1. Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before using your chest freezer. Keep this manual for future reference.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the freezer is plugged into a grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords.
- Ventilation: Maintain adequate clearance around the freezer for proper ventilation.
- Flammable Materials: Do not store explosive substances or flammable materials inside the freezer.

2. Setup Instructions
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films. Inspect the freezer for any damage during transit.
2.2 Placement
Place the freezer on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stoves, radiators). Ensure there is at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space around the freezer for proper air circulation. Do not recess the freezer into a cabinet or stack anything on top of it, as this can impede performance and airflow.

2.3 Leveling
The freezer is equipped with adjustable foot pegs. Adjust them to ensure the unit is level, which is crucial for efficient operation and proper door sealing.
2.4 Initial Power-On
After placing the freezer in its desired location, allow it to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle, preventing potential damage to the cooling system.
3. Operating Instructions
