EQUIPMENT SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your unit. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words "DANGER" or "WARNING".
• • • • In the event of any damage: o Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark, o Disconnect from the electrical power line, o Air the room in which the unit isolated for several minutes, and o Contact the Service Department for advice. The more coolant there is in a unit, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the unit is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Freezer Remove the exterior and interior packing. CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water, using a soft cloth.
Electrical Connection WARNING Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE Defrosting Your Freezer This freezer requires manual defrosting, which should be done when the frost on the freezer walls reaches 1/8” to ¼” in thickness. 1. Remove any frozen items in the freezer, and take care the items do not begin to thaw. 2. Unplug the freezer and remove the shelves. The defrosting process is accelerated if the door is left open. 3. Use a sponge or towel to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. 4.
Energy Saving Tips • The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight. • Let warm items cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. • Be sure to package stored items properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
