Key Eject Lock

Entrapment Hazard
Keep key away from children.
Failure to do so can result in death, suffocation, or
frostbite.
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must
hold the key in the lock while turning. The
lock is spring-loaded, so the key cannot be
left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a
replacement. Always give the model and
serial number of your freezer when
requesting a replacement key.
NOTE: Keep the key out of the reach of
children. Do not keep the key close to the
freezer/refrigerator.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperature,
you need to permit proper airflow in the
freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool
air enters from the freezer wall and
moves down. The air then recirculates
through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked,
airflow will be restricted and temperature
and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and
drying out of food, wrap or cover foods
tightly.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
� Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
� If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable
food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Moving Care

When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all frozen food.
2. Unplug the freezer.
3. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
4. Clean the freezer thoroughly.
5. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to your Quick Start Guide
and the "Installation Instructions" of your Owner's Manual for
information on installation and setting the controls.
