INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using the Freezer
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the freezer to a power source, let the unit stand upright for approximately 4
hours to mitigate the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling
during transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Refer to the cleaning
instruction on page 5)
Installing the Freezer
•
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
•
Place the freezer on a
leveled/even
floor surface that is strong enough to support the weight of
the freezer when it is fully loaded to prevent vibrations and allow water to properly drain.
The
front feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly.
•
The leveling feet should only be used in forward and backward motions and never side to side.
•
Allow at least 5cm of space between the back and sides of the freezer to allow proper air
ventilation.
Adjust the two front feet to keep the freezer leveled or elevated.
•
Situate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of direct heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may cause an
increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 50°F or above 85°F will hinder
the performance of this appliance.
•
This unit is not designed for outside installation.
•
Avoid situating the freezer in moist OR
pest infestation
areas.
•
Plug the freezer into dedicated, 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 or an
authorized service center.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down
for 2~3 hours before placing food in the freezer or freezer compartment.
•
Do not place items on the top of this appliance.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the
freezer forces the compressor to work harder. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or
spoil.
•
Do not adjust the temperatures colder than necessary. Refer to page 4 for temperature
instructions.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Refrain from leaving the door/s open for a long time to conserve energy.
