FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Read product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
,, Do not operate the freezer in the presence of
explosive fumes.
,, Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.
,, Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can
cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
CHILD SAFETY
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer
is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers,
and can quickly cause suffocation.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR
REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
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.
Before you throw away your old refrigeratorlfreezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICAL iNFORMATiON
•Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical
rating. The power cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection
against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The
power supply circuit must be installed in accordance
with current edition of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFIC) are NOT
RECOMMENDED. Do not use an extension cord
or adaptor plug.
•if voltage varies by 10% or mere, 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 house hold voltage is high or low,
consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the freezer from being turned off
accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.
• 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.

thefreezer,followtheseimportantfirst steps.
LOCATION
• 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 drop
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 1IO°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. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your freezer.

DOOR OPENING
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.

5 Remove screws from top hinge.
6 Remove top hinge from cabinet.
7 Remove door and bottom hinge from cabinet.
8 To replace door, reverse the above order and
manner of removal. Securely tighten all screws to
prevent hinge slippage.
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.
• 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 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.

Mid Level Lighting
o/ \o
• 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
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.
VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
Short Vacations:
Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the freezer will not be used for several months:
Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open
if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: When moving the freezer, follow these
guidelines to prevent damage:
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 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 "Before You Call" Section. 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.

separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its "'up" or OFF position
until the freezer is connected to the water supply or
whenever the water supply is turned off.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker
is operating:
-Motor running
-Ice loosening from tray
-Ice dropping into ice container
-Running water
-Water valve opening or closing
