Propane is approved for use as a refrigerant in commercial, self-contained units in Canada
and USA under limited use conditions. It can e used in new equipment only, retrofitting is
not allowed, with a limited charge of up to 150 grams (5.3 oz) per refrigeration circuit. Even
though this is a small amount, it still presents a fire/explosion hazard if it leaks out of refrig-
erant containing parts. When mixed with air, a flamma le propane-air mixture can e created
and easily ignited y sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces. This is particularly true in confined
zones. Propane is heavier than air and tends to settle at lower points.
To mitigate the risk, please follow the precautionary measures as follows:
• Avoid unit installation in areas with open flames (kitchens, repair garages or the like), or
in vicinity of open flames or high surface temperatures.
• Avoid unit installation in confined spaces. Well ventilated areas are preferred. Keep clear
all ventilation openings of o structions.
• Do not rely on smell to detect potential leaks of propane refrigerant. Propane refrigerant is
a high purity propane gas and does not contain any stenching agent(s). Stenching agents
are typically used in fuel-grade propane and natural gas to detect their presence in air y
relying on smell.
• All repairs must e performed in well ventilated areas.
• To minimize the risk of possi le ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service, compo-
nent parts shall e replaced with like components and servicing shall e done y service
personnel authorized y Minus Forty Technologies Corp.
• Do not attempt to modify the unit or remove any functional part(s) from the unit.
• Handle the unit with care to avoid any damage.
• When transporting the unit, all appropriate safety considerations must e considered.
Check with local Department of Transportation for detailed requirements pertaining to
transportation of flamma le gasses.

CABINET LOCATION: An air space of at least 6” (15.24cm) must be maintained on all sides of the
freezer. Do not locate the freezer in a warm unventilated room exceeding 86ºF (30ºC) and 55%RH; do
not place freezer in direct sunlight; do not place freezer under or near heat range or heating vent.
CABINET LEVELING: The freezer must be completely leveled side to side and front to back or slightly
tilted front to back but never tilted forward. Once the freezer is placed in its final location, use a car-
penter level to level the freezer. Proper leveling of the freezer is important for the door closing and
water drainage during the defrost cycle. There are two leg levelers in the front that can be adjusted. First,
loosen the nuts using an adjustable wrench. Second, turn levelers counter-clockwise to raise the freezer,
or clockwise to lower, until they reach the leveled position. Lastly, tighten the nuts again to lock the legs.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
• DO NOT CUT, REMOVE OR BYPASS THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG
• DO NOT PLUG FREEZER INTO AN OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL SWITCH
• ENSURE POWER CORD IS NOT CUT OR DAMAGED FROM PINCHING, KNOTTING, OR MISHANDLING
NOTICE:
Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty and/or cause loss of product.
All models require a 15 Amp dedicated and properly grounded 115V/60Hz/1Ph circuit
with a NEMA 5-15P receptacle. Wiring should be sized according to the amperage
rating stated on the serial plate. Failure to use a dedicated circuit may cause the circuit
breaker to trip off and/or cause voltage drops. As a result, power to the freezer may be
interrupted and freezing performance can be adversely affected which may cause equip-
ment damage and/or product loss.
Voltage supply to the freezer must not vary more than ±10% of the nominal 115V, or performance may
be affected. The warranty and liability does not cover damage resulting from excessive voltage
variations.
The anti-fog glass door has a protective film on the inner side. After the
unit has been installed, peel and remove the protective film covering
the inner glass surface.
WARNING
These freezers MUST be installed on a dedicated grounded circuit protected with a 15 Amp circuit breaker
or a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Do not remove ground prong. If the cord or plug is damaged, replace with the
same type. Refrigeration and electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Once the freezer is running, the inside temperature will start to cool down within a couple of minutes.
Ensure that the freezer has reached the desired temperature (this will take between 2 to 3 hours) by
checking the electronic control display readout before loading product. It is strongly recommended to
run the freezer empty for 24 hours before loading any products.
NOTE:
If the freezer is running and the power supply is interrupted, the freezer will not restart
Immediately. There is a 6 minute delay for compressor protection.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Check with your power company if you are not certain of your power supply.
Before connecting to power supply the freezer should be upright and idle for at least 1 hour.

ILLUSTRATION: 13-USGF, 19-USGF, 22-USGF SHELF AND BASKET, INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
The freezer is supplied with shelves and molded or metallic clips. The freezer has slotted pilasters to po-
sition the shelves according to the customer’s needs.
Metallic Clip ShelfShelfMolded Clip
The clips can be removed at any time if a new position is chosen for the shelf or basket. To remove, grab
the clip with your thumb and index finger, then push up the bottom surface until the clip is free. Once
the clips are in place, put the shelf on top. Once the shelves are securely in place, baskets (if equipped)
may be positioned on the shelves.
Once the unit has been installed and the power supply has been connected, press
the power switch to the “ON” position using a pen or pencil.
The compressor will start to run after 6 minutes. This can be confirmed by lis-
tening for a slight humming or a slight vibration.
