INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Use two or more people to move and install your appl iance.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

ALLOW APPLIANCE TO SIT UPRIGHT FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE TURNING
ON, TO ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT TO DRAIN.

1. Remove packaging materials.

2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the
appliance. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry.

3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can
damage the surface of your appliance.

4. When Moving Your Appliance:
Your appliance is heavy. When moving the appliance for cleaning or
service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the appliance straight
out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the appliance when trying
to move it, because floor damage can occur.

5. Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of
your appliance before using it. See cleaning instru ctio ns in Appliance
Care.

6. Some upright models have leveling legs. Level as neces sar y for best
operation.

back of the appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models also
have rear leveling legs that can provide more precise leveling).

3. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.

Note: If your model is equipped with front rollers, the front legs should be

lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the
appliance does not roll forward when th e door is opened.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.

• If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".

• Keep doors open a minimum of time, and shut securely.

APPLIANCE CARE

(including models beginning with SCFF, SCFR , SCUR, SCUF)

Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your appliance. Frost is
removed by air moving and c ollecting any moistur e and depositing it on the
cooling coil. The cooling coil per iodically warms up enough to melt the f rost,
and the water the n f lows d own t o the dr ain pa n (l oc ated be hind t he b ase gr i ll )
where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at leas t once a year.

1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.

2. Remove al l substances.

3. Wash the inside walls wit h a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2

tbs (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm wat er.

• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,

scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on
plastic parts , interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch
or damage surfac es.

4. Rinse wel l and wipe dry with a cl ean soft cloth.

5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the exter ior finish.

Painted metal: W ash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in war m water. Do not use abras ive or harsh cleaner s,
or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, appl y appliance wax (or auto paste wax) wit h a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.

6. Plug in appl iance or reconnect power.

Your appliance will not operate:

• Has a household fuse bl o w n or circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

• Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)?

Recheck to see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your
freezer will r egularly run an automat ic defrost cycle.

There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models):

• Is the freezer defrosting?

The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip i nto the defrost pan.

• Is it more humid than normal?

When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer
to evaporate.

The motor seems to run too much:

• Is there excessive frost or a package preven ting the door fro m

closing?
Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the package so the door closes
properly.

• Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

The motor will run longer under warm c onditions. At norm al room
temperatures, the motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, it will run even more.

• Has a large amount of food just been added to the freezer?

Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. The motor normally will
run longer to cool t he freezer back down.

• Is the door closed com pletely?

Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see The door will
not close completely later in this section.

• Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?

This prevents heat transfer and makes the motor work harder . Clean the
condenser coils.

• Is the door gasket seal ed all the way around?

If not, contact a qualified technici an.

Note: If the probl em is not due to any of the abov e, remember that the

compressor on your new appliance will operate longer than you r old one
due to its high-efficiency motor.
