Providing the correct power source

Check your local power source. Your freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply.

Using your freezer

The storage life of frozen foods varies. You should use the food before the recommended storage time expires.
Place frozen food into your freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packaging,
carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
Prepackaged, commercially-frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a three-star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
Shelves are provided for the organization of odd-shaped items.
1 Plug in your freezer. Wait for 30 minutes, then open the freezer door to determine if your freezer is working correctly.
When your freezer is plugged into a power outlet, it runs continuously.
2 Wait two to four hours before putting food into your freezer. If the room temperature is high, wait four or more
hours.
3 Turn the Control knob to adjust the temperature. Your freezer has three marked temperature settings:
• MIN: 10.4°F ~ 5°F (-12°C ~ -15°C)
• MID: -0.4°F ~ -4°F (-18°C ~ -20°C)
• MAX" -7.6°F ~ -11.2°F (-22°C ~ -24°C)
You can set the temperature to one of the setting positions or to a setting position between the marked settings.
Notes
• You may need to adjust the temperature based on the ambient room temperature. If the room temperature
is high, (for example, in summer) lower the freezer temperature. If the room temperature is low, (for
example, in winter) raise the freezer temperature.
• You may need to adjust the temperature based on how much food is in your freezer.
• If your freezer is unplugged or loses power, you must wait three to five minutes before restarting it. Your
freezer will not start if you attempt to restart it sooner.
• If the power fails, unplug your freezer, then wait until the power is back to normal before you plug it in.
• Large amounts of food lower the cooling efficiency of your freezer.
• Do not put bottled food or drinks in your freezer.

Warnings
Make sure that:
• The power outlet accepts a 3-prong grounding plug. The third prong on
the power cord plug grounds your freezer to minimize the possibility of
electric shock. Do not modify the power plug.
• You do NOT plug anything else into the same power outlet as your
freezer. You may overload the circuit which can cause a fire.
• You do NOT use an extension cord. If your freezer is too far from the
power outlet, move your freezer or have a electrician install a plug closer
to your freezer.
• The power outlet cannot be turned off with a switch or pull string.
