The EdgeStar CMF151L-1 is a compact freezer designed for domestic indoor use, offering a convenient solution for storing frozen foods. This appliance is not intended for industrial or commercial use. It operates on a standard electrical supply of 115V AC, 60Hz, and requires proper grounding in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The unit has an amperage of 1.1A.
The primary function of the CMF151L-1 is to freeze and store food items. It features a thermostat control knob inside the freezer for temperature regulation, with markings for "MIN," "MAX," and "OFF" positions. The temperature decreases from high to low, with "MIN" being the warmest and "MAX" being the coldest setting. The freezer is designed to maintain temperatures ranging from -11°F to 5°F. It utilizes R600a refrigerant (0.92 oz) and incorporates an "auto-defrost" system, though manual defrosting may be required under certain conditions, such as high humidity or if frost builds up significantly.
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including the use of at least two people for moving and installing the freezer, proper grounding, and avoiding the use of extension cords or power strips. It warns against damaging the refrigerant tubing due to the use of flammable refrigerant (R600a). Children should be supervised and never allowed to crawl inside the freezer. The unit should not be placed near heat sources or flammable materials. Any repairs should only be performed by qualified technicians.
