The Freezer Compartment

This compartment is designed for the long term storage of frozen food.

The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.

Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Freezer

Unplug the freezer, and remove the food, and baskets.

Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.

The outside of the freezer should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

Vacation Time

During long absences, remove all the food; unplug your freezer, clean your freezer, and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.

Moving Your Freezer

Remove all the food.

Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.

Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.

Tape the door shut.

Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips

The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the 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 storage baskets 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 searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Reversing the Door Swing of Your Freezer

This freezer has the capability of either opening the door from the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening direction, please call customer service for reversal instructions.
