4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Unpacking

1. Remove all packaging materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape.
2. Inspect the freezer for any damage. If damage is found, contact customer support before installation.
3. Clean the interior and exterior of the freezer with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

4.2 Placement

• Place the freezer on a firm, level surface that can support its weight when fully loaded.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the freezer. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space on all sides and above the unit for proper air circulation.
• Avoid placing the freezer in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., stoves, heaters, radiators).
• Do not install the freezer in areas where the temperature is likely to drop below 50°F (10°C) or rise above 90°F (32°C).

4.3 Electrical Connection

• Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and provides 120 Volts.
• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded adapters.
• Allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
• Plug the freezer into its dedicated electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Startup

After plugging in the freezer, the compressor will start. Allow the freezer to run empty for 2-3 hours to reach its operating temperature before loading food.

5.2 Temperature Adjustment

The freezer is equipped with an external adjustable thermostat with 7 temperature levels. The dial is located on the front lower right side of the unit.

Figure 5: Temperature control dial and indicators.

• Setting 1 (Refrigerate): This is the warmest setting, suitable for light chilling.
• Settings 2-7 (Freeze): These settings progressively decrease the temperature, with 7 being the coldest setting (lowest to -11°F).
• Turn the dial to your desired temperature. For general freezing, a setting between 4 and 6 is often sufficient.
• The 'Power On' indicator light (red) illuminates when the freezer is connected to power.
• The 'Compressor On' indicator light (green) illuminates when the compressor is actively running to cool the freezer.

5.3 Loading Food

• Distribute food evenly to allow for proper air circulation.
• Use the removable baskets for smaller, frequently accessed items to prevent them from being buried.
• Avoid overloading the freezer, as this can hinder cooling efficiency.
