operation of your appliance. 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 40°F (5°C)
or exceed 110°F (43°C). Additional compressor heaters
are not recommended.
Insulation
The insulated space of this cabinet is sealed to maintain
peak efficiency. Holes drilled in the cabinet may destroy
that seal and damage electrical wiring located in the
insulated space.
DAMANGED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR WET
INSULATION CAUSED BY DRILLING WILL VOID THE

Appliance Start-up
Fig. A (Rear of unit)
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.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost automatically every
12 hours. To set the time of defrost wait until the desired
time to defrost. With the notch on the timer knob aligned
with the line on the bracket (Fig. A), turn the defrost
timer knob clockwise slowly. The timer will click several
times, then once loudly, at which point the defrost cycle
begins. The timer knob will advance through the defrost
cycle, than click loudly at the end of the cycle. The
appliance will defrost automatically every 12 hours after
the first defrost cycle.
For example, to set the appliance to defrost at 10:00
a.m., turn the timer knob clockwise at 10:00 a.m. until
the timer clicks loudly. The appliance will defrost daily at
10:00 a.m. and again 12 hours later at 10:00 p.m. Note:
The product interior temperature will rise during the
defrost cycle every 12 hours.
