A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

Before use
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation". Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it standing upright for about 30 minutes, or for 4 hours if it was transported horizontally. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.

Using the freezer
To start the freezer and set the correct temperature
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position. 1: The lowest position of the thermostat control results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet. 6: The highest position of the thermostat control results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet. 0: Switched off. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.

Switching off
Set the thermostat control to the "0" position. Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket or, alternatively, remove the fuse.
