This Owner's Guide provides operating instructions for your mod-
el. Use your freezer only as instructed in this Owner's Guide.
• 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. Over-
loading 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.

instructions
Proper Disposal of Your
Refrigerator/Freezer
Risk ofchitd entrapment. Child
entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezer are still dangerous --
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.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
Read all instructions before using this freezer.
For Your Safety
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
o 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.
A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play. Re=
move 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 door/lid.
Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
pr_ Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an exten-
sion cord or an adapter plug. Do not
remove any prong from power cord.

Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms
in the design of this freezer will operate properly.
• Refer to the 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.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected.
Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your household
voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into
an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.
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.
