Installing Your Freezer  
Unpacking Your Freezer  
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all  
adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and  
outside.  
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed  
materials before powering on the freezer.  
Adjusting Your Freezer  
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only.  
It should not be recessed or built-in.  
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.  
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle.  
This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.  
• If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24  
hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.  
Proper Air Circulation  
• To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it  
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there  
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.  
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:  
Sides……………4” (102mm)  
Back..................4” (102mm)

Electrical Requirement  
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps  
outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.  
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding  
in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous  
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and  
may result in shock hazard.  
Use of Extension Cord  
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety  
hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension  
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding  
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of  
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical  
rating of the appliance.  
Install Limitations  
• Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or  
heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in  
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit or above 90˚ Fahrenheit.  
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even  
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,  
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should  
be corrected.

Freezer Features and Use  
Operating Your Freezer  
• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet  
having 115 volts and 15 amps. Turn on power switch. Power light  
will come on, and the green run light will be lit indicating that the freezer  
has power.  
• Set the temperature on the temperature control knob. “1” being the  
warmest and “7” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on  
“4”. Place food inside the freezer. After using the freezer for 24 hours  
set the freezer to your desired setting.  
• In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage,  
allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.  
Note: Cool Down Period During Initial Start-Up  
• To ensure proper food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to  
cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously for  
the first several hours. Already frozen foods may be placed in  
after the first few hours of operation, however you must wait 4  
hours before placing in any unfrozen food.

Food Storage Basket  
(see fig. # 2)  
• Your freezer may have a food storage basket. Removable baskets allow  
you to store food more accessibly or you can remove them if not needed.  
fig. # 2  
Defrosting and Draining  
• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or  
metallic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling  
coils. (A punctured coil will void the warranty)  
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit.  
Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting  
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door  
open.  
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the  
drain dial (see fig. #3). This will let the water flow out in the tray.  
When done, push the drain dial in. Re-plug the drain plug inside the  
freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to  
avoid overflow.  
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in  
the electrical outlet.  
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

Food Storage Information  
Frozen Food:  
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.  
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer.  
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.  
• When storing meats, keep in the original  
packaging or rewrap as necessary.  
• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be  
in packages which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.  
Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result  
in the drying out of the improperly packaged food.  
• Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.  
Packaging Recommendations:  
Plastic containers with air tight lids  
Heavy duty aluminum foil  
Plastic wrap made from saran film  
Self-sealing plastic bags  
• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.  
• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the  
packaging.  
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear  
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result  
of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.  
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Freezer Care and Cleaning  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
To avoid electric shock always unplug your  
freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may  
result in death or injury.  
Warning:  
Caution:  
General:  
Before using cleaning products, always read and  
follow manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to  
avoid personal injury or product damage.  
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of  
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or  
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to  
wipe down your freezer.  
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft  
cloth.  
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,  
chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or  
metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may  
dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.  
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to  
general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and  
pliable to assure a proper seal.  
Door Gaskets:  
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of  
gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a  
good seal.

Power Interruptions  
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or  
other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a  
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power  
cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and  
discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before  
reusing.  
Vacation and Moving Care  
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from freezer, move the  
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the door gaskets  
according to “General cleaning” section. Prop doors open, so air can  
circulate inside. When moving always move the freezer  
vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to  
the sealed system could occur.

circuit breaker.

period of time.  
• Check gasket for proper seal.  
• Check to see if doors are completely closed.
