IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential
hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will
follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the word ”DANGER” or
“WARNING”.
DANGER means that failure to heed this
safety statement may result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING means that failure to heed
this safety statement may result in
extensive product damage, serious
personal injury, or death.
Safety messages will alert you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance
of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the freezer, follow basic pre-
cautions, including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.
• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
• Unplug the freezer or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or death.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your freezer unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
2
• Use two or more people to move and install the freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your freezer, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60
°
F (16
°
C) and below
90
°
F (32
°
C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.
• The freezer should not be located next to ovens, radiators or other sources of high heat.
• The freezer must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local
codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the freezer.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
• It is important for the freezer to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make
several adjustments to level it.
• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the freezer.
• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR MEDICAL OR PHARMACEUTICAL USE ONLY. IT IS
NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A HOUSEHOLD FREEZER.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”
• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave
the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator/freezer.
THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR INFIRM
PERSONS UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE

Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
:
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
3 drawers
1 short drain tube
2 keys (VT65ML and ALF620L models only)
• CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at
least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the
compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and
the lifetime of your unit.
• Remove the drawers and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Freezer
• Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
:
• Unless the model numbers include the letters BI, these appliances are designed to be
free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built in. When installing, allow at
least 5 inches of space at the sides and top of the unit and 2 inches at the rear, which
will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
If your model has the letters BI in its model number, the appliance can be installed
either free-standing or built-in. If the unit will be built into an enclosure, you must still
allow at least 3/16” of clear space on both sides and at the top, and 2” at the back.
Take care that the air vents at the front are never covered or blocked in any way.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the
unit's performance.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to
form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.
• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or authorized service center.
Electrical Connection
:
7
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is
equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left
exposed or dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet having a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately any power cord that has
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to
damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

Operating Your Freezer
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the
freezer will not start.
Temperature Control for models VT65M, VT65ML, VT65MBI and VT65MLBI
• The temperature control is a dial-operated thermostat
located at the front of the freezer, in the upper right
corner above the door. When the freezer operates
automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by
the thermostat. Normally, the thermostat setting
should be in the middle, between max and min. (See
illustration.)
:
• We recommend thermostat settings closer to max
only in cases when you want to accelerate cooling
such as before loading a number of unfrozen items.
Settings closer to min help save energy, provided that the freezer is not overloaded.
• The super setting causes the compressor to run continuously and should be used
sparingly. This setting can be used when you want to freeze a large number of
unfrozen items or in case you want to deep-freeze already frozen items. The yellow
light next to the thermostat will be lit when the super setting is active. Remember to
turn the thermostat back to its normal setting after a short time.
• The stop setting halts the cooling process (the compressor turns off), but does not
turn off the freezer. To turn the appliance off completely, you must unplug it.
Modes of Operation for dial-thermostat models
• Automatic operation – the yellow light is on and off (with the compressor).
:
The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat, which turns the cooling
system on and off. The frequency of turning the cooling system on and off depends
on:
– the thermostat setting
– how often the door is opened, and
– ambient temperature.
• Continuous operation – the yellow light is on steady.
The super setting of the thermostat is active, and the cooling system operates
continuously, resulting in a quick freeze. Do not let the freezer operate under these
conditions for long periods of time.
• Temperature alert – the red light is on.
The red light (next to the thermostat) is on when there is a temperature-related
problem in the freezer. See Troubleshooting.
11
Switching on the Empty Freezer
Plug in the freezer and set the thermostat to the super position (continuous
operation). (The red and yellow control lights are on.) When the red light goes off,
set the thermostat for normal operation. Wait a couple of hours, then load the
freezer.
:
Freezing Procedure
To freeze larger amounts of unfrozen items (5 pounds or more), turn the thermostat
knob to super for continuous operation (yellow light is on). After an hour or so, turn
the thermostat down to its normal setting (yellow light goes off) and load the freezer.
After 24 hours, all items should be frozen.
:
NOTES:
1. Keep unfrozen items out of contact with frozen ones.
2. There is no need to set the thermostat for continuous operation (super) if you only
intend to freeze smaller quantities of fresh items (4 pounds or less).
Temperature Control for ADA models and models ALF620, ALF620BI,
ALF620L and ALFB621
The temperature inside these freezers is controlled by a digital thermostat located in the
kick plate at the front of the unit. Normally, the LED display shows the current
temperature inside the unit. Temperature readings are in degrees Celsius.
:
The preset temperature range of the thermostat is -10 to -25ºC * (14 to -13°F), and the
operating temperature is factory-set at -25ºC (-13°F). If you find that it is necessary to
change the temperature setting (Set Point) for your appliance, refer to the instructions
below.
The front panel of the digital thermostat is shown here:
To see the Set Point:
Push and immediately release the SET key. The display will show the Set Point
value. Wait 5 seconds and the interior temperature will display again.
To change the Set Point:
1. Push and hold the SET key for more than 3 seconds to change the Set Point
value. The value of the Set Point will be displayed.
2. Push the UP or DOWN arrow to the desired setting. The new setting will be
memorized after 15 seconds, provided no other keys are pushed.
* The maximum/minimum range of the digital thermostat (-10 to -25ºC) is preset and
locked by us. To reset this range lock, either call us at 800-932-4267 or find
information on our website under Troubleshooting.
12
Storing Frozen Items
Frozen items may be stored in the three drawers, or can be placed directly on the
cooling shelves if one or more of the drawers is removed.
:
Defrosting Your Freezer
For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer
when the frost on the freezer walls reaches 1/8 to 1/4 inch in thickness.
:
1. If your freezer has a manual thermostat, an hour or so before defrosting, set it to
super (yellow light will be on) so that the freezer contents are well-frozen. After that,
empty the freezer and take care that the items do not begin to thaw. If your unit has a
digital thermostat, just remove and store the contents before defrosting.
2. To start defrosting, unplug the freezer and remove the drawers.
3. Insert the enclosed tubing into the groove in the bottom of
the appliance and place a container underneath to collect
the defrost water. (See illustration.) Defrosting is
accelerated if the door is left open.
4. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting
ice from the freezer floor. After the frost or ice has melted,
dry the interior of the freezer thoroughly.
5. Restart the freezer by plugging it in and turning the
(manual) thermostat to the desired position. Once the freezer is cold, put back the
drawers and contents.
CAUTION
: Do not use boiling water or an electric device such as a hair dryer to help
speed up the defrosting because this could damage the plastic parts of the unit. In
addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage
the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
13
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Freezer:
CAUTION
1. Unplug the freezer and remove the frozen items and drawers.
: Failure to unplug the unit before cleaning can result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the drawers with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the
area of the temperature control or any electrical parts.
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner. (See illustration.)
7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply and return the drawers and frozen items back to their place.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If
the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your frozen items.
:
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all the contents of the freezer. Unplug the freezer, clean it
and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
:
Moving Your Freezer
1. Remove the contents of the freezer.
:
2. Securely tape down all loose items (e.g., drawers) inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips
• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
:
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
• Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind and in front of the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
• Before loading items into the unit, be sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• A layer of frost and ice increases energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as
soon as the layer is 1/8"-1/4" thick.
14
Troubleshooting
When using the freezer, you may come across some problems that in many cases result
from improper handling of the appliance and can easily be eliminated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
• Check whether the power supply is active and that the (manual) thermostat is not
set to the stop position.
The red light is on (manual thermostat), or unit is not cooling properly (digital
thermostat).
• The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag; the gasket may be dirty or
damaged).
• The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
• The appliance may have been overloaded with unfrozen items.
The compressor is running continuously.
• Set the (manual) thermostat from super to another setting.
• Increase the Set Point on the (digital) thermostat slightly.
• There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Assure
there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the
condenser.) The space in front of the front air vents must be clear.
The freezer door is hard to open.
If you try to open the door after it has just recently been closed, you may find it hard
to open. This is because, when you open the door, warm air gets into the
appliance and when it is cooling, lower interior pressure seals the door.
The door can be opened more easily by slightly pressing the gasket against the door
and pulling on the door.
After 5 to 10 minutes, the door can be opened easily.
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where
it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
• During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when
the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal
condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually
the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This
noise is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The freezer
should be placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the
wall or cabinets standing next to it.)

• Ne jamais laisser les enfants utiliser, jouer avec, ou de ramper à l'intérieur du réfrigérateur /
congélateur.
