BEFORE INSTALLING, PLEASE MAKE SURE:
•If the unit has recently been transported do not use for a minimum of 24 hours before installing.
•Make sure that the unit is at the desired temperature before loading it with product.
•Ensure that the unit will have proper ventilation in the area that it will operate.
•Inspect the unit to verify all accessories (shelves, shelf clips) are equipped with the unit before proceeding with installation.
•Review the entire manual in its entirety. Lack of maintenance or misuse of the unit will void the warranty.
•To minimize shock and fire hazards, be sure not to over load the outlet. One outlet should be designated to the unit only.
•Do not use extension cords.
•Do not put hands under the unit when moving.
•When the unit is not being used for an extended period of time, unplug the unit from the outlet.
•After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before re-plugging it. Failure to wait the allotted time may cause damage to
the compressor.
•To minimize shock and/or fire hazards, be sure not to plug or unplug the unit with wet hands.
•Before any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the unit as a precaution.
•To minimize shock and fire hazards, make sure that the unit is properly grounded.
•Do not attempt to remove or repair any component.
•Make sure that the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord or plug.
•Do not hang or lean against door as this may cause personal injury or damage to the door hinge.
•Do not store any flammable and/or explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
•Do not attempt to alter or tamper with the electrical cord.
•Do not set the desired temperature out of the recommended temperature range: (FREEZER:-8°F – 20°F)
CABINET LOCATION GUIDELINES
Install the unit on a flat sturdy surface
•Unit may make abnormal noises if surface is uneven
•Unit may malfunction if surface is uneven
Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area with a floor drain nearby
•Unit performs more efficiently in a well-ventilated area
•For optimal performance, maintain a clearance of at least 6” around all sides
•Outdoor use may cause decreased performance and may damage the unit
Avoid installing the unit in a high humidity and/or dusty area
•Exposure to humidity may cause the unit to rust and/or decrease the efficiency of the unit.
•Dust build up on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction. Clean the condenser at least once a month
with a brush or clean cloth. Neglect of maintenance will void the warranty.
Select a location away from heat and moisture generating equipment
•High ambient temperatures will cause the compressor to overcompensate, leading to higher energy bills and
eventual break down 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 temperatures will void the warranty.
ELECTRICAL
Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is constant at all times. Low or high voltage can detrimentally affect
the unit and there by void its warranty.
All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with an appropriate over current protection.
Please refer to the electrical requirements on the serial tag located inside the unit. Please make sure that the unit has its own
dedicated outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
WARNINGS
INSTALLATION

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The temperature controls are factory set to maintain optimum temperatures for food safety. No adjustments are required.
Regulating the Temperature
Your new freezer is now manufactured to run at ideal temperatures for food quality and should not require any alterations.
Freezers are set to cycle between a base temperature of -10° Fahrenheit and a temperature maximum of 5° Fahrenheit.
Altering the temperature changes the base temperature your unit will keep running at. Your unit won’t run always at this
setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the temperature that the refrigerator is currently set to.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the temperature
• Press “SET” to save your settings

FREEZER CONTROL
LOADING PRODUCT
Ice cream flavors with a higher sugar content will require a lower temperaure for storage. These kinds of flavors are best
stored in the corners of the unit to ensure they are kept the coldest. Dipping cabinents are not designed for long term storage.
Crystallization may occur if ice cream is allowed to warm up prior to placement in the cabinet.
DEFROST SYSTEMS
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.
RUNNING A MANUAL DEFROST CYCLE
This unit is pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you would like to run a manual
defrost cycle at any time, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove all ice cream from the freezer and keep them in other freezer.
2. Once the freezer is emptied out completely, unplug the power source, and open the lid(s).
3. It could take from half an hour to several hours to defrost the freezer depending on how much ice is built up.
4. After the defrosting process is over, please remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the operator side to drain off
the water in the bottom of the freezer that has collected.
NOTE: We strongly reccomend that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect power cord before cleaning any parts of the unit.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept free of dust, dirt, and lint. It is highly recommended
that the condenser coil be cleaned at least once a month. Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner and brush the
condenser fins from top to bottom. After cleaning, straighten any bent fins with a fine comb.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If needed, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth if there is any build up. If it is necessary to wash the fan blades,
cover the fan motor first to prevent any kind of moisture damage.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT
When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a mixture of mild soap and warm water. It is not recommended to use steel wool,
caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach as this may cause damage to the stainless steel surface.
TRANSPARENT LID CLEANING
• The lid can be removed from the unit by taking down the hinge bracket when cleaning.
• The lid can be washed with non-abrasive detergents and soapy water.
• Rough cloths should not be used for cleaning to prevent the lid surface from being scratched.
• Do not use acetone, alcohol or dry-cleaning fluid to clean the plastic lid.
CAN HOLDER CLEANING
• The plastic can holder can be removed from the unit for easy cleaning.
