checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

During defrosting, a slight noise may
be noticed if the door is opened while
the freezer is in the automatic defrosting cycle.
Outside–The steel exterior is coated
with a high quality baked-on finish,
However, without proper care, degradation of this finish can occur and permit rust spots to form on the outside
of the cabinet.
To keep your freezer new-looking and
provide protectionfor the exterior
paint finish, apply a coat opf appli-
ance polish wax when the freezer is
new and then again at Ieats twice a
year. Proper care of the paint finish
will help maintain the new look and
provide protection against rusting. If
the exterior should become soiled,
wipe off with a c/can cloth lightly
dampened with appliance polish or
mild householddetergent.Use a
c/can, soft cloth to dry and polish the
cleaned surface. DO NOT wipe with a
soiled dishwashing cloth or a wet towel.

There a~e three essential requirements for efficient home freezing.
1. Initial quality.Only top-quality foods
should be frozen. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot improve
quality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after picking, the
better the frozen product will be. You’ll
save time, too, because less culling
and sorting will be necessary.
3. Proper packaging. Use food wraps
designedespeciallyfor freezing;
they’re readily availablein a wide
selection at your favorite store.
A complete guide to freezing and packaging is included with your freezer.
Freezing is fast and efficient throughout the freezer, but quickest on the
top shelf—especially with temperature
control at a number higher then 4 (the
coldest setting is “COLDEST”).
If you plan to quick-freezelarge
amounts of food, turn the temperature
control to “COLDEST” several hours
before food will be ready to be placed
in the freezer,
Never freeze more
than three pounds
of food per cubic foot of freezer capacity at one time.
