Your Chest Freezer
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• This compartment is designed for the
long-term storage of frozen food. Storage
time is up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and
the recommended storage time should not
be exceeded. The instructions regarding
the care of frozen foods should be followed
when defrosting the freezer.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance with the
frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions
for a three star frozen food storage
compartment or home freezer.
• 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. The freezer door is susceptible to
breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be
sure to defrost when the ice reaches 5 to
10 mm thick.
• A storage basket is provided for the
organization of odd-shaped items. To
reach other packages in the freezer, just
slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
Installation Instructions
BEFORE USING YOUR CHEST FREEZER…
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the
following parts:
• 1 Storage Basket
• 1 Instruction Manual
• 1 Plastic Scraper
• Before connecting the freezer to the
power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm
water using a soft cloth.
INSTALLING YOUR CHEST FREEZER
• This appliance is designed to be free
standing only, and should not be recessed
or built-in.
• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong
enough to support the freezer when it is
fully loaded.
• Allow 15 cm of space between the back
and sides of the freezer, which allows the
proper air circulation.
• Locate the freezer away from direct
sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may
affect the acrylic coating and heat sources
may increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may
also cause the freezer not to perform
properly.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
• Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly
installed-grounded wall outlet.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall
outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2~3
hours before placing food in the freezer
compartment.
