Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom corners
resting rmly on a solid oor. The oor must be
strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.
NOTE
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance
to be level in order to function properly. If
the unit is not leveled during installation,
the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or
moisture problems.
To level: Adjust the bottom feet by turning
counterclockwise to lengthen and clockwise
to shorten. Use a carpenter’s level to level
the appliance from front to back. Adjust the
leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so the
door closes easily.
Lengthen
Shorten
NOTE
The exterior walls of the unit may become
quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures
as much as 30° F warmer than room
temperature can be expected. For this reason
it is particularly important in hotter climates
to allow enough space for air circulation
around your appliance.
CAUTION
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO
NOT let food packages extend past the front
of shelves.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for
the appliance to cool down completely. The
unit will run continuously for the rst several hours. Foods that are already frozen
may be placed in the unit after the rst few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should
NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer
has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds
of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer
space at one time. Distribute packages to
be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It
is not necessary to turn control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located inside the
freezer on the back wall. The temperature is
factory preset to “Recommended” to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures.
However, the temperature control is adjustable
to provide a range of temperatures for your
personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature
is desired, turn the temperature control knob
toward COLDEST and allow several hours for
temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.
Temperature Range: -10 to +10ºF
Door Ajar Alert
If your door has been left open for 5 minutes
or more the audible alert will sound until the
door is closed.
Power On Light
The Power On Light indicates the appliance
is properly connected to electrical power. The
light glows even when the temperature control
is turned to OFF. If the light goes out, refer to
“Appliance does not run” in the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING section. A ashing light with an
audible alert indicates a high temp condition
(see “ Temperature Too warm” in the TROU-
BLESHOOTING section.
High Temp Alert
If the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds
21°F (-6°C), the LED light at the bottom of the
cabinet will ash and the alarm will sound. The
alarm can be reset by opening and then closing
the door. The LED will continue to ash until the
cabinet temperature is below 21°F (-6°C).

SAVING ENERGY
• The appliance 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 unit. Overloading the
appliance 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
unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside
the unit.
• 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 ecient.
• 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.

out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in
the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda
solution mentioned above, or mild detergent
and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use
metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive
cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
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 the
tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
