Installation Instructions Before Using Your Freezer: • • • • • • Remove the exterior and interior packing and dispose of it according to local environmental requirements. Be sure to remove the foam sheet between the outside condenser (back of the unit) and the cabinet. Remove any tape or labels from the freezer before use (except the rating label on the back of the unit). To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb.

If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety.

Operating Your Freezer Temperature Control: • • • • • The temperature control (thermostat) for the freezer is located inside the unit, just above the cabinet. The markings on the thermostat knob range from 1 through 6, with 1 being the warmest setting and 6 the coldest. When you turn the unit on for the first time (or after defrosting), set the control to its maximum position, 6, and leave it for at least two hours before introducing the food to be stored.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment or home freezer. • Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase to avoid thawing. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow them regarding storage times. • The freezer door is susceptible to breakage due to excessive ice buildup. Be sure to defrost when the ice becomes 1/4 inch thick.
Power Failure: Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food. Prolonged Off Time: If the freezer will not be in use for a long period of time (or if the power will be off for more than a few hours), proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove all the food. Unplug the freezer.
