IMPORTANT NOTES
♦
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE LEFT OFF IN ITS NORMAL OPERATING POSITION FOR 2 HOURS
PRIOR TO TURNING IT ON TO ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR OIL TO SETTLE.
♦
IF THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN HANDLED ON ITS SIDE OR STANDING ON END, IT SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE NORMAL OPERATING POSITION FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE TURNING
IT ON.
♦
PRIOR TO ADDING FOODSTUFF, THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE RUN FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS
ALLOWING THE INERIOR OF THE CABINET TO COOL.
♦
THIS APPLIANCE OPERATES ON
12 OR 24 VOLTS DC
(DIRECT CURRENT) ONLY! DO NOT
CONNECT DIRECTLY TO AN AC (ALTERNATING CURRENT) POWER SOURCE.
♦
NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE LID.
♦
If the room/ambient temperature approaches the appliance operating temperature, the appliance will not function as
it should. If the room/ambient temperature exceeds 100
o
F (38
o
C), the appliance will not function as it should.
♦
A battery-powered
or direct drive
freezer has a cooling capacity lower than typical AC units. Because
the
compressor is small, the unit runs more efficiently, but lacks the ability to cool large warm loads as
quickly as
typical AC appliances.
