• 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.
• Lethot foods cool to room temperature before placing inthe freezer. Overloading
the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foodsthat freeze too slowly may
lose quality or spoil.
• Besureto wrap foods properly and wipe containers drybefore placing them in the
freezer. Thiscuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer shelvesand baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper toweling. Linersinterfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less
efficient.
• Organize andlabel food to reduce door openings andextended searches.Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.

shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-
prong receptacle, protected with a15amp time delayfuse 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.

Between Defrostings
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost.
Scrapewith a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.
Defrosting
It isimportant to defrost and cleanfreezer when 1/4to Y_inch of frost hasaccumulated.
Frostmay tend to accumulate faster on upper partof thefreezer due to warm, moist
air entering the freezer when the door isopened. Removefood and leavethe door
open when defrosting the freezer.
• On upright models with adefrost drain (Figure1), remove drain plug on the inside
floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To accessexternal drain tube on models
with a basepanel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the
drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Placea shallow pan under the
drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally sowater does not
overflow. A _/_inch garden hoseadapter can be usedto drain the freezer directly
into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be
purchased at most hardware stores. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and
cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter freezer.
• On chest models with a defrost drain, place a shallow pan or the Divider/Drain
Pan (some models) beneath the drain outlet (Figure 2). A _/_inch garden hose
adapter can be usedto drain the freezer directly into afloor drain (Figure 3). Ifyour
