This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.
Location
•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
•The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110° F (43° C). Tem- peratures 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 (some models)
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor 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 installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
Cleaning
•Wash any removable parts of 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 remov- ing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent or the residue can be touched with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
Security Lock with Pop-Out Key (some models)
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.
Power On Light
The Power On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to electrical power. The light glows even when the temperature control is turned to OFF. If the light goes out, refer to "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service Checklist.
