3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Freezer ▪ ▪

Remove the exterior and interior packing. Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Freezer location When selecting a position for your appliance, you should make sure that the floor is level and firm, and that the room is well ventilated. An average ambient temperature must be observed. This temperature is specific according to the climatic class of the device. This refrigeration appliance is intended for use in ambient temperatures between 16°C and 38°C.

Installing Your 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 9 cm of space between the back and 20cm between sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level. ▪ 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. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation. ▪ Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas. ▪ Plug the freezer into dedicated, 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. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter. ▪ After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours under before placing food in the freezer compartment. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. 4. OPERATING YOUR FREEZER Temperature Control Appliance thermostat has 7 settings. The appliance assures that temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and that it is used in normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance can be influenced by many factors : ambient temperature, sun exposure, number of door opening and amount of food stored… The slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal.

1: The appliance is running: the green light indicates that the compressor is working 2: The thermostat adjusts the temperature inside the device • • • • • •

Settings 0 : Device OFF Settings 1 : Freezer compartment average temperature -8 to -12°C Settings 2-3 : Freezer compartment average temperature -12 to -15°C Settings 4 : Freezer compartment average temperature -15 to -18°C Settings 5-6 : Freezer compartment average temperature -18 to -20°C Settings 7 : Freezer compartment average temperature -20 to -24°C NOTE: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Turning the temperature control to "0" 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 5 to 10 mm thick. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.

CAUTION: 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. ▪

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 Supply light should be off (green light out). 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. Reset the thermostat to desired setting. Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour. Return food to the freezer.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper- please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty. 5. FOOD CONSERVATION The storage of foodstuffs must comply with the regulatory conservation temperatures established by the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES). Failure to comply with these storage temperatures involves risks of poisoning and food waste. Food preservation and storage. Under the recommended setting, the best shelf life is no more than 3 days in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer (4 stars); The better storage time may reduce other parameters.

Failure to comply with these storage temperatures involves risks of poisoning and food waste. For optimal conservation of foodstuffs, it is recommended to adjust the temperatures of the compartments as below:

FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD Your appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its core temperature rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer. Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen. PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important to observe some simple hygiene rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before you touch the food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using them again. Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food Freezing Guide" to know which products you can freeze and how long you can keep them. Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve their color, smell, taste and vitamins: plunge them in boiling water for few moments. Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to one meal each. Small portions freeze quicker at their core. Pack the food hermetically so that they do not lose their flavor or dry up. Use plastic bags, polyethylene film, aluminum foil or special freezer containers for this. If you are using plastic

bags, compress them to eliminate the air before sealing them hermetically. Note on each package: -The freezing date -The consume-by date -The type of food contained -The number of portions contained If you are purchasing deep-frozen food, pick it up last when you are shopping. Check that: - The packaging isn't damaged - They are not covered in a layer of frost (which means that they have partially defrosted). Pack them in an isotherm bag or in newspaper. Transport them quickly and store them immediately. Comply with the maximum storage dates shown on the pack. Your appliance has a **** freezer compartment, this enables you to keep deep-frozen food in an optimal manner. ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up. The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the information plate (inside your appliance near the bottom of the left-hand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/ FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)". DEFROSTING FOOD You can defrost food in five different ways: - By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for several hours - By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature - In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C) - In a microwave oven - By cooking them immediately Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method. Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first. We advise not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature and you risk frostbite. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen food with wet hands; your skin may stick to the food. We recommend that you only defrost food for immediate use. 6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Freezer ▪ ▪ ▪

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly. Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and storage basket. Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the storage basket with a mild detergent solution.

Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently. The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty. It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor free and running efficiently.

Vacation Time ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Remove all the food. Unplug the freezer. Clean the freezer. Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors. ▪ Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play. Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed. Moving Your Freezer ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Unplug the freezer. Remove all the food. Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer. Remove the rollers to prevent damage. Tape the doors shut. Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips ▪ ▪

The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE You can solve many common freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling for service.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Freezer does not operate.

Not plugged in. The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.

Compressor turns on and off frequently.

The room temperature is hotter than normal. A large amount of food has been added to the freezer. The door is opened too often. The door is not closed completely. The temperature control is not set correctly. The door gasket does not seal properly. The freezer does not have the correct clearances. The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. 4 hours are required for the freezer to cool down completely. Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the control to a cooler setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. The door is not closed completely. The door gasket does not seal properly. A large amount of warm or hot food might have been stored recently. Wait until the freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature. The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. 4 hours are required for the freezer to cool down completely.

Temperature inside the freezer is too warm.

Temperature inside the freezer is too cold. Temperature of external freezer surface is warm. Popping or cracking sound when compressor comes on. Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling.

Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Check to assure that the freezer is on a level surface. Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by putting wood or metal shims under part of the freezer. The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the freezer and move it from the wall. See “Installation Instructions”. Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal. Door is slightly open. Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often. The door is not sealed properly.

Moisture forms on inside freezer walls. Moisture forms on outside of freezer. The door will not close properly.

The exterior freezer walls can be as much as 30F warmer than room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run.

Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating throughout the system. This is normal.

Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside. The freezer is not on a level surface. The gasket is dirty. The storage basket is out of position.
