Electrical Connection
Connect the freezer to a dedicated 120 Volt, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.
Initial Startup
After positioning, allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, the freezer will begin to cool. Allow 24 hours for the freezer to reach its optimal operating temperature before loading with food.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Control
The freezer features an external temperature control panel. Adjust the temperature setting using the controls to achieve desired cooling levels. Refer to the display for current temperature.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the freezer. Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a mild detergent and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.

Power Outage
In case of a power outage, keep the freezer door closed to maintain the internal temperature for as long as possible. Food can remain frozen for several hours depending on the ambient temperature and how full the freezer is.
