Use the freezer only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps. * 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. iNSTALLATiON * Choose a place that is neara 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 t t0°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended. LID REMOVAL * See lid removal instructions in the back of the cabinet. (UNPLUG THE UNIT) * The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the * 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. room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. 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. If needed, add metal or wood shims between foot pads and floor. * 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 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 lid openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the lid as soon as possible. SLIDE=ASIDE COOL DOWNPERIOD Forsafefoodstorage, allowfour(4)hoursforfreezertocool downcompletely.

Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item. NOTE: Do not open freezer lid unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.

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 Troubleshooting Guide. 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 failure.
