Installation

Inspection

When your new freezer is delivered, check thoroughly for shipping damage and missing parts. If you find either, please notify Sears at once.

Location is Important

Your new freezer wilI work best in a dry, ventilated place, where the temperature falls between 65° and 110° F. Extreme temperatures can shorten the freezer's life. Very high temperatures (such as in an unventilated garage in summer) also will make your freezer run more, increasing its operating cost.

Your freezer must be allowed enough space for proper air circulation. 'Thisfreezer is designed for FREESTANDING INSTALLATION ONLY and should not be recessed or built-in. Allow 3 inches of space on each side and rear and 4 inches on the top of the cabinet. This is particularly important in hotter climates.

Pick a spot where the floor will support the weight of the freezer fully loaded. It is best to keep your freezer away from an oven or other heat source. Pick a safe place, indoors, away from flammables such as gasoline.

Leveling the Freezer

To ensure proper door seal and optimum performance, level freezer using the leveling leg located on its bottom front corner.

Once your freezer is in the desired location, use a carpenter's level and adjust the leveling leg as

necessary to make sure the cabinet is level side4o-side.

•Adjust the leg to achieve a 1/4 inch slope from front- to-back (½ bubble on a carpenter's level) to provide easy door closure and proper door seal.

•If the rear corners need to be raised,use shims made of wood or other hard materials. Cardboard and other soft materials will not work.

Electrical Requirements

•120 Volts, 60 Hz (60 cycles AC), 15 amps DO NOT use an extension cord.

Select an electric wall outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Be sure that the electric outlet you select does not need a ceiling drop cord.

Use a fuse or circuit-breaker protected circuit that will not become overloaded when the freezer is installed.

Electrical Grounding

Your freezer comes with a three-prong plug and must be inserted into a three-prong, grounded wall outlet.

WARNING: Unless the grounding method described above is followed, you are not protected against severe or lethal shock in the event of the short circuit of the freezer's wiring or electrical components.

Operation

Starting

The freezer temperature is preset to maintain the ideal temperature for food storage. The evaporator forms the storage shelves of the unit which provides even freezing temperatures throughout the freezer. Freezer temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and on the frequency of door openings.

Wait 4 hours before loading the freezer. It takes time to reach storage temperature. During this time the freezer may run constantly.
