compressor and freezer system. If
the freezer is tilted over 45 , or has
been stored on its side, allow the
freezer to stand upright for at least
24' hours prior to plugging it back
in, this will allow the refrigerant to
settle.
Refrigerate: When dial is near the "1"
position, the interior average

a
well-
ventilated area away from any
heat source or direct sunlight. Air
must be allowed to circulate freely
around the freezer.Allow at least 3
inches (7.5 cm) of clearance
spacefor the top, back and sides.
When you change the dial from
refrigerate function to freeze function,
the food in the freezer should be taken
out to avoid freeze.
5) Install the freezer in a dry place

circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical
current. This appliance is fitted
with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. This
plug must be plugged in to an
outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded.
The temperature control dial has
settings from "1"-"7". Where "1" is the
warmest and "7" is the coldest
temperature setting. Turn the control
knob to higher numbers for colder
temperatures.
During extremely hot weather and
frequent lid opening, it is advisable to
select a higher setting to ensure that
food remainsfrozen.

service centre if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood or if any doubt exist as
to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Initially, set the temperature control
knob to the "5" setting by turning the
knob in a clock wise direction. After 30
minutes, you should notice an obvious
decrease in the interior temperature of
the freezer.
