NOTE

Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off 

the compressor but does not disconnect power 

to the light bulb or other electrical components.

NOTE

The exterior walls of the unit may become quite 

warm as the compressor works to transfer heat 

from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F 

warmer than room temperature can be expected. 

For this reason it is particularly important in 

hotter climates to allow enough space for air 

circulation around your appliance.

NOTE

It is very important for your appliance to be 

level in order to function properly. If the unit 

is not leveled during installation, the door may 

be misaligned and not close or seal properly, 

causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

IMPORTANT SAFETY  

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Other Precautions

•  Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power 

cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull 

straight out from the receptacle.

•  To avoid electrical shock, unplug the appli-

ance before cleaning and before replacing a 

light bulb.

•  Do  not  operate  the  unit  in  the  presence  of               

explosive fumes.

Leveling  

The appliance must have all bottom corners 

resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be 

strong enough to support a fully loaded unit. 

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating 

instructions for your model. Use the unit only as 

instructed in this Use & Care Guide. 

Before starting 

the unit, follow these important first steps.

Cleaning

Wash any removable parts of the appliance interior 

and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. 

Wipe dry. 

DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON 

THESE SURFACES.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded  

electrical outlet. 

For the most efficient operation, the appliance 

should be located where surrounding 

temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). 

The Freeze Control Feature is designed to 

automatically maintain the selected interior 

temperature within these boundaries.
Allow space around the unit for good air 

circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all 

sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

To Level Your Appliance:

After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter’s 

level to level the unit from front-to-back. Adjust the 

plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so 

that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
