Before Using the Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Locate the appliance 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. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.

• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Installing the Freezer

• The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free-standing installation for indoor use. If built-in, the unit can be installed under the counter in a 24-inch-wide opening.

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the leveling legs.

• For free standing installation, 4 inches (102mm) of space at the top, back and sides of the unit are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, you should provide the following clearances to ensure the best operation and proper ventilation: at least 3/16” on both sides, 2” at the rear and 1/16” at the top. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.

• NOTE: Do not install this appliance in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F (7°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly 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.

• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2 to 3 hours before placing items inside the cabinet. Electrical Connection

Turning the Freezer On and Off The freezer turns on automatically when the power cord is plugged into a 120V AC, 60Hz electrical outlet. Similarly, it is turned off by disconnecting the power cord. Setting the Temperature Control The internal temperature of this freezer is controlled by an EVK 201 digital thermostat located below the door, on the right side of the grille panel. If you find it necessary to change the temperature setting for your digital thermostat-controlled appliance, please refer to the following instructions. The front panel of the thermostat is illustrated here: During normal operation, the display shows the internal cabinet temperature, which is measured by a probe set onto the interior wall of the cabinet. To see the SET POINT: The temperature at which the freezer is set to operate is called the set point. To see what this temperature is, push and immediately release the set key. The snowflake-shaped LED will flash and the display will show the set point value. Wait 15 seconds and the inside temperature will display again. To change the SET POINT: Push set and within 15 seconds, press the or key until the desired set point is shown on the display. The new setting will be memorized after 15 seconds provided no other keys are pushed, or you can press the set key immediately.

1. The minimum and maximum limits of the temperature range of your

thermostat are preset and locked by us. That range is -5°F to 10°F. To reset this range, either call us or find information on our website under Troubleshooting.

2. If the freezer 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 freezer will not start.

• Turn off the power by unplugging the appliance, and remove all items, including shelves.

• Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water).

• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area where the controls are located, or any electrical parts.

• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

• If appropriate, use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door and handle. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on stainless steel. CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance during cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury

Power Failure Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents.9 Vacation Time

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Moving Your Appliance

1. Remove all items.

2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.

3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.

4. Tape the door shut.

5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during

transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item. Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.

• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.

• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.

• Let hot items cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.

• Be sure to wrap items to be stored properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.

• Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.

• Organize and label stored items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.10 TROUBLESHOOTING You can solve many common problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call.
