Locate the unit 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 refrigerator- freezer not to perform properly.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do
•
not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should
be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED
BY AN AUTHORIZED PRODUCTS SERVICE CENTER.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three
prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from
the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground
outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong
wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling
to prevent accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits
that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by
pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful
not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However,
if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-
Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least
10 amperes.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These
boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to
power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for
all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must
have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you
have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact
a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect
and will void your product warranty.

CHEST FREEZER
OPERATION
CUATION: DO NOT USE BOILING WATER BECAUSE IT MAY DAMAGE THE PLASTIC
PARTS. IN ADDITION, NEVER USE A SHARP OR METALLIC INSTRUMENT
TO REMOVE FROST AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE COOLING COILS AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY. WE RECOMMEND USING THE PLASTIC SCRAPER
PROVIDED WITH YOUR UNIT.
NOTE:
IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, YOU
MUST WAIT 3 TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT. IF YOU
ATTEMPT TO RESTART BEFORE THIS TIME DELAY, THE REFRIGERATOR-
FREEZER WILL NOT START.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
To control the internal temperature, adjust the control dials according to the
•
ambient temperature or purpose of use.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to "7".
•
The range of the temperature control is from position "1" the warmest
•
to "7" the coldest in the freezer section. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of
"4" should be correct for home or office refrigerator use.
Turning the temperature control to "OFF " position stops the cooling cycle
•
but does not shut off the power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5
•
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time
delay, the freezer will not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by
•
one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to
stabilize between adjustments.
DEFROSTING YOUR FREEZER
When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption,
•
defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to
½ inch thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
•
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in a cooler to protect
•
the food.
Turn the thermostat knob to "OFF".
•
Unplug the freezer. The "POWER ON INDICATOR" light should be OFF.
•
During defrosting, the ice melts into the cabinet.
•
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight
•
out.
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet. The defrost water will drain out.
•
Check the pan occasionally so the water does not overflow.
•
Clean the interior of the freezer.
•
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
•
Reconnect electrical connection. The "POWER ON INDICATOR" light should
•
be ON
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
