SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
- Remove the exterior and interior packing.
- Check to be sure you have all of the following accessories:
- Storage basket (1)
- Ice shovel (1)
- Instruction manual (1)
- Before connecting the freezer to a power source, let the freezer stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth (see "Cleaning Your Freezer" on page 9).
Installing Your Freezer
- This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should not be recessed or built in.
- Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
- Allow 5 inches of space around the back and sides of the freezer for proper air ventilation.
- Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.
- Your freezer should be conveniently located in a dry, well-ventilated room away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
- Do not install the freezer where the temperature could drop below 32 °F or rise above 100 °F. Temperatures outside of this range may affect the performance and longevity of the unit.
- Avoid running the freezer in damp areas.
- Plug the freezer into a dedicated, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an adapter.
- After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool for 2-3 hours before placing food in the freezer compartment.
Installation Instructions
Electrical Connection
⚠️ WARNING:
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
- This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord for this freezer is equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the risk of electrical shock.
- Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the supplied power cord.
- This freezer requires a standard AC 115–120V/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
- This freezer is not designed to be used with an adapter.
- To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling.
- Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the receptacle.
- Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
- The Power light [red indicator] indicates that the freezer is properly connected to an electrical source.
- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician so as to minimize the risk of ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
DANGER: Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable Refrigerant Used. To Be Repaired Only by Trained Service Personnel. Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.

CAUTION: Risk of Fire or Explosion Due to Puncture of Refrigerant Tubing. Follow Handling Instructions Carefully. Flammable Refrigerant Used.
Operating Your Freezer
Temperature Control
temperature control dial
A circular temperature control dial with settings from 0 to 7 is located on the front panel. The RUN indicator [green indicator] lights up when the compressor is operating.
Once your freezer is in its proper place, plug the power cord into an electrical socket to turn on the unit. The light (green) will be lit if the freezer compressor is in operation (i.e., the temperature control dial is set anywhere from 1 to 7).
Temperature Control Chart
| Temperature dial setting | Average freezer temperature* |
|---|---|
| 0 | N/A (freezer off) |
| 1 | 3.87 °F |
| 2 | 1.83 °F |
| 3 | 0.82 °F |
| 4 | -1.41 °F |
| 5 | -3.26 °F |
| 6 | -6.25 °F |
| 7 | -7.42 °F |
* Given a room temperature of 66 °F.
Operation
- Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select.
- Turning the dial to 0 (off) stops the freezer's cooling cycle but doesn't shut off power to the freezer. The Run indicator (green) will turn off.
- When turning the freezer on for the first time, set the temperature dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs. This will ensure the freezer compartment is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
Note:
- If the unit is unplugged or loses power, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
- Large volumes of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
- If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat control by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
Defrosting Your Freezer
- For maximum operating efficiency and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive, or 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (approximately every 3 months).
- Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION:
Do not use boiling water to defrost your freezer because hot water may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty.
- Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler or ice chest to protect the food.
- Unplug the freezer. The Run light (green) should be off.
- During defrosting, the ice melts into the compartment.
- When the defrosting process is complete, place a shallow pan beneath the drain outlet on the exterior front of the freezer (lower left).
- Unscrew and remove the drain cap.
- Let all the water (melted ice) drain out.
- Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
After defrosting is complete:
- Clean the interior of the freezer.
- Replace the drain cap.
- Plug in the unit and wait for the Power light [red indicator] to come on.
- Adjust the temperature control dial to 7. The Run indicator [green indicator] should come on.
- Allow the cabinet to cool for 1 hour.
- Return food to the freezer.
- Adjust the temperature control dial to set the freezer to your preferred temperature.
HELPFUL HINT
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will speed up the melting process. Pouring warm (NOT boiling!) water onto the ice will also speed up the melting process.
⚠️ WARNING:
Scraping ice from the freezer compartment can damage the unit.
The Freezer Compartment
- This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food, up to 3 months.
- The storage life of frozen foods varies, and the recommended storage time for a food should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.
- Pre-packed, commercially frozen foods should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturers' instructions.
- Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions about storage times on the packet, carefully follow these instructions.
- The freezer lid is susceptible to breakage due to excessive ice buildup. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, simply slide the basket to one side or lift it out.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Freezer
We recommend that you clean your new appliance thoroughly before installing it and each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor-free and running efficiently.
- Unplug the freezer.
- Remove all food and the storage basket.
- Wash the inside with a soft cloth soaked in a solution of 1 quart of lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
- Wash the storage basket with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
- Be sure to keep the door gasket clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
- The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
- Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Vacation Time
- Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks.
- Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odors and mold growth, leave the door open slightly. Prop the door open if necessary or remove the door.
Moving Your Freezer
- Unplug the freezer.
- Remove all the food.
- Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
- Tape the doors shut.
- Be sure the freezer stays upright during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips
- The freezer should be located in the coolest part of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
- Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may spoil.
- Be sure to wrap foods properly. Wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
- The storage basket should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
- Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
