For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 40 ° F (5 ° C) or exceed 110 ° F (43 ° C). Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and electrical connections: Sides 3/8" * Back & Top 1" Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer.

Tik-Out Shelf 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 leaded into the freezer until the freezer has operated for 4 hours. 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 ADJUSTABLE INTERIOR SHELVES Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can be moved to any position for larger or smaller packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the shelves for shipping may be removed and discarded. CONTROL The temperature control is located inside the freezer compartment. 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.

Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth. I_ Mid Levem Lighting 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 spoil or lose quality. 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 foi!, 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. Moving: When moving the freezer, guidMines to prevent damage: follow these ,, ,, 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.

Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item. ,, ff 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. ff the freezer has stopped operating, see Freezer Does Not Run in the Troubleshooting Guide. If you cannot solve the problem, call Sears Service immediately. If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under Frozen Food Locker Plants. If your freezer has an automatic ice maker, it wilI provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in some models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
