Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous J even if they will sit for
"just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow
the instructions below
to help prevent
accidents.

place so children may not easily climb
inside.

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the
freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less
efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.
Read all instructions before using this freezer.
r.w_
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
, • - Child Safety
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the
freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers
and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Achildmightsuffocateifhecrawlsintoafreezertohideorplay. Remove the door
of a freezer when not in use, even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many
communities have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design of this freezer will operate properly.
Refer tothe serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the appliance
is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle,
protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT
RECOMMENDED. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• Ifvoltage varies by 10percent ormore, freezer performance may be affected. Operating
the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered
under the warranty. Ifyou suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult your
power company for testing.
• To prevent the freezerfrom being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet
controlled by a watt switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.
Electrical Information
Other Precautions
• To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
• Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power
to other electrical components.
First Steps
3" AIR SPACE
Installation
Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures wilt not exceed 110°F
(43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below wilt NOT affect freezer operation.
Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space
on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must
be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: Itis VERY IMPORTANT for your
freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during
instaltatioin, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Upright Unit:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the freezer
from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the
door closes easily when left halfway open.
Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and exterior with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed
with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky
side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
