Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate
properly.
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must
be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong
receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with
the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are
NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, appliance
performance may be affected. Operating the appliance with
insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is
high or low, consult your power company for testing.
To prevent the appliance from being turned off accidentally,
do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch
or pull cord.
DO NOT pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Other Precautions
NEVER unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.
To avoid electrical shock, unplug the appliance before
cleaning.
NOTE: Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the compressor
but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.
Installation and Setup
Inspection for Damage
Inspect the underside of the cabinet and packaging for damage
such as a fork truck can cause. If hidden damage is found after
uncrating, immediately call the delivery carrier and request an
inspection. Retain all packaging and crating materials until the
inspection is complete.
Uncrating and Set-up
Using a utility knife with a sharp, short blade, cut along the
perimeter of the carton as indicated.
Lift the carton off the product.
Remove the package containing the casters from the unit. This
package will contain the following items:
One (1) wrench
Sixteen (16) screws
Four (4) casters
Casters
With an assistant, tilt the unit until it is resting on its back. Take
care to protect the back from being scratched during this
process.
Using the wrench provided and the sixteen (16) screws, install
all four (4) casters in the tapped holes in the bottom of the
unit. Tighten the screws securely.
With an assistant, tilt the unit back up onto its casters.
To prevent unintended movement, block casters once the unit
is in place.
Appliance Placement
Leave a three (3) inch space on all sides and the back of the
cabinet for adequate air circulation. Choose a place that is near
a grounded electrical outlet. For the most efficient operation,
the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures
will not drop below 40ºF (43ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC).
Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
Insulation
The insulated space on this cabinet is sealed to maintain peak
efficiency. DO NOT drill holes in the cabinet. Holes drilled in the
cabinet may destroy that seal and damage electrical wiring
located in the insulated space. It may also pierce and damage
the sealed refrigeration system in the insulated space.
DAMAGED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR WET INSULATION
CAUSED BY DRILLING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension cord
or an adapter plug. Do not remove any
prong from the power cord.

Glass Lid (Glass Lid Models)
There are two (2) glass lids, a smaller one that fits in the lower
track of the ice cream freezer and a larger one that fits in the
upper track. The lower track has two (2) round retaining studs
and the upper has four (4) round retaining studs
Install the lower glass first. Again, the lower glass is the smaller
of the two. It has a flexible vinyl seal and a lock plate. The
flexible seal should be facing up and positioned on the end
away from the two round retaining studs. Place the panel in
the center and slide along the lower track until it is secure
under the two retaining studs.
Place the upper glass panel over the lower glass panel already
in place. Slide it over the lower lid past the flexible seal. You
will notice a slight resistance with the lower lid gasket. Slide
the upper panel under the four studs on the upper track of the
frame.
When properly installed, there is a seal formed by the flexible
vinyl seal between the two glass lids.
Appliance Start-up
Once the appliance has been located in its permanent location
and the proper power and grounding has been provided, the
following items must be checked or completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the appliance to cool
down completely before loading with food. The appliance will
run continuously for the first several hours. Do not place any
food in the appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the thermostat
set at about the mid-point of the operating range. Adjustments
colder or warmer can be made after the appliance has been
running for at least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before re-adjusting the thermostat.
Features
Interior Lighting (Some Chest Freezer Models)
The light comes on automatically when the lid is opened. To
replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to “OFF” and
UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD. Replace the old bulb with
a bulb of the same type and wattage.
Four (4) Swivel Casters
The freezer comes with four (4) swivel casters. The casters allow
the appliance to be moved with ease. Refer to the Installation
and Setup section for caster installation instructions.
Commercial Grade Basket
The NSF certified basket helps organize odd-shaped items. To
reach other packages in the freezer, slide the basket aside or lift
out.
Security Lock
This security lock fastens the lid snugly, ensuring that stored
food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, slide the key into
the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it has been
turned.
5
Adjustable Temperature Control
The adjustable thermostat control is located on the left outside
wall of the unit.
Interior Thermometer
The appliance comes with an NSF certified thermometer to show
internal temperatures. The thermometer is attached to the plastic
interior lid panel on commercial chest freezers and on the wire
basket on ice cream freezers.
MaxFreeze Switch (Some Chest Models)
When the Max Freeze setting is activated, the LED on the rocker
switch will light up. This setting puts the compressor in a full-
time run mode and overrides the thermostatic control. This in
turn results in constant cooling of the freezer and provides the
fastest freezer cool down period.
In most conditions the MaxFreeze setting will maintain lower
freezer compartment temperatures than would the Normal
setting. The Normal setting can be used to save energy when
rapid cool down times aren’t needed or when constantly
maintaining the lowest temperature is not required.
To return the freezer back to normal operating mode, push the
switch to the normal position.
Routine Maintenance
Between Defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper
to remove frost. Scrape with pulling motion. NEVER use a metal
instrument to remove frost.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch
of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster
on the upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering
the freezer when the lid is opened. Remove food and leave the
lid open when defrosting the freezer.
To use the defrost drain, place a shallow pan beneath the drain
outlet (Figure 1). Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer, and
pull off the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 2). Defrost water
will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow.
Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If the frost
is glazed and hard, fill deep pans with hot water and place them
on the freezer bottom. Close the freezer lid. Frost should soften
in about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary.
Cleaning
After defrosting, wash inside and outside surfaces of the freezer
with a solution of two (2) tablespoons of baking soda in one (1)
quart (1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess
water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the
controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution
mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and
dry. NEVER use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive
cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. DO NOT wash
removable parts in a dishwasher. Replace parts and food.
POWER FAILURE
DO NOT open the freezer lid unnecessarily if the freezer is
off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice
into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under
“Dry Ice”, “Dairies”, or “Ice Cream Manufacturers” for local dry
ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling
dry ice.

Energy Conservation Measures
This appliance is designed for efficiency with heavy foam
insulation. However, there are things that the user can do to
maintain the appliance in operating condition.
Do not operate the appliance any colder than necessary to
maintain safe, product storage temperatures.
Make sure the appliance is located to prevent direct exposure
to sunlight, air ducts, etc.
Keep the lid closed except for normal use. Inspect the lid often
to see that it self-closes and the gaskets are in good condition.
Do not overstock the product in the cabinet because it will
block the normal air flow. See illustration below.
Have at least annual inspections by a qualified service
company to see that the refrigerant charge is correct.
This appliance operates more efficiently in a cooler ambient
than in a hot ambient. Try to maintain an ambient below 80ºF
(27ºC) and 65% RH (Relative Humidity) for maximum efficiency.
5”
Periods of Non-use and Moving Tips
Leave the freezer operating during periods of non-use of less
than three (3) weeks.
Long Periods of Non-use
If the freezer will not be used for several months:
Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the freezer lid open slightly, blocking it open if necessary,
to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving
When moving the freezer, follow these guidelines to prevent
damage:
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and
shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position to
prevent movement. Also, protect outside of freezer with a
blanket or similar item.
