IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care
guide.
2. This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation
instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3. Never unplug freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Return appliance to
the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
5. Unplug freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that
a certified technician performs the service. Component parts shall be replaced
with like components and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service
personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or
improper service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting the freezer.
7. After the freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
8. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: “…You may
safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if
they are still cold-below 40˚F.
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any o-odor or o-color
should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The
food may be dangerous to eat … Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The
eating quality of red meats is aected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you
can.”
NOTE: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period
of time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

SAFETY INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the [tool/appliance] is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
connected to the [tool/appliance] – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED [TOOL/APPLIANCE] RATED LESS
THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY
CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected
to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a
temporary adaptor is not recommended.
ENGLISH

Page 6
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet
near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, extreme care must be
exercised.

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed
cords because they can cause electrical shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an
excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to
the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical
connection procedures.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FREEZERS
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a
third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the freezer, a
voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in
less voltage being supplied to the freezer and increases the amount of current (amp)
draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the
voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate
the freezer. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Unpack your freezer by removing all packaging materials like carton, base, foams,
adhesive tape, etc.
2. Remove all accessories, internal packaging material used to hold shelves, ice tray,
etc. in place.
3. Clean the remains of all adhesive tape used and remove all printed material
supplied.
4. Install the freezer in a convenient location away from extreme heat and cold. Allow
sucient clearance between the freezer and side wall so the door(s) will open
without obstruction. Freezer is not designed for recessed installation.
5. The floor on which the freezer should be placed must be flat, hard, solid, and
even. The freezer should not be placed on any soft material such as foam, plastic,
carpeting, etc.
6. The following are recommended minimum clearances around the freezer for
proper air circulation:
Sides: ¾” (19mm)
Back: 2” (50mm)
Proper air circulation will help your freezer work at maximum eciency.
NOTE: The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply.
WARNING
It is important to keep the power cord away from the compressor at the
back of the freezer as during operation, the compressor can reach a high
temperature and could cause serious damage to the power cord.
CAUTION
Care should be taken during the handling moving and use of the freezer to
avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

CLEANING AND
MAINTAINING
The freezer should be cleaned and
maintained once a month. Before doing
so, you must unplug the freezer.
POWER INTERRUPTION
In case of a power interruption/outage,
unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Replug the power cord to the
wall outlet once the power has been
restored. For long period of power
outage, inspect and discard the spoiled
or thawed foods from the freezer and
freezer compartments. Clean the freezer
thoroughly before using again.
CLEANING METHOD
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4
tablespoons of baking soda mixed with
warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth,
dampened with the cleaning solution to
wipe down your freezer.
•Rinse with clean warm water and dry
with a soft cloth,
•Do not use harsh chemicals,
abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or
metal scouring pads. Some of these
chemicals may dissolve, damage
and/or discolor your freezer.
DOOR GASKET
Clean door gaskets every three months
according to general instructions.
Gasket must be kept clean and pliable to
assure a proper seal.
•Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the
hinge sides of gaskets will keep the
gasket pliable and ensure a good
seal.
CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING
Always unplug your freezer before
cleaning to avoid electric shock.
Ignoring this warning
may result in death or injury
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or
product damage always read and
follow manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings before using any

VACATION AND MOVING
CARE
•When going on extended vacation,
it is best that you empty all the
food from your freezer. Set the
temperature dial to “0” and unplug
the freezer. Clean the unit as per
“Cleaning Method” and leave the
door open to remove any odors.
When travelling or moving the freezer,
always transport the unit vertically.
Moving the unit on its sides may damage
the freezer and/or its compressor.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR
THE FREEZER YOURSELF.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The freezer should be located in the
coolest area 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 in the
freezer. Overloading the freezer
forces the compressor to run
longer and thus increase energy
consumption. Foods that refrigerate
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
•Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing in
the freezer.
•The shelves should not be lined with
aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper
towels. This will interfere with cold air
circulation, making the freezer less
ecient.
•Organize 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.
