Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• 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 4 inch (101.6 mm)
space
on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.
Leveling
Turn
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor
Left To
Raise
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 installatioin, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal
properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
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
•
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.
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to cool down completely. The
•
freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen
foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer
space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the
freezer. It is not necessary to turn control knob to a colder setting while freezing
foo
d.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located inside the freezer on upright models, and on
the front outside wall on chest models. The temperature is factory preset to pro-
vide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is
adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a
colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLD-
EST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.
Security Lock with Pop-Out Key
This security lock fastens the door snugly, ensuring that stored food is secure. To
lock or unlock the freezer, push the key into the lock and turn. The key pops out
of the lock after it has been turned.
Defrost Drain
The defrost drain provides a method of draining the water during defrosting and
cleaning. See "Defrosting" in Care and Cleaning Section.
