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
•Adjust the leg to achieve a !/4 inch slope from
•If the rear corners need to be raised, use shims made of wood or other hard material. 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 elec-
tric outlet you select does not need a ceiling drop cord.
•Use a fuse or
Electrical Grounding

_ARNING: Unless the grounding method 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
consistent freezing temperatures throughout the freezer. Freezer temperature will vary depending on the quan- tity of food stored and on the frequency of door open- ings.
Wait 4 hours before loading the freezer. It takes time to reach .storage temperalu[e. During this time the freezer may run constantly.-
Maintenance
Defrosting
nect power before defrosting.
_DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard. Discon-
You should defrost your freezer when the frost be- comes 1/4 inch thick. Further accumulation will reduce
operating efficiency. How often you have to defrost depends on the type and amount of food you freeze, the temperature and humidity and the number of times you open and close the freezer. The period between defrosting can be extended by scraping frost avery so often with a plastic scraper.
Defrosting Steps
1.Unplug power supply cord.
2.Remove all food and place it in cardboard boxes or
wrap it in several layers of newspaper. This action will allow food to remain safely frozen while you
defrost and clean your freezer.
3.Leave door open and wait for frost to soften. Place pans of hot water on the shelves or use an electric fan blowing, into the freezer to speed defrosting. DO not use electric defrost devices as they can damage
the plastic parts of your freezer.
4.Remove softened frost with a plastic or wooden scraper, or a cloth or sponge. CAUTION: NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE FROST. They could puncture freezing coils and severely damage the refrigeration system.
5.Defrost water will accumulate at the bottom of the interior cabinet which can be absorbed with a sponge or towel.
6.Clean the inside of the freezer. Cleaning instruct-
ions are described below and on the permanent
use and care label on the inside of the freezer door.
7.Plug freezer in and replace frozen foods..
Cleaning
•Use only mild soapy water to clean door gaskets.
•Turn off the freezer and remove foods. Wash interior liner with a solution of warm water and two table- spoons baking soda per one quart of water. Rinse and wipe clean. DO NOT use soaps, detergents, scouring powder, spray cleaner or the like for the liner. They may create unwanted odors in the freezer.
•Wash the exterior with detergent or soap and water. Rinse well and wipe dry.
•DO NOT use scouring powders or pads. Never use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline, benzene, or the like for cleaning any part of the freezer. Boiling water and benzene may deform .and damage plastic parts."
