Frequently Asked Questions - NFT070GN00 NewAir

How do I set the temperature on my NewAir NFT070GN00 freezer?

Turn the thermostat dial inside the freezer. The higher the number, the colder the temperature. Recommended setting is 3 or 4 for normal use.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when frost buildup exceeds 1/4 inch (6 mm). This typically occurs every 6 to 12 months depending on usage and humidity.

What should I do if the freezer stops working?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the thermostat is not set to 'Off'. If still not cooling, contact NewAir support.

Can I store frozen food immediately after plugging in?

Wait at least 24 hours for the freezer to reach the set temperature before storing frozen food. For best results, allow 4-6 hours before adding items.

How do I clean the freezer interior?

Unplug the freezer, remove all food and shelves. Wipe with a mixture of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before restarting.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of my freezer?

This is normal during defrosting or if the drain plug is loose. Clean the drain hole and ensure the plug is secure. Excessive water may indicate a clogged drain.

What is the recommended clearance around the freezer?

Leave at least 5 inches (13 cm) of space on all sides for proper ventilation. Do not place the freezer in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

Can I use an extension cord with the freezer?

No, do not use an extension cord. Plug the freezer directly into a grounded outlet with the correct voltage (115 V). Extensions can cause overheating.

How do I lock and unlock the freezer?

Insert the key into the lock and turn clockwise to lock, counterclockwise to unlock. Always remove the key after locking to prevent accidental locking inside.

What should I do if the noise level seems high?

NewAir freezers operate quietly. If you hear unusual sounds, check that the freezer is level on the floor and not touching walls. Refrigerant flow may cause occasional gurgling, which is normal.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

• Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
• Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the freezer.

• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support It fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.

PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

• To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should Install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:

- Sides 4" (102mm)

- Back 4" (102mm)

- Top Do not block

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts. 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet to avoid shock hazard.

Install Limitations

• This freezer is designed to operate in temperature settings between 50^-109^ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source.

Disposal

• Disposal of this appliance should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
• This appliance should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your local waste removal agency or government office.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fast Freezing

• Initially set the temperature to 6.8^ F ( -14^ C) Place food inside the chest freezer. After using the chest freezer for 24 hours, set the chest freezer to your desired setting using ▲ and ▼ buttons.
• Press both ▲ and ▼ buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to lock and unlock control panel.
• The chest freezer has two temperature ranges: -15^ F (-26°C) to 6.8^ F (-14°C) and 32^ F (0°C) to 50^ F (10°C). If you increase the temperature past 6.8^ F (-14°C), it will automatically jump to 32^ F (0°C).
• When the compressor works continuously for 24 hours, it will stop automatically for 20 minutes before restarting again.
• In case you unplug your chest freezer or experience an electrical outage, the unit will start 5 minutes after it is plugged back in or power is recovered. This is to protect the compressor.

FAST FREEZE MODE

To activate Fast Freeze Mode: Press and hold for 3 seconds. The compressor will run for 24 hours and will stop after that period of time or when the inside temperature drops to -18.4^ (-28°C).

What is Fast Freeze Mode? Fast Freeze Mode reduces the time it takes to freeze large amounts of fresh, unfrozen food. The faster food is frozen, the better the quality will be when the food is thawed.

When do you need to activate Fast Freeze Mode? Depending on how much food you plan on freezing at once, you may need to activate Fast Freeze Mode. If you plan on freezing food between 4-ll lbs., we recommend you activate freeze mode as you load it in. For anything over 11lbs. we recommend you activate Fast Freeze Mode at least three hours before placing the food in the freezer. For smaller amounts of food (2 lbs. or under), it's not necessary to use Fast Freeze Mode, since any other temperature setting will be able to freeze your food fast enough while still maintaining its quality.

• 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.

FOOD STORAGE BASKET

Your freezer has a removable basket for accessible food storage, remove if not needed.

DEFROSTING AND DRAINING

• For most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4" thick. It is advisable to let ice and frost melt. Do not use boiling water as it may damage the unit.
• Remove frozen food from the freezer and place it in a refrigerator to protect the food when defrosting your freezer.
• Unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.
• For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Remove drain plug. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, cover the drain plug in place.
  Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
• When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth. Plug in power cord back into the electrical outlet.
• Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
• Return the food into the freezer.

FOOD STORAGE INFORMATION

Frozen Food:

• 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 made from saran film
○ Self-sealing plastic bags

- Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.

- It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.

These are some suggestions for safe storage:

PROPER FREEZER CARE AND CLEANING

Always clean freezer before reusing.

Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your freezer before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in serious injury.

General:

• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your freezer.
