GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read all of the instructions before using this appli-

ance. When using this appliance, always exercise

basic safety precautions, including the following:

NOTE: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position

for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

2. This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in

the installation section.

3. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp

the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4. Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector

end.

5. Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in

defrosting your freezer.

7. If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove

the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

WARNING: After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the

cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold

surfaces.

9. Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69

reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F”.

“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or

off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice

cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.”

“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of

foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating

quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods.

Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating

quality as you can.

10. This freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed

cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

11. Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed

materials before powering on the 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.

• 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)

Top....................Do not block

Unpacking Your Freezer

Proper Air Circulation

Installing Your Freezer

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.

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-

ards 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 rat-

ing of the appliance. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD LONGER

THAN 12 FT.

• 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.

• 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.

Install Limitations

Use of Extension Cord

WARNING: ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD

Freezer Features and Use

• 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.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

General Features

Adjustable temperature dial:

Your freezer will automatically

maintain the temperature level you

select. The temperature control dial has

7 settings plus ON. “1” is the

warmest, “7” is the coldest. Set the

dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass

before adjusting the temperature to

your needs.

For faster freezing capability:

The first time you turn the unit on, turn

the temperature control dial to “ON”

and run for at least 2 hours, then turn

dial to “4”.

(Note: If the freezer has been

placed in a horizontal or

tilted position for any period

of time wait 24 hours before

plugging the unit in.)

• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet

having 115 volts and 15 amps.

• 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.

• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost

whenever the frost becomes 1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or metal-

lic instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils.

(A punctured coil will void the warranty). Use only provided plastic

scraper. Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.

• Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to

protect the food.

• Unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster

keep the freezer door open.

• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and

remove drain plug. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When

done, screw on the drain plug in place.

Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.

• When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft

cloth. Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet.

• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

• Return the food into the freezer.

Defrosting and Draining

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.

These are some suggestions for safe storage:

• TV Dinners 3 - 4 Months

• Fresh Shrimp, scallops, crawfish 3 - 6 Months

• Hamburger & stew meats 3 - 4 Months

• Ground Turkey, veal, pork 3 - 4 Months

• Chops 4 - 6 Months

• Steaks 6 - 12 Months

• Chicken or turkey, whole 1 year
