FREEZER FEATURES

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the features may not match those of your model.

Refrigerated Shelves

(on somemodels)

Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves. Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food packages.

Storage Gate

(on somemodels)

To Lower and Raise the Storage Gate:

1.Lift the top of the gate up slightly, out of the supports. Pull the gate forward and down.

2.Return the gate to the upright position. Lift the top of the gate slightly to clear the supports. Lower the gate into the supports.

When placing the food packages in your freezer, please remember:

■The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the door shelves or the freezer bottom.

■Leave some space between the food packages so that cold air can pass over and around them.

Door Bin

To remove and replace the bin:

1.Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin forward and sliding out.

2.Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support tilting it back into place.

StorageBasket

(on somemodels)

The slide out basket provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, pull out and lift up.

FREEZER CARE

Cleaning Your Frost-Free Freezer

(somemodels)

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Frost-free means that you will not have to defrost your freezer. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.

1.Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

2.Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler, additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.

3.Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm water.

■Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

4.Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

5.Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
