• 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 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.
4. There are four casters in the caster kit. The pair of
casters to be used in the rear, do not have brakes.
Place one of these casters over one of the bolts in
the rear. Place one of the locking nuts on the bolt
to retain the caster. Tighten securely. Repeat to
install the other rear caster.
• 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.
5. Remove the two 3/8" hex head screws located in
the upper corners of the base panel.Set the base
panel aside.
6. To install the front casters, first put two short bolts
through the rear (non-brake) side of the caster.
Hold the bolts loosely in place by threading several
turns each on the locking nuts. Hold the caster in
position, insert the bolt heads into the base slots,
and slide them back (A). Insert the two front bolts
from the top, and secure with locking nuts (B).
Tighten all locking nuts securely.

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
Shelves
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
(Figure 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,
then click loudly at the end of the cycle (Figure B).

after the first defrost cycle.
The appliance is provided with 4 shelves. One goes on
the floor of the cabinet and the other 3 are placed in
the metal side supports wherever they are needed. The
shallow shelf goes in the upper position.
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 again12 hours later at 10:00 p.m.

Interior Light
Swivel Casters
• The appliance is equipped with a 17 watt
fluorescent lamp. A ballast - lamp mismatch may
result in poor or no performance.
The appliance comes with 2 swivel casters and 2
nonswivel casters (with brakes). The casters allow the
appliance to be moved with ease, and then locked into
place upon final destination. (Refer to page 4 for
instructions.)
• If lamp goes bad, replace with lamp of same type
and wattage. Also, replace a lamp that flickers
continuously. This could damage the ballast.
Adjustable Temperature Control
The adjustable thermostat control is located on the top
left panel inside the unit.
• Turning lights off, when not in use, will save energy.
However, frequent ON-OFF cycling will reduce the
lamp life.
• Use an NSF certified lamp (216659500), which can
be ordered from your Arctic Air Service Center by
calling 1-800-490-9574.
Routine Maintenance
Cleaning the Interior

Energy Conservation Measures
The 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:
1. Do not operate the appliance any colder than
necessary to maintain safe, product storage
temperatures.
2. Make sure the appliance is located to prevent
direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc.
3. Keep the door closed except for normal use.
Inspect the door often to see that it self-closes and
the gasket is in good condition.
4. Do not overstock the product in the cabinet
because it will block the normal air flow.
5. Have at least annual inspections by a qualified
service company to see that the fan motor is
functioning properly and that the refrigerant
charge is correct.
