Appliance Setup
This Use & Care Guide provides specific
operating instructions for your model. Use
the unit only as instructed in this Use &
Care Guide. Before starting the appliance,
follow these important setup 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 1-inch (25.4 mm)
space at the back and on top and a
3/8-inch (9.5 mm) space on the sides of
the appliance for adequate circulation.
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners
resting firmly on a solid floor that is strong
enough to support a fully loaded freezer.
It is Very Important for the appliance to
be level in order to function properly. If
not level, the door may be misaligned and
not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
The appliance is equipped with adjustable
front leveling feet. Turn the foot clockwise
to heighten (H) the side of the unit. Turn
counterclockwise to lower (L) the side.
Adjust each side as needed until front of
unit is level. Also adjust so that front of unit
is 1/4˝ higher than back, so that door stays
closed.
Cleaning
• 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 ap-
pliance 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 re-
moved. Do not remove the serial plate.
Energy Saving Ideas
• The freezer should be
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in 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.
• Do not line freezer shelves and bins
with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, reducing freezer efficiency.
• Organize and label food to reduce lid
openings and extended searches.
• Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close door as soon as possible.
