Installation
Location
Points to consider when locating your freezer:
1. Locate the freezer in such a manner that
extension cords are not necessary.
2. Due to lid and hinge arrangement, it is
impossible to install freezer directly against
the wall. The spacing on the back is essential
for maintaining proper air circulation around
the freezer.
3. Select a location with reasonable year round
temperatures. Do not operate freezer when
surrounding air temperature is below 0°C.
However, it will not harm freezer to stand in
any temperature below 0°C provided the
temperature control is set to avoid running the
unit. In order to keep operating cost down, do
not place freezer near a stove, furnace, heat
register or in direct sunlight. If the place
selected for your freezer is damp or moist, as
in basements, place freezer on wooden
blocks. (2 or 3 2 x 4’s under entire length will
assure adequate support).
Operation
Starting the Freezer
The freezer is ready to operate as received when
connected to the power supply. After starting,
close lid and allow freezer to operate. The unit
will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer,
depending on conditions) before operating
temperature is reached. It will then start and
stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is
recommended that food should not be placed in
freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating
regularly and no final adjustments are necessary.
Once your freezer is starting and stopping
(cycles) regularly, it is ready to freeze and store
foods. The proper food storage temperature is
-18°C (0°F). Do not operate freezer at
temperatures below -19°C (-3°F), since it does
not improve food preservation and only results in
longer unit (cycle) running time. It is not
advisable to freeze more than 25 kg. (50 lbs.) of
food in a freezer in any 24 hour period. It will
take 15 or more hours of unit running time to
freeze this amount of food. When adding fresh,
unfrozen food packages, store them against the
walls of the freezer.
In view of the value of the contents of your
freezer, it is advisable to inspect contents and
operation regularly.
ATTENTION
ELECTRICAL RATING
The “serial rating plate” indicates the voltage
and frequency the freezer is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage
(caused by overloading of circuits), it is
advisable to install a separate fuse circuit
from the meter panel. This will help to
eliminate current fluctuation which might
cause motor trouble.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical
current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect
your freezer to extension cords or together
with any other appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the cord.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children. Remove either the
gasket or lid from unused appliances, or take
some other action that will guarantee
it harmless.
DON’T WAIT DO IT NOW!
