Freezer Leveling and Door Closing

Style 1—with Flat Front (no grille)
1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing
materials.
2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the freezer.
The back of the freezer rests on two fixed supports.
3. Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
4. Place a leveling tool on top of the freezer first side to side, then
front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg
clockwise to lower a corner.
5. Repeat Step 4 until freezer is level.
6. After freezer is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in
Step 4.
Style 2—with Plastic Grille
Your freezer has two front adjustable legs, one on each side. The back
of the freezer rests on two fixed rollers. The base grille covers the
adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the
freezer below the freezer door. Before making any adjustments, remove
the base grille and move the freezer to its final location.
Tools Needed: ¹⁄₄" hex driver, Phillips head screwdriver
1. Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you. Open the freezer door to access the brake feet.
NOTE: To allow the freezer to roll more easily, raise the brake feet
by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching
the floor.

Using the Control

Turn the freezer temperature control to 4, as shown below. This setting
is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under
normal operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.

OPERATING YOUR FREEZER

2. Move the freezer to its final location.
3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the rollers
are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This
keeps the freezer from rolling forward when you are opening the
freezer door.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the
brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep
the freezer level.
4. Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the door
opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however, the door
does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the freezer takes some
weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.
Open the freezer door. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both brake feet
clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the freezer. It
may take several turns to allow the door to close more easily.
5. Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady or
rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Freezer:
Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both brake
feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug
against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust
the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the freezer does
not roll forward when the door is opened.
6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or
longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the
freezer door is opened. After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper
temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer's design and main function is to remove heat from the contents
and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air,
making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
