The information contained in this Use and Care Guide will
instruct you on how to properly operate and care for your
product. Please read through the information contained in
your literature pack to learn more about your new freezer.
Record your Model and Serial Numbers
Record the model number and serial number of this freezer
in the space provided below.

This Use and Care Guide provides operating instructions
for your model. Use your freezer only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.

Child Safety
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping
material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children
should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become
airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
A child might suffocate if he crawls into the freezer to hide
or play. Remove the door/lid of the freezer when not in use,
even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many communities
have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves
during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents:
Remove the door/lid. If your door has electronic controls,
have it removed by a qualified technician.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL

iNFORMATiON

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly.
Refer to the serialplate for correct electrical rating.
The power cord of the appiiance is equipped with a
three prong plug for your protection against shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
groundedthree prong receptacle, protected with a 15
amp timedelay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Interrupters
(GFI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD OR ADAPTER PLUG.
If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer performance
may be affected. Operating 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.

This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in
this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow
these important first steps.
INSTALLATION
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
=

For the most efficient operation, the freezer should
be located where surrounding temperatures will not
exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and
below will 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.
3" (75mm) Air Space

To prevent the freezer from being turned off
accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.

3" (75 mm)

Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.
OTHER

PRECAUTIONS

To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the cord.
Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle.
Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the
light bulb or other electrical components.

r z,'Iv'-la#n#mAvoid fire hazard or electric
shock. Do not use an extension cord or
an adapter plug. Do not remove any
prong from the power cord.

Installation

installation

NOTE: The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the
inside. Temperatures as much as 30 ° F warmer than room
temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for
air circulation around your freezer.
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: It is VERY IMPORTANT for
your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the
freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may be
misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Upright Models:
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, Y2bubble higher, so that
the door closes easily when left halfway open.

Please have a qualified technician remove the door.

To Level Chest Models:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between foot pads
and floor.
CLEANING

(PRIOR

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.

TO USE)

Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and
exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry.
Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape
can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side
of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial
plate.

_To

allow door to

close and seal properly, DO NOT let
food packages extend past the front
of shelves.

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 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 the door as soon as possible.

COOL

DOWN

PERIOD

For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to
cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously
for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the freezer after the first few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be
loaded into the freezer until the freezer has operated
for 4 hours.
Shelf Front

When loading the 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 the control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.

TEMPERATURE

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.
DEFROSTING

CHEST DIVIDER (SOME CHEST MODELS)
Use these clever dividers to custom=arrange a variety of
different-sized storage bins in the bottom of your chest freezer.
Use the peel-n-stick labels found in your literature packet to
help remind you which items are stored where. If you have
an item that isn't already covered by one of the pre-printed
labels then use one of the blank labels and a permanent
marking pen to make your own custom label. Labels can be
peeled off when no longer needed and replaced by new and
different ones.

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when 1Ato
V2inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the 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.
To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by
pulling it 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
will drain out. Check the pan occasionally so water does
not overflow (see figure 1).
. A Y2 inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the
freezer directly into a floor drain. Ifyour 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 the
freezer.
