier if there is damage.
Move your unit as close to the final location as possible before removing the wooden skid.

MOVING THE EQUIPMENT

The unit is shipped with casters to facilitate moving the unit into position.

Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove product, then defrost, and clean the
freezer. Secure all loose items such as baskets and fix the lids by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure the freezer in an upright position and cover it to protect
the outside of the cabinet.

PLACING AND INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT

T

HIS UNIT CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH EXPLOSIVE GASES. THE EQUIPMENT IS

DESIGNED ONLY FOR INDOOR OPERATION

The unit must be located in an indoor environment.
For the correct performance of the refrigerating system, it is very important to leave at least 10 cm (4")
of free space both at the sides and back to allow proper air circulation. Do not block the grills on the
side or back of the cabinet.

.

ENERGY SAVINGS IDEAS

The location of the cooler must be kept away from sources of heat and humidity including direct
sunlight, toasters, ovens, coffee warmers, other appliances condenser air discharge, infrared heaters, or
other heat generating appliances.

Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Do not exceed the load limit according to
labels fixed on the inner cabinet (which corresponds to the baskets height).

Product to be loaded should be at -4° F (-20° C) since the equipment is intended for maintaining a cool
product at 0° F (-18° C) at load level rather than freezing a warm product

Keep the lid closed to avoid warm air and moisture getting into the freezer.
