3. Let the Freezer stand upright for approximately 2 hours before plugging
in to the power source. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction
in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
4. This Freezer is designed to be free standing. It was not designed for
recessed or enclosed area installation.
5. Place your Freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the Freezer
when it is fully loaded.
6. 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 decrease cooling efficiency.
7. Ensure there is a minimum 20 cm (8”) clearance on both sides,10 cm (4”)
at the back wall and 30 cm (12”) above the unit for proper air circulation.
NOTE: If you are installing your Freezer next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient
space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
8. Level the Freezer by adjusting the legs at the bottom. Turn the Leg clockwise
to raise that side of the Freezer or turn counterclockwise to lower that
side. While adjusting the Legs, have someone push against the top
of the Freezer to take some weight off the front leveling legs.
NOTE: To help with door closure, position legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt
to the back.
9. DO NOT use in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage
etc. Your Freezer was not designed to operate in temperatures below
12.8°C (55°F). In extreme cold ambient temperatures the Freezer will
not perform properly. Avoid locating the Freezer in damp or moist areas.
Excessive moisture may cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator.
This would require more frequent defrosting of the Freezer.
10. Make sure all shelves and other parts listed in the Description of Parts
are in place.
11. Once the Freezer has been plugged in, allow the Freezer’s interior to cool
for 2-3 hours before putting food into the compartments.

REVERSING THE DOOR
Your Freezer has been built to open from the right; however, it has been
designed to open from either side and can easily be changed by following
the procedure below. You will need a screwdriver and putty knife or other
thin flat device to remove the hinge covers. Use care to prevent scratching
the surfaces.
1. Unplug the Freezer from the wall outlet and empty, including the shelves.
2. Remove the 2 top hinge covers and the screw-hole cover on the door and
set aside.
3. Place protective padding behind the Freezer. Turn the Freezer on its back
onto the protective padding.
4. Remove the screws from the current hinges.
5. Transfer the hinges into the receptacle on the other side of the door, and
thread and secure the screws in their new location. Replace the hinge
covers appropriately.
HOW TO USE
Setting the Temperature Control Dial
1. The Temperature Control Dial is located underneath the countertop
on the front side of the cabinet.
2. The first time you turn the unit on set the temperature control to
the maximum position, using the thermostat key provided. (If the key
is misplaced you may also use a coin or flathead screwdriver.)
3. The temperature range is from “1” the warmest, to “6” the coldest.
4. After 24 – 48 hours, adjust the temperature to suit your needs.
The setting of “4” should be appropriate for most needs.
5. To turn the Freezer off, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “OFF”
position. NOTE: This only turns off the cooling cycle – not the power.
6. If the Freezer is unplugged, turned off, or without power for any reason,
DO NOT re-connect for at least five minutes to allow the circuits to reset.
Damage may occur if it is re-connected too soon.
7. The inside temperature of the Freezer will vary depending on the frequency
of the door opening and the amount of food.
