INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
4 Baskets
1 Instruction Manual
•Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of Your Freezer
•Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
To level your freezer, adjust the legs at the front of the freezer.
•Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air
circulation to cool the compressor.
•Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform
properly.
•Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.
•Plug the freezer into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.

•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the freezer.
•Before discarding or storing any refrigerator or freezer, consider the entrapments/
suffocation risk for small children. Take off the doors and leave the shelves in place
so that small children cannot easily climb inside
•Read all instructions before using the freezer.
• Never clean freezer parts with flammable liquids.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your freezer, follow
these basic precautions:

Electrical Connection
Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, It must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this freezer is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord
supplied.
Use of extension cords is not recommended.
This freezer requires a standard 220/240 volts, 50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
•The temperature control is located at the rear bottom corner of the appliance.
•The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control to the maximum position, using a
coin or flathead screwdriver.
•The range of the temperature control is from position" 1" the warmest to “6” the coldest. After 24
to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The
setting of “3~4” should be correct for home or office freezer use.
•To turn the freezer off, turn the temperature control to "OFF”
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "OFF" position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut
off the power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
Defrosting Your Freezer
•When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
compartment when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.
•How? To start defrosting, turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the
food and baskets. After the frost or ice has melted, discard the water and dry up the
interior of freezer. Then the freezer can be restarted by a turning its thermostat to the desired
setting.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use
a sharp or metallic instrument to remove ice as it may damage the cooling coils and
will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
•Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the freezer floor.
The Freezer Compartment
•This compartment is designed for the long term storage of frozen food.
•The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when
defrosting the freezer.
•Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods
manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.

80IM.pdf 17/5/07 3:37:08 PM

•Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
•The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost
when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Freezer
•Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, and remove the food, and baskets.
•Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a 1 litre of water.
•Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.
•The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
•Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature
of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going
to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your freezer, clean your freezer, and leave the
door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving Your Freezer
•Remove all the food.
•Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
•Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
•Tape the door shut.
•Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
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 the direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
•Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
•Freezer storage baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
•Organize and label 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.
