,,Level the freezer so that the door closes tightly.
,,Refer to the "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL" section for the suggested temperature control settings.
,,Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forced the compressor to run longer. Foods that freezer too slowly may spoil or lose quality.
,,Do not overcrowd the freezer or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run longer and use more energy.
,,Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost

,,Organize the freezer to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
Short Vacations:
,,Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
NOTE: Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under Dry Ice, Dairies or Ice Cream Manufacturers for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.
if the freezer has stopped operating, see "FREEZER DOES NOT RUN" in the "TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE" section. If you cannot solve the problem, call Sears Service immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under Frozen Food Locker Plants.
If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories
that may be installed in some models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until the cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
Long Vacations:
If the freezer will not be used for several months:
,,Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
,,Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
,,Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
