INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:Read all instructions before installing
• Allow the unit to stand in place at least 24 hours after transporting or moving before plugging it in.
• Make sure that the unit has reached the desired operating temperature before loading product into it.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit and in the space in which it will be used.
• Verify that all accessories (shelf clips, shelves, casters, etc.) are correctly installed and in place prior
to plugging in.
• Be sure to read the manual in its entirety before using the unit.
• Make sure that the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord or plug.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
• Install the unit on a level surface that can support weight of the unit. Uneven surfaces may cause the
unit to make noises or not function properly.
• Install in an indoor, well-ventilated area. The unit will function more efciently with proper ventilation.
ALWAYS allow for 4” of clearance in the back of the unit.
• This unit is not intended for outdoor use. Using it outdoors can result in decreased efciency and
may cause the unit to malfunction or become damaged.
• DO NOT install in an area with high humidity or that is very dusty. Humidity can lead to rusting of the
components or surfaces, and dust can cause the condenser coil to malfunction. Be sure to clean the
condenser regularly, at least once a month, with a brush or clean cloth.
• DO NOT install the unit near any sources of heat or moisture generating equipment. High ambient
temperatures can cause the compressor to overwork, leading to higher energy consumption and
gradual breakdown of the unit.
NOTE:Installing the unit in an improper location or manner may result in failure of the unit, and could
void the warranty.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
ALWAYS make sure that the unit is plugged into a properly installed and grounded dedicated outlet that
meets the requirements listed on the ratings label and that has appropriate overcurrent protection. Voltage
that is too high or too low can detrimentally affect the operation of, or damage, the unit. DO NOT modify or
cut the power cord, or use any other plug or an extension cord.

NOTE: Not all features and functions are programmed on all models.
NOTE: It is not recommended to change the default operating parameters for the temperature and
defrost settings, or other advanced settings within the controller. If adjustments to these settings are
needed, please contact customer service or a qualied service technician.
TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF
Use the main power switch at the top of the freezer next to the control panel to turn it on and off.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
1. Press the SET “Set” button for at least 1 second.
2. Use the UP “aux ” or DOWN “def ” button to increase or decrease the set temperature. The temperature
can be set with a range of -8° F (-22° C) to -0° F (-18° C).
3. Press the SET “Set” button to save the new setting. The unit will now cool to the set temperature.
NOTE: Setting the temperature control too low may result in the evaporator coil building up excessive
ice which can lead to the freezer not cooling properly.
DEFROSTING
There is also an automatic electric defrost system to keep ice from building up on the cooling system. The
defrost cycle is set to operate for a preset amount of time at preset intervals. To manually run a defrost
cycle, press and hold the Down-Defrost button “def ” for 5 seconds.
NOTE: The manual defrost will only happen if the temperature is within the defrost parameters.
NOTE: Opening the door often, or for long periods can cause excessive ice buildup and higher temperatures
in the cabinet, and should be avoided.
CONTINUOUS CYCLE
Press the UP “aux ” or DOWN “def ” buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to put the unit into Continuous
Cycle mode.
NOTE: It is not recommended to put the unit into the Continuous Cycle mode as doing so may result in
the evaporator coil building up excessive ice which can lead to the freezer not cooling properly.
LOADING PRODUCT
Before loading product onto the pre-installed shelves, make sure that all the shelf clips are securely
fastened, and that the shelves are stable and level. In order to maintain proper airow in the freezer,
be sure to leave 2-4” of clearance between the back wall and product stored in the unit. Blocking the
evaporator fans may result in the cabinet not cooling properly, and can lead to compressor failure. Always
allow the unit to cool down to the set temperature before loading product into it.
NOTE: After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the compressor.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
Figure 4
For efcient operation, it is important that
the condenser surface be kept free of
dust, dirt, and lint. It is recommended to
clean the condenser coil and the ns at
least once per month.
Remove the screws holding the vent
cover at the bottom of the unit in the front
(see Figure 4) to access the condenser.
Use a commercial condenser coil
cleaner, available from any kitchen
equipment retailer. Brush the condenser
ns from top to bottom, not side to side.
After cleaning, straighten any bent
condenser ns with a n comb.
CLEANING THE FAN BLADES AND MOTOR
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. When washing the fan blades, be sure to
cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.

When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cleaners, caustic soap or bleach as those may damage the surfaces.
Door gaskets should be washed on a weekly basis. Simply remove the door gasket from the frame of the
door, soak in warm water and soap for 30 minutes, dry with a soft cloth, and replace on the door. Be sure
to check that they are properly sealing after they are replaced.
Periodically remove the shelves and pilasters from the unit and clean them with mild soap and warm
water. To remove the pilasters, rst remove the shelves and shelf brackets, and then simply lift the pilaster
