IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/products/recycle for more
information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
appliance will operate properly.
Electrical information
• Plug the appliance into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. Plug it directly into a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle. Install
the receptacle in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connecting the appliance to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with insucient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under
your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or
pull cord to prevent the appliance
from being turned o accidentally.
• WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance unless
they are recommended accessories
for use within this model.
IMPORTANT
Turning the appliance controls to o
will disable your appliance’s cooling
system, but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn o power
to your appliance you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

operating instructions for your model. Use
the appliance only as instructed in this Use
& Care Manual. Before starting the appliance, follow these important first steps.
Location
WARNING
This appliance is intended for use in
residential household and similar
interior applications such as:
• a kitchen/kitchenette
• a pantry room
• a basement
• an enclosed garage
• other interior residential-type
environments
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the appliance out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• Install the appliance on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support a
fully loaded appliance.
NOTE
If your appliance is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space for the handle
so the door can be opened wider.
Guidelines for final positioning of
your appliance:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the
front and rear.
• The door should be level.
Setting the anti-tip bracket:

until they contact the floor. Do not raise
the cabinet.
WARNING
DO NOT install the appliance where
the temperature will drop below 0°F
(-18°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The
compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the unit.
CAUTION

Manual Defrost Upright Freezer
(some models)
CAUTION
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid
electrical hazard) from power source
when defrosting unit.
Between Defrosting
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost.
Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a
metal instrument to remove frost.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean freezer
when ¼" to ½" of frost has accumulated.
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on
upper part of the freezer due to warm,
moist air entering the freezer when the
door is opened. Remove food and leave
the door open when defrosting the freezer.
Before unplugging the unit for defrosting,
empty the lower basket of contents. The
basket comes with a garden hose attachment feature hidden behind a cover (see
Figure 1).
CAUTION
• Pull the appliance straight out to move
it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
CAUTION
Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. Do not touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Some upright freezers are frost-free and
defrost automatically, but should be
cleaned occasionally.
Figure 1
Remove the cover by pulling the cover
straight back using fingers (see Figure 2).
24
Place a folded towel across the width of
the freezer bottom. Place the empty basket on top of the towel pushed completely to the rear. Also place a folded towel on
the floor near the front of the cabinet to
catch any residual moisture.
A ¾" garden hose adapter can be used to
drain the freezer directly into a floor drain
(see Figure 3).
CARE AND CLEANING
Figure 2
If you choose to not use a garden hose,
a garden hose cap can be purchased at
most hardware stores. This cap can be
installed and the defrost water collected
can simply be dumped into a drain.
Please note that the cover that comes
with the basket may not be water tight.
Defrosting without using a garden hose
or a cap may lead to water leaking onto
the floor surface.
Cleaning the Inside
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of
the unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of
baking soda in 1 qt. (1 l) warm water. Rinse
and dry. Wring excess water out of the
sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area
of the controls, or any electrical parts. DO
NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
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.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments, which can scratch the freezer
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.
Figure 3
The frost will loosen and fall with the majority of the frost entering the basket.
If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep
pans with hot water and place them on
the freezer shelves. The frost should
soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this
procedure if necessary.
Remove the garden hose and dump any
remaining water. Remove the towels. Dry the
side walls, shelves and freezer bottom with a
dry towel. Replace the Cover and place the
basket back into the freezer compartment.
