– Dust collected on condenser coil will cause unit to malfunction.
– Malfunction due to dirty condenser will void warranty. - Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment

Electrical
- Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or high voltage can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit.
- All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the nameplate.
- Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Temperature Control
The recommended setting for the freezer is at position “4”. If fast freezing is needed for products, set at position “7”. Turn knob to its original position when the articles are frozen. Do not fast freeze for more than 4-5 hours. To decrease the temperature (colder), turn towards position “7”. To increase the temperature (warmer), turn towards position “1”
CAUTION
Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice up. This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet temperature.
Defrost System
If the frost on the interior walls is more than 1/4”, defrosting should be done. Method of defrosting: 1) Unplug the unit. Remove all contents of the freezer. After the freezer temperature rises, frost will melt or scale off. 2) To speed up defrosting, place a pan of hot water
into the unit and close the door. After defrosting, drain the water and then use a soft cloth to dry the interior walls. Plug unit in and resume operation. Wait until unit reaches desired temperature before returning product to the freezer.
Note: Never use sharp utensils or ice scrapers to scrape off frost
Regular Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
The freezer should be cleaned periodically; generally clean it every 30-45 days. Unplug before cleaning, and use a soft cloth with a solution of warm water and mild soap to scrub inside and outside of the cabinet. Do not use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline or benzene for cleaning any part of the chest freezer. Dry it with a soft cloth. Never use water to rinse the freezer.
