 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.
