vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.

has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance for examination, repair or replacement of any
part of the freezer. See the WARRANTY section.
9. To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, follow the instructions in the INSTALLATION
section for proper clearances. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C)
and below 90°F (32°C).
10. Do not use outdoors.

DANGER - Risk of child entrapment
Before disposing of your appliance, ensure that the door(s) are removed. Shelves should also be left
in place to help avoid children climbing inside. Never allow a child to operate, play with or climb inside
the appliance.
GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded plug (2 blades and 1 pin). If the
plug does not fit fully into the electrical outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way or use an adaptor.
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your freezer to extension cords or together with any other
appliance in the same wall outlet. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove all packaging, including the foam between the condenser and cabinet on the outside of the
unit. WARNING: Two or more people should move the freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injuries.
2. Remove all packaging and labels. If there is any glue residue rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
with your fingers then wipe with warm water and dry.
NOTE: Do not use any sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners to
remove tape or glue.
3. IMPORTANT: Let the freezer stand upright for approximately 2 hours before plugging into the power
source. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
4. This freezer is designed to be free standing. It was not designed for recessed or enclosed area
installation.
5. Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
6. Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may decrease cooling efficiency.
7. Ensure there is a minimum 10 cm (4") clearance on all sides of the unit for proper air circulation.
NOTE: If you are installing your freezer next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on the hinge side
to allow for the door to swing open.
8. Level the freezer by adjusting the legs. Turn the leg clockwise to raise that side of the freezer or
turn counterclockwise to lower that side. While adjusting the legs, have someone push against
the top of the freezer to take some weight off the front leveling legs.
NOTE: To help with door closure, position legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to the back.
9. Do not use in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not
designed to operate in temperatures below 12.8°C (55°F). In extreme cold ambient temperatures
the freezer will not perform properly. Avoid locating the freezer in damp or moist areas. Excessive
moisture may cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator. This would require more frequent
defrosting of the freezer.
10. Make sure all parts listed in the description of PARTS are in place.
11. Once the freezer has been plugged in (after 2 hours in the upright position), allow the freezer's
interior to cool for 2-3 hours before adding the food.
