Energy Saving ideas • 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. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible. • • • • important Safety instructions Proper Disposal of Your Refrigerator/Freezer Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous J even if they will sit for "just a few days."

Grounding type wall receptacle r.v_ Electrical Information These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly. Refer tothe 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 protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug. • Ifvoltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing. • To prevent the freezerfrom being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a watt switch or pull cord. • Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner. Other Precautions • To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first. • Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. • Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power to other electrical components. Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug First Steps Before 3" AIR SPACE starting the freezer, follow these important first steps: Installation • • • Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures wilt not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below wilt NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended. Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation. Leveling The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: Itis VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during instaltatioin, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. Installation To Level Upright Unit: After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

Setting the Temperature Cool Control Down Cabinet Connector Period • For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours. • When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It is not necessary to turn control knob to a colder setting while freezing food. Temperature Control The temperature control is located inside the freezer. The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments. Cold Control NOTE Freezer Optional Features Your freezer may have some, or all of the features listed below. Become familiar with these features, and their use and care. Power On Light The Power On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to electrical power. The light glows even when the temperature control is turned to OFF. If the light goes out, refer to "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service Checklist. TempAlarm This feature is designed to provide a warning of a possible malfunction. If the temperature of the food rises to a level unsafe for long-term storage, the buzzer will sound. The red light, if equipped, will also glow. The Temp Alarm feature operates on household electricity. If power fails, the alarm wilt not function. An ON/OFF switch allows you to deactivate the Temp Alarm when not wanted. The freezer is shipped with the Temp Alarm in the OFF position. After freezer has run approximately 4 hours, the red light, if equipped, will go off. Then you may activate the Temp Alarm without the alarm sounding. Figure 1 Temp Alarm - Upright Freezers Press the ON switch to activate the Temp Alarm. To deactivate, press the OFF switch. If the alarm sounds, be sure freezer is properly leveled, and the door closes freely and seals properly. If you suspect a technical malfunction, call an authorized servicer immediately. 4 Freezer Optional Features (cont.,ued) Super Freeze When the Super Freeze switch is ON, freezer wilt run continuously to reach the coldest possible temperatures. Use this feature prior to adding large quantities of unfrozen foods. (Not to exceed 3 pounds per cubic foot of freezer space.) This switch must be manually returned to the OFF position when not needed. Super Defrost NOTE: The Temp Alarm should be turned off when freezer is being defrosted. Freezer will defrost in a fraction of the time usually needed when using Super Defrost feature. To defrost, remove all food, and follow these steps: 1. Pull out Super Defrost Switch located behind lower part of door. Leave door open while defrosting. Freezer will not defrost with door closed. Plung 2. After defrosting is completed, push in Super Defrost button to restart compressor. 3. Turn on Temp Alarm after freezer has reached freezing temperatures. Slide-Out Basket The Slide-Out Basket, located at the bottom of the freezer provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, pull out and lift up. Security Lock with Pop-Out Key This security lock fastens the door snugly, ensuring that stored food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, push the key into the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it has been turned. interior Light The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same wattage. Adjustable Shelf This shelf can be moved to one of two positions. Lift the shelf up and out to move to the desired position. Defrost Drain The defrost drain provides a method of draining the water during defrosting and cleaning. See "Defrosting" in Care and Cleaning Section. Fast Freezing Shelves (upright models) These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze foods quickly and allow cold air to constantly circulate throughout the freezer, Do not use sharp metal objects such as ice picks or scrapers to clean the shelves, This could damage the shelves and reduce their cooling ability, These shelves are not adjustable, 5 Care and Cleaning Damp objects stick to cold surfaces. Do not touch interior surfaces Between metal metal with wet or damp hands. Defrostings To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost. CAILIT|ON Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when defrosting unit. Defrosting Drain It is important to defrost and clean freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer. • On models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water wilt drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter freezer. • On models without a defrost drain, place towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers. • If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fitt deep pans with hot water and place them on the freezer bottom. Close the freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary. Cleaning the Inside After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 litres) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts. Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher. Cleaning the Outside Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse welt and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food. Power Failure/ Freezer Failure WARNING If leaving freezer door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the freezer and become entrapped. NOTE Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours. Vacation and Moving Tips Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long Vacations: If the freezer wilt not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item. If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice Cream Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice. If the freezer has stopped operating, see "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service Checklist Section of this manual. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized servicer immediately. If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power faiture.
