Electrical Connection
This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this freezer is equipped
with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility
of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This freezer requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
This freezer is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively effect the performance of the unit.
The “POWER” light (Green) indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power.
The “RUN” light (Red) will not illuminate when the unit is operating below freezing.
The “RUN” light will illuminate when the temperature inside the unit increases above freezing. Please
be advised that the “RUN” light may come on for a period of time when the lid is opened, when new
items are stored inside the unit or when the lid is forced open by irregular contents.
Do not call for service unless the “RUN” light has remained on for 6 hours or more. If this light stays
on continuously for a period of 6 hours, please contact our Customer Service Dept. to consult with a
representative at 877 856-0202 or visit our website to request warranty service at

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
Temperature Control
x Your freezer has one control for regulating the
temperature. The temperature control is
located on the lower right hand corner.
x The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the
temperature control knob to “3” and run for at
least 2 hours before putting frozen foods
inside. This will ensure the cabinet is
thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
x The range of the FREEZER temperature
control is from position "1" the warmest to "5"
the coldest. Adjust the temperature control to
the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office
freezer use.
aWARNINGa
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.

x NOTE;
x If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
x Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
x If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
Defrosting Your Freezer
x When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½ inch thick.
x Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never
use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils
and will void the warranty.
x Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
x Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light should be off (green light out).
x During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
x Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out.
x Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
x Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
x Clean the interior of the freezer.
x Replace the plug on the inside floor.
x Adjust the temperature control knob to “3”.
x Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
x Return food to the freezer.
HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting.
aWARNINGa
Scraping ice from the freezer compartment can damage the unit.
The Freezer Compartment
x This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time period is up

manufacturers’ instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
x Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions
on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
x The freezer lid is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when
the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thick.
