IMPORTANT SAFEGUIDES 

 

                              Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as  

described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,  
electrical shock or injury when using the freezer, follow basic precaution,  
including the following: 

 
 
 
 
 

 

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do 
not use an extension cord. 

 

Replace all panels before operating. 

 

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer be provided. Use receptacles 
that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. 

 

Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. 
And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any 
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. 

 

Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit 
is disconnected. 

 

Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet. 

 

Unplug the freezer or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in 
electrical shock or death. 

 

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your freezer unless it is specifically recommended in 
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 

 
 
 
 
 

FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL 

 

Use two or more people to move and install freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other 
injury. 

 

To ensure proper ventilation for your freezer, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. 
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16

°

C) and below 90°F (32°C). This 

unit must be installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water spray or 
drips. 

 

The freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat. 

 

The freezer must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with 
state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in 
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required. 

 

Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of freezer. 

 

The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes. 

 

It is important for the freezer to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several 
adjustments to level it. 

 

All installation must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. 

 

Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installations. 

 

Check for leaks after connection. 

 

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the freezer. 

 

Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch 
of cubes must be discarded. 

 

 

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents of abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may 
damage or discolor the interior. 

 

Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
