SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise
basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and
care guide.
2. This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions
in the installation section.
3. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the
plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5. Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician perform the service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting
your freezer.
7. If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the
doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8. After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to
these extremely cold surfaces.
9. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads:
“…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain
ice crystals or it they are still cold - below 40˚F.”
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color
should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.”
“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods,
particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red
meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as
soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.”

Installing Your Freezer
Unpacking Your Freezer
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape, or printed materials
before powering on the freezer.
3. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts stated in the Parts and
Features section.
Installation
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could
damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer has been tilted more than 45-degrees, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
• Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) 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, allow the unit to cool down for
2-3 hours before placing food into the chest freezer.
Installation Limitations
• Do not install your freezer in any location that is not properly insulated
or heated (e.g. garage, etc.). Your freezer is not designed to operate in
temperatures below 55˚ Fahrenheit. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may
cause the freezer to not perform properly.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard, even surface away from
direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption. Any floor unevenness should be corrected.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
English
5
Leveling Your Refrigerator
• Your refrigerator has either casters or two leveling legs which are located in
the front corners of your refrigerator. If it has adjustable legs, after properly
placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your refrigerator. The
refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
• To ensure that your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed
for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation,
plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:
Sides……………..4"
Back………………4"
Top……………….35" (to allow the top lid to open)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the freezer.
• Avoid the use of 3-prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in
order to accommodate a 2-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept this plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Freezer Features And Use
Operating Your Freezer
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having
115 volts and 15 amps. The green “Power On” indicator light will turn on
and the red “Compressor On” indicator light will light up, indicating that the
compressor is in operation. The compressor light turns ON/OFF whenever the
compressor cycles ON/OFF.
Adjustable Temperature Control Knob (see fig. #1)
• Your freezer has one control dial for regulating the temperature. The
temperature control dial is located on the lower left hand corner. Your freezer
will automatically maintain the temperature level you select.
• The range of the temperature control knob is from position
“1” (the warmest) to “6” (the coldest). Initially, set the
temperature on “4.” The green “Power On” indicator light
will turn on, indicating that the freezer is in operation.
Wait 2-3 hours before placing food inside the freezer.
After using the freezer for 24 hours, adjust the freezer to
your desired setting.
• To stop the compressor, turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position.
Note: Turning the temperature control to the OFF position stops the compressor
and the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the freezer. To
shut off the power, the freezer must be unplugged from the wall outlet.
If the unit is unplugged, power is turned off, or you experience an
electrical outage, wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you
attempt to restart before this time delay, the compressor will not turn on.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature
control knob by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
Fast Freeze Switch (see fig. #1)
• The freezer is equipped with a Fast Freeze switch (orange), which will allow
you to quickly freeze food when you have added a lot of food at one time.
• The orange “Fast Freeze” lights up when the switch is turned to the
ON position.
• The switch overrides the thermostat and will make the compressor operate
continuously, lowering the cabinet temperature still further than the
thermostat setting.
• It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when using the Fast
Freeze switch.
Fig. #1

• Turn off the Fast Freeze switch once food has reached the desired temperature.
Note: Do not forget to turn off the Fast Freeze switch when not required.
Doing so will avoid unnecessary energy use.
• When loading the freezer, freeze only three pounds of fresh food per cubic
feet of freezer space at one time.
• Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
Food Storage Basket and Divider (see fig. #2)
• A freezer basket has been provided for better organization. The removable
basket (quantity varies by model) allows
you to store food more accessibly.
Remove the basket(s) if it is
not needed.
• To reach other packages in the
freezer, just slide the basket to
one side or lift it out.
• The removable divider can be removed by lifting it out if it is not needed.
The food divider helps to better organize your food.
Lock and Key (see fig. #3)
• Your freezer may have a lock and key feature to
secure the freezer (depending on the freezer model).
Close the lid and turn the key in a clockwise direction
to lock. Turn the key in the opposite direction to unlock.
Defrosting and Draining (see fig. #4)
• For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. Never use a sharp or metallic
instrument to remove the frost, as it may damage the cooling coils and will void
your warranty. Only use the plastic scraper that is provided. Do not use boiling
water because this may damage the plastic parts.
• Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in
a cooler to protect the food.
• Turn the temperature control to the OFF position and unplug
the unit. The green “Power On” indicator light will turn off.
• Remove the interior drain plug from the inside of the freezer.
• Place a tray beneath the exterior drain plug. Remove the
drain plug. This will allow the defrost water to flow out into
the tray. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost
faster, keep the freezer door open.
Note: Check the pan occasionally so that the water does not overflow.

• When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth and
replace the interior and exterior drain plugs. Plug in the power cord back into
the electrical outlet.
• Turn the Fast Freeze switch on for a minimum of two hours and then turn off.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food to the freezer.
Food Storage Information
This freezer is designed for the long-term storage of freezer food. Storage time is
up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time
should not be exceeded. Follow package or container instructions for proper
food storage.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
• The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive frost buildup. Be
sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4" thick.
• Wipe containers dry and close containers tightly before storing to avoid
needless spills.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This will
prevent unnecessary energy use.
• When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in
packages that do not allow the flow of air or moisture in or out. Improper
storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of
the improperly packaged food.
• Packaging recommendations:
Plastic containers with airtight lids
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the
refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Proper Freezer Care and Cleaning
Warning! To avoid electric shock, always unplug your freezer before
cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Caution! Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General Cleaning
• Turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position. Unplug the freezer.
Remove the food storage basket.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with a
quart of warm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth dampened with the cleaning
solution to wipe down your freezer.
• The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with a mild detergent and
warm water.
• Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
• Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution and rinse well.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of the
chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your freezer.
• It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help
keep the unit odor free and running efficiently.
Door Gasket
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean and pliable to keep the unit
running efficiently and to ensure a proper seal.
• Clean the door gaskets every three months according to the General Cleaning
instructions above.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of the gaskets will keep the
gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
Power Interruptions
• Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other
causes. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet when a power outage
occurs. Once power has been restored, re-plug the power cord back into the
AC outlet. If the outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled
or thawed food in the freezer. Clean the freezer before reusing.
English
11
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from the freezer and turn the
temperature control knob to the OFF position. Unplug the freezer. Clean the
interior and exterior, including the door gaskets, according to the General
Cleaning instructions above. Prop the doors open so that air can circulate
inside, and to avoid the possible formation of condensation, mold and odors.
• When moving, remove all food from the freezer; turn the temperature control
knob to the OFF position. Unplug the freezer. Securely tape down all loose
items inside your freezer and tape the doors shut. Be sure to move the freezer
in the upright position. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage
to the sealed system may occur.
Energy Saving Tips
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the freezer. This cuts down on frost buildup inside the freezer.
• The freezer basket should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer
less efficient.
• 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.
Troubleshooting
Freezer does not operate
• Check that the thermostat control is not in the OFF position.
• Check if the freezer is plugged in.
• Check if there is power at the AC outlet by checking the circuit breaker.
• Wait for 30-40 minutes to see whether the freezer will start. The compressor
cycle must be complete to operate.
Food appears to be too warm
• The door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently.
• Allow time for recently added warm food to reach freezer temperature.
It is best to allow food to cool before placing in the freezer.
• Check the door gaskets for a proper seal.
• Check to see if the door is completely closed.
• The temperature control is set too warm. Adjust the temperature control knob to
a colder setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
• A large amount of warm or hot food might have been stored recently.
Wait until the freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
• The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time.
Four hours are required for the freezer to cool down completely.
Food temperature is too cold
• If the temperature control setting is too cold, adjust to a warmer setting and
allow several hours for the temperature to adjust.
• The Fast Freeze switch is turned on. This causes continuous running of
the compressor and bypasses the temperature control. Turn off the Fast
Freeze switch.
Compressor turns on and off frequently
• This may be normal to maintain a constant temperature during high room
temperature and humid days.
• A large amount of food has been added to the freezer.
• Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
• Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
• Check to see if the door is completely closed.
• Check the freezer compartment for blockage from frozen food packages,
containers, etc.
• The freezer does not have the correct clearances on either side for proper
air circulation.
• The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are
required for the freezer to cool down completely.

Moisture forms on the inside of the freezer walls
• Weather is hot and humid, which increases the internal rate of frost buildup.
This is normal.
• The door is slightly open.
• Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
• Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
Moisture forms on the outside of the freezer
• The freezer door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the freezer to
meet warm air from the outside.
The door will not close properly
• The freezer is not level.
• The gasket is dirty. Follow instructions in the “Proper Freezer Care and
Cleaning” section.
• The storage basket is out of position.
Popping or cracking sound when the compressor comes on
• This is normal. Metal components (e.g. hot water pipes) undergo expansion
and contraction. The sound will level off or disappear as the freezer continues
to run.
Vibrations
• Check to ensure that the freezer is level.
• The floor may be uneven or weak. The freezer rocks on the floor when it is
moved slightly. Be sure the floor can adequately support the freezer. Level the
freezer by putting wood or metal shims under part of the freezer.
• The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the freezer and move it away from the
wall. See the “Installing Your Freezer” section.
Freezer has an odor
• The interior of the freezer needs cleaning.
• Foods that were improperly wrapped or sealed are giving off odors.

de 45 degres. Si non ceci pourra endommager votre compresseur et le
systeme scelle.
• Si le congelateur a ete incline sur un angle de plus de 45degres, gardez le
dans une position verticale pour 24 heures minimum avant de le brancher.
Ceci permettra au refrigerant de se deposer et reduire la possibilite d’un defaut
de fonctionnement dans le systeme de refroidissement.
• Branchez le congelateur sur une sortie electrique exclue, installee proprement.
Ne coupez dans n’importe quelle circonstance la troisieme fourche du cordon
du secteur. Si vous avez des questions concernant la puissance et /ou la mise
a terre, priere de consulter un electricien certifie ou une personne authorise du
service de reparation.
• Apres avoir branche le congelateur sur la sortie electrique, permettez a l’unite
de refroidir pendant 2-3 heures avant de placer la nourriture dedans.
Limitations relatives a l’Installation
• Ne placez pas le congelateur dans un endroit qui n’est proprement isole
ou chauffe, (comme par exemple un gargage etc..) Votre congelateur n’est
pas concu pour fonctionner a des temperatures inferieures a 55 degres F.
Une temperature ambiante trop froide peut causer au congelateur une
fonction impropre.
• Choisissez un endroit convenable et placez le refrigerateur sur une surface
solide et plane, loin des rayons de soleil et des sources de chaleur (telles
que les radiateurs, les elements de chauffage a plinthes, les cuisinieres etc…)
