Caution: If freezer has been tilted at an angle greater than 45°, wait 8 hours
before plugging in unit. Failure to follow this caution could result in permanent
damage to the cooling unit.
8. Adjust the temperature to the recommended setting and wait 24 hours before
putting food into the freezer.
NOTE: Setting the temperature control to OFF does not remove power from the
freezer, it only stops the cooling.
NOTE: Bubbling sounds or slight vibrations are the result of refrigerant circulat-
ing through the cooling coils – this is normal. The temperature control will make a
clicking sound as it cycles on and off.
