IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the freezer.
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an extension cord.
• Replace all panels before operating.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles
that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in
electrical shock or death.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
DANGER: Risk of child ent rapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still danger ous…even if they will “just sit in t he gar age a few days”.
Before you throw away your old freezer or any appliance :
Remove the door.
Leave the shelves in place so t hat chi ldr en may not easily climb insid e.
FOLLOW WARNING CALLOUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
• Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 44°F (7°C) and below 90°F (32°C).
• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with
state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.
• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several
3
adjustments to level it.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
• Check for leaks after connection.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may damage or
discolor the interior.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing door when children are in the area.

“Fast Freeze” Function
If you press and hold the °C/°F button for 3 se con ds, t he unit will enter the “Fast Freeze” mode. In this
mode, press the and buttons to set the fast freezing time. The setting time range is 1 to 10
hours, and the defau lt se t t ing time is 3 hours. If you set the fast freezing time longer than 4 hours, the
unit will defrost itself at the end of the “Fast Freeze” cycle. To stop the “Fast Freeze” function, again
press the °C/°F button an d hol d it for at least 3 seconds.
Defrosting
The freezer defrosts itself automatically every 14 hours (except when in the “Fast Freeze” mode); the
defrost cycle lasts about 40 minutes. Melt water from the defrosting collects in a drip tray where it is
evaporated. During the process of defrosting, the temperature display may be higher than the set
temperature.
NOTES:
• If the unit is unplugged, turned off or if there is a power failure, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not
work.
• When you use the freezer for the first time, or restart it after it has been shut off for a long t im e,
there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one
indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of the inactivation time.
Once the freezer has been running for a few hours, everything should normalize.
