Electrical Requirements

4.Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if necessary.

5.Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space on both sides of the freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.

2" (5 cm)

3" (7.5 cm)

6.It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, contact a designated service company.

NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

FREEZER USE

Using theControl

Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.

Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 lbs (0.907 to 1.360 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.

NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer lid is opened.

After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.

The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.

Adjusting the Control

Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.

Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

Temperature Alarm (on some models)

The temperature alarm is located above the temperature control and sounds an audible alarm if the temperature reaches 10°F (-12°C) or more above normal for the selected setting. The alarm is controlled by a three position switch.

0Prevents the alarm from sounding when the freezer is warm, such during start-up or defrosting.

Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.

1The proper setting for normal freezer use.

To change the temperature alarm setting, move the switch from one setting to another.
