UNPACKING YOUR FREEZER
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape
holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing tape or printed materials before
powering on the freezer.
ADJUSTING YOUR FREEZER
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a surface strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could
damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer is tilted, let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to
plugging in. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
• To assure your freezer works at the maximum eciency it was designed for, you
should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and
electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper
grounding to power the freezer. Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting o
the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no eective grounding for the freezer and may result in
shock hazard.
WARNING
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS- POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD
USE OF EXTENSION CORD
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. DO NOT USE EXTENSION
CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9. Do not refreeze foods, which 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.

or thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before reusing.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9. Do not refreeze foods, which 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9. Do not refreeze foods, which 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.
