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 surface 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 in. 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)
Top....................4” (102mm)
6INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER
Operating Your Freezer
• 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.
General Features
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The
temperature control dial has 7 settings plus OFF. “1” is the warmest, “7” is the
coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “4” and
allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
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.
Defrosting
• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, 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). Use only a plastic scraper. Do not use Mboiling water as it may damage
the unit.
• Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
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.

Defrost Drain
Place a narrow defrost pan (not included) in front of the freezer, gently slide the
defrost drain outward. Water that has accumulated at the bottom of the freezer
during defrosting will drain into the pan.
NOTE: Monitor the defrost pan to avoid overflow.
• When defrosting 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.
Leveling Your Freezer
• Your freezer has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom corners
of your freezer. After properly placing your freezer in its final position, you can
level your freezer.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your
freezer or by turning them clockwise to lower your freezer. The freezer door will
close easier when leveling legs are extended.

rear of the hinge and slide forward.
2. Lossen the top hinge screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.

hinge. Press firmly on the front of the cover until it snaps in place.
8FREEZER FEATURES AND USE
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.
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

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.
