IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 and leave the shelves in place. 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, 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."
Thank you for using our Holiday

guide you in getting the best use of
your freezer.
Remember to record the model and
serial number. They are on a label in
back of the freezer.

Installing Your Freezer
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 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.
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)

English
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
Install Limitations
• 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˚ or above 90˚ 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.
Use of Extension Cords
• DO NOT use extension cords because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions.
General Features
Adjustable temperature dial: (see fig. # 1)
Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The
temperature control dial has 3 settings plus OFF. “1” is the warmest, “III” is the
coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “II” and
allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
(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.)

Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on indicating that the
