Leveling the Freezer
To ensure proper door seal and optimum performance,
level freezer using the leveling leg located on its bottom
front corner.
Once your freezer is in the desired location, use a
carpenter's level and adjust the leveling leg as
necessary to make sure the cabinet is level side-to-
side.
• Adjust the leg to achieve a !/4 inch slope from
front-to-back (1/2 bubble on a carpenter's level) to
provide easy door closure and proper door seal.
• If the rear corners need to be raised, use shims
made of wood or other hard material. Cardboard
and other soft materials will not work.
Electrical Requirements
• 120 Volts, 60 Hz (60 cycles AC), 15 amps
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• select an electric wall outlet that cannot be turned
off by a switch or pull chain. Be sure that the elec-
tric outlet you select does not need a ceiling drop
cord.
• Use a fuse or circuit-breaker protected circuit that
will not become overloaded when the freezer is
installed.
Electrical Grounding
Your freezer comes with a three-prong plug and must
be inserted into a three-prong, grounded wall outlet.

Maintenance
Defrosting
nect power before defrosting.
_ DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard. Discon-
You should defrost your freezer when the frost be-
comes 1/4 inch thick. Further accumulation will reduce
operating efficiency. How often you have to defrost
depends on the type and amount of food you freeze,
the temperature and humidity and the number of times
you open and close the freezer. The period between
defrosting can be extended by scraping frost avery so
often with a plastic scraper.
Defrosting Steps
1. Unplug power supply cord.
2. Remove all food and place it in cardboard boxes or
wrap it in several layers of newspaper. This action
will allow food to remain safely frozen while you
defrost and clean your freezer.
3. Leave door open and wait for frost to soften. Place
pans of hot water on the shelves or use an electric
fan blowing, into the freezer to speed defrosting. DO
not use electric defrost devices as they can damage
the plastic parts of your freezer.
4. Remove softened frost with a plastic or wooden
scraper, or a cloth or sponge. CAUTION: NEVER
USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE FROST. They
could puncture freezing coils and severely damage
the refrigeration system.
5. Defrost water will accumulate at the bottom of the
interior cabinet which can be absorbed with a
sponge or towel.
6. Clean the inside of the freezer. Cleaning instruct-
ions are described below and on the permanent
use and care label on the inside of the freezer door.
7. Plug freezer in and replace frozen foods..
described above is followed, you are not
_ ARNING: Unless the grounding method
protected against severe or lethal shock in
the event of the short circuit of the freezer's
wiring or electrical components.
Operation
Starting
The freezer temperature is preset to maintain the
ideal temperature for food storage. The evaporator
forms the storage shelves of the unit which provides
consistent freezing temperatures throughout the freezer.
Freezer temperature will vary depending on the quan-
tity of food stored and on the frequency of door open-
ings.
Wait 4 hours before loading the freezer. Ittakes time to
reach .storage temperalu[e. During this time the freezer
may run constantly.-
Cleaning
• Use only mild soapy water to clean door gaskets.
• Turn off the freezer and remove foods. Wash interior
liner with a solution of warm water and two table-
spoons baking soda per one quart of water. Rinse
and wipe clean. DO NOT use soaps, detergents,
scouring powder, spray cleaner or the like for the
liner. They may create unwanted odors in the freezer.
• Wash the exterior with detergent or soap and water.
Rinse well and wipe dry.
• DO NOT use scouring powders or pads. Never use
acids, chemical thinner, gasoline, benzene, or the
like for cleaning any part of the freezer. Boiling water
and benzene may deform .and damage plastic parts."

Loading the Freezer
To prepare food for freezing, use only containers and
wrapping materials made especially for freezers. For
fast efficient freezing DO NOT freeze more than three
pounds of UNFROZEN food per cubic foot capacity of
your freezer. For example, if the capacity of your
freezer is 10 cubic feet, do not freeze more than 30
pounds of unfrozen food at one time. DO NOT place
hot food in the freezer.
Power Failure
If electrical power fails and will remain off for less
than 24 hours: Keep the freezer door closed so its
contents will remain frozen.
If power will remain off for more than 24 hours, do
one of the following:
Remov_food and place in a frozen food locker,
Place dry ice in the freezer. First cover food
packages with newspaper or cardboard. Then
spread dry ice over this covering. Be careful that
dry ice is not directly touching the food packages
as it could "bum" the food.
• If locker storage space is not available, or you
cannot get dry ice, use perishable food immedi-
ately.
Food Loss Coverage Limitation-
If promptly reported to your nearest Sears Store or
Service Center, Sears will reimburse you up to a total
of $100.00 for the value of food, as verified by Sears,
lost while stored in the freezer when used for private
household purposes, as a result of:
Defects that occur during the first year following
date of purchase.
• Failure of the sealed system (including refriger-
ant, connecting tubing and compressor motor)
dueto defects that occur during the second
through fifth year after purchase.
if freezer is used for other than private household
purposes, Sears will not be responsible for any food
loss. Food losses resulting from other than the above
stated defects, such as: natural spoilage, power
interruption, inadequate power, manual disconnectof
power supply, fire damage, water damage, theft, etc.,
are beyond our control and are not covered by Sears.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

tates, IL 60179.
When Is It Safe To Refreeze Food?
If food still contains ice-crystals, it may be safe to
refreeze it although its quality may suffer slightly.
Refrozen food "should be used as soon as possible.
Iffood is completely defrosted but still cold to touch
(lower than 40* F), use it immediately or cook food
and then freeze for future use. If there is any question
about whether food is good or not, dispose of it.
Vacation/Moving
If you shut the freezer off for a period of time (more
than 24 hours) or are moving the-freezer:
Remove all its contents and unplug the freezer.
Clean thoroughly per Cleaning instructions above.
Prop door open so air can circulate to prevent odor
and mold growth. CAUTION: To help prevent acci-
dents, do not allow small children to have access to
the freezer when its door is open.
Before moving freezer take out all removable
shelves, baskets or bins and tape or lock door
shut to prevent accidental damage.
Ship freezer in upright position. Do not lay freezer
on any at its sides.
• Make sure new location can support the weight of
the loaded freezer.
Level freezer atnew location as previously
described to ensdre proper door seal.
Troubleshooting
My Freezer Is Too Warm...
Make sure the door is fully closed.
• Level the freezer to ensure proper door seal.
Clean the condenser coils on the back to improve

openings in humid conditions will cause this
condition.

to ensure proper door seal.
My Freezer Is Noisy...
• Make sure the cabinet is resting squarely on.the
floor on all four corners without touching a wall or
other surfaces.

it passes through tubes and the compressor hum
clicking on and off, are normal.
