SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
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.
8. 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 that 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-odour or
off-colour should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice
cream should be discarded. If the odour or colour 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 their quality
as you can”.

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.
•Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only.
It should not be recessed or built-in a cabinet or other enclosure.
•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" (102 mm)
Top....................4" (102 mm)
Back..................4" (102 mm)

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.
Please note that the use of 2-prong adapters is strictly forbidden in Canada.
•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
rating of the appliance.
•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 55oF (12oC).
•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.

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 that do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.
Improper storage will result in odour 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.
Food Storage Information
•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.
