PARTS & ASSEMBLY

Your UPRIGHT FREEZER requires no assembly. Before using, remove all packing materials from the inside of the freezer, and peel off the protective film on the outside of the freezer. Check the freezer for any damage, such as misaligned or bent doors, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches, and dents inside the freezer or on the door. If there is any damage, DO NOT use the freezer. Return the damaged item to the store where it was purchased.

HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, remove all adhesive tape from the drawers, shelves, and trays.

INSTALLATION

1. The freezer should be placed on a completely flat surface. Allow 1 foot of space on each side of the freezer and between the freezer and the wall. Also, allow at least 8 inches of space between the top of the freezer and the ceiling.
2. Choose a location for your freezer that is not exposed to sunlight, high temperature, or humidity, as humidity may stain and damage the freezer.
3. The appliance can be adjusted by rolling the two legs in the bottom front of the freezer if it becomes unstable. Raise the freezer by rolling the adjustable feet clockwise.
4. The surface of the location where the freezer is installed should be firm and flat. If the freezer is not secured in a proper location, noise and vibration may occur. The noise may be increased if the floor is not firm. If you have to position the freezer on a carpeted floor, place a sheet underneath the freezer, such as plywood or a plastic mat, to prevent heat emissions from ruining the carpet.
5. Make sure that legs are pressed firmly into the floor and allow the freezer to lean backward slightly so that the doors remain closed.

DOOR ALIGNMENT

1. Remove the top hinge cover using a flathead screwdriver. Gently lift from the rear of the hinge and slide forward.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and then tighten the screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover by aligning the rear of the cover with the rear of the hinge. Press firmly on the front of the cover until it snaps into place.

PLACEMENT OF FOOD

1. There should always be some space between items inside for air circulation.
2. Food should be kept in sealed containers to avoid becoming dry, spoiled, or creating odors in the freezer.
3. Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance. Otherwise, bacteria will grow in food.
4. Reducing the frequency of opening the doors can lower electronic consumption. NOTE: Do not use any electronic equipment inside the appliance.

ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
The temperature of the freezer can be controlled manually by the thermostat dial. As a general rule, it is best to set the thermostat at 2.

DEFROSTING

Heavy frost will affect the efficiency and performance of the freezer and can create increased energy consumption. If the frost inside of the freezer gets as thick as ¼ inch, you must defrost the freezer. Follow these steps to defrost the freezer:

1. Turn the unit off.
2. Remove all food from the freezer.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Open the doors and wait for the appliance to thaw completely.
5. Clean up the water with dry towels.
   NOTE: DO NOT use any other equipment or method to force the defrost process. It may ruin the cooling system

PACKING AND MOVINGSave packing materials if possible and remember how materials are packed in the box. Repack the freezer and accessories carefully. DO NOT lift or pull the doors or door handles during transportation. When moving, do not tilt the appliance more than 45 degrees. Be very careful not to bump the freezer into anything. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging into the electrical outlet.

HELPFUL TIPS

The freezer does not work.
It may not be properly connected to the power supply, or the voltage may be too low.

The freezer does not work as efficiently as expected.
It may be caused by heavy frost, the temperature setting being too warm, or by frequently opening and closing the door.

It makes strange noises.
The noises may be caused by the freezer not being stabilized. Make sure the surface that the freezer is on is flat and firm. Noise can also be caused by resonation between the freezer and objects near it.

The compressor keeps working for a long period of time.
The temperature may be too high. This can also be caused by the frequent opening and closing of the doors, or by the door being left open. Try moving the temperature setting closer to MIN.

The inside of the freezer has a bad odor.
Make sure to regularly clean out your freezer and make sure that you do not leave spoiled food in the freezer.

Heavy frost occurs on the back of the appliance.
Putting humid or hot food into the freezer may cause this problem.  DO NOT place objects on top of the freezer that are magnetic, heavy, or filled with water. Electronic components may not work properly if water gets inside. DO NOT store valuables or objects sensitive to temperature inside the freezer.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

To prolong the life of your UPRIGHT FREEZER, please follow these simple instructions for maintenance. For your safety, pull the plug from the socket before cleaning.

Interior Maintenance
Clean the interior of the appliance with clean, soapy water. Wipe dry with a non-abrasive cloth or towel.

Outer Maintenance
Wipe the outside of the freezer with a dry, non-abrasive cloth or towel.

Door Gasket
To clean gaskets and to avoid damage, clean them with water only. If you should spill liquid/food on them clean off right away.
