OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps.
• Set the temperature on the temperature control knob, “I” being the warmest and “III” being the
coldest. Initially set the temperature on “II”. Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on
indicating that the freezer is in operation). After using the freezer for 24 hours, set the freezer to your
desired setting.
• In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 minutes before plugging
it back in.
ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE DIAL
• Your freezer will automatically maintain the
temperature level you select. The temperature
control dial has 7 settings plus OFF. “1” is the
warmest, “7” is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF
stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “4” and
allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the
temperature to your needs.
(Note: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal
or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24 hours
before plugging the unit in.)
FOOD STORAGE BASKET
• The removable basket allows you to store food
more accessibly or you can remove it if not needed.

DEFROSTING AND DRAINING THE FREEZER
• Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4 in. thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to
remove the frost as it may damage the cooling coils. A punctured coil will void the warranty.
• Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the
inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the freezer door
open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial and rotate it so that the
arrow points downward. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the drain dial in
and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
FOOD STORAGE INFORMATION
• Wipe containers 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 which 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.
• Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
• Packaging recommendations:
• Plastic containers with air-tight lids
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic wrap
• 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.
