1.locate it properly - For top

performance, locate your freezer in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight and away from such heat sources as radiators. Pick a sate place, indoors, away from inflamma- bles such as gasoline. For proper air circulation allow

at least two inches (5 cm] of air space at the back and three inches (7.5 cm)

at the sides of the freezer. Do not cover the freezer with such items as blankets, sheets, table- cloths, etc. Check the strength

of the floor, make certain it can support the weight of the freezer when it is loaded. If hinges need to be removed to get freezer through a doorway, follow these steps. Check the way the lid makes contact with freezer cabinet to help when replacing lid. With the lid closed, remove hinge screws from the cabinet and lift off lid. To replace lid, place it on the cabinet

then replace hinge screws.

Be sure the gasket on the lid is making contact with the cabinet around all four sides.

from end to end and from front to back so that the lid will seal properly. With the lid open, lay a spirit level on the edge of the freezer at the end and the

front of the cabinet. If it is necessary to level cabinet, use wood shims. Do not use card- board or other soft material.

To start freezer

Electrical Connection -Your freezer should be connected to its own individual receptacle, one not controlled by a wall switch. Make sure the

receptacle provides 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz AC current. For your safety, the power supply cord of the freezer is equipped with a

three-pronged grounding plug. It should be plugged into a matching grounded three- pronged type wall receptacle. Attach retaining clip for cord plug. Do not remove the ground prong. See electrical require- ments and grounding in- structions sheet for complete information.

Set cold control - Insert a coin in the slot of the control to turn it. To start, turn cold control to Number 3. This position will main- tain zero zone temperatures

under normal operating con- ditions Turn the cold control to a higher number for colder

temperatures or a lower number for less cold temperatures.

let freezer cool before filling - Allow freezer to cool 6 to B hours before filling with frozen food. Let it cool overnight before add- ing a quantity of fresh food to be frozen.

NOTE: When freezer first starts, the compressor will run all the time until the cabinet is cooled to a

safe storage temperature. This first cooling may take 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending

upon the weather and number of times the freezer lid is opened. After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor turns off. It will then turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at a safe storage temperature.

Exterior signal light - located

on the right front of the freezer at the bottom, the signal light auto- matically warns of any un- expected power failure. When power is being supplied the light will glow. If light does not glow,

check immediately. The electric current may be off; the freezer

may be disconnected from the outlet; or the warning light may be burned out.
