First Steps

Before

starting

the freezer,

follow

these

important

first

steps:

Installation

311

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet
• Forthe most efficient operation0 the freezer should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 1 t0% (43°C) Temperatures of 32°F (O°C) and
below will NOT affect freezer operation Additional compressor heaters are not
recommended,
At/owspacearoundthe unitforgoodaircirculation
Leave a 3 inch (75 ram) space
on all sides of the freeZer for adequate circulation

Installation

NOTE: The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor
workstotransfer heat from the inside Temperaturesas much as 30 ° Fwarmer than
room temperture can be expected For this reason it is particularly important in
hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your freezer

Failure/

Freezer Failure
Do not open freezer door
unnecessarily if freezer is
off for several hours.

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods witl stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the
freezer is kept closed If timepower 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

Saving-Ideas

• The freezer.shouldlocated
be
in the coo.!est area of t hero.om, 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 shefves 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 searc:hes'
"
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
