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 safe place, indoors, away from

inflammables 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, tablecloths,

etc. Check the strength of the floor, make certain it can support the weight of the freezer when it is loaded. It should not be necessary to remove the lid

during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, see your authorized WHIRLPOOL dealer.

2.Keep it level - Level freezer 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 cardboard or other soft material.

3.Cleaning - Before starting,

wash the interior with a solution of two tablespoons (26 g) of baking soda to one quart (.95 L) of warm water. Rinse and dry. Wash outside of freezer with warm water and mild soap or detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry.

NOTE: Do not use an abrasive or harsh cleanser. Cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches and cleansers containing petroleum products should not be used to clean plastic parts of the freezer.

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.

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 adding a quantity of food to be frozen.

NOTE: When freezer first starts, the motor 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 t-he cabinet is cooled, the motor turlns off. It will then turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at a safe storage temperature.
