Installation
Important!!! Please Read Before Installation
• If the unit has recently been transported on its side, please let unit stand still for a minimum of 24
hours before plugging it in.
• Make sure that the unit drops down to desired temperature before loading the unit with product.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit in the area where it will operate.
• Make sure all accessories are installed (i.e.. Shelves, shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in.
• Please read through the manual in its entirety.
Cabinet Location Guidelines
• Install the unit on strong and leveled surfaces
- Unit may be noisy if surface is uneven.
- Unit may malfunction if surface is uneven.
• Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area
- Unit performs more efficiently in a well-ventilated area.
- For best performance, please maintain clearance of 4” on the back of the unit. Front of the unit should
remain unobstructed.
- Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and damage to the unit.
• Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area
- Humidity could cause unit to rust and decrease efficiency of the unit.
- Dust collected on condenser coil will cause unit to malfunction.
- Malfunction due to dirty condenser will void warranty.
• Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment
- High ambient temperatures will cause the compressor to overwork, leading to higher energy bills and gradual
breakdown of the unit. With the lid open, the unit should not be used in areas of 80 degrees. The unit should not be
used in areas over 90 degrees.
- Malfunction due to high ambient temperature will void warranty.
Electrical
• Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or
high voltage can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit.
• All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate
overcurrent protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the nameplate.
• Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Functions
Adjusting the Temperature
Your new refrigerator or freezer is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food
safety and should require no adjustments.
Freezers are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -15°F and a maximum temperature
of -8°F.
Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not
run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
Digital Control Units
• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings.
Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The
cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the
compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum
temperatures and possible health code violations.

User Manual
Defrost System
To ensure optimal performance, unit should be placed into a defrost when the thickness of the ice on
the cabinet wall reaches 1/4”. To defrost, the unit must be free of product and left unplugged or put
in a manual defrost cycle until the ice build up melts. Do not use sharp tools or scrape the ice, this
could damage the interior of the cabinet. After defrosting, clean the wall with a dry cloth and then
turn the power back on.
To run a manual defrost, press the defrost button (snoflakes symbol and down arrow) for
approximately 3 seconds. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Please Note:
• The sound of water flowing during operation is normal; this is the refrigerant.
• When the humidity is high, condensation may form on the surface of the freezer.
• When the freezer is running, the condenser and compressor will be hot.
• For best performance, install where the temperature is below 75°F and 55% humidity.
