BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD FREEZER OR
REFRIGERATOR REMOVE THE DOORS OR LID.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
■Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
■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 freezer. For more information, see “Freezer Safety.”
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Freezer Care.”
Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.
LocationRequirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1.Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and 110°F (43°C).
2.Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator or other heat source.
3.Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
4.Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if necessary.
5.Allow at least a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
2" (5 cm)
3" (7.5 cm)
6.It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, contact a designated service company.
NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.

ElectricalRequirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
DefrostDrainCover
(onsomemodels)
1.Remove defrost drain cover from the literature package.
2.Push drain cover into drain hole as illustrated.
FREEZER USE
UsingtheControl
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. Do not add more than 2 to 3 lbs (0.907 to 1.360 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.
Style 1
To adjust the control:
■Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
■Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from the contents and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Indicator Light
The indicator light assures you that your freezer is running. If the indicator light is not glowing, immediately check for:
■Power interruption.
■An unplugged power cord.
■An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.
■A burned out indicator light.
To replace indicator light:
1.Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2.Gently snap out light cover and assembly with a screwdriver by inserting the edge of the screwdriver under the metal edge of the light cover.
3.Unplug burned out signal light and replace it with a new one.
NOTE: Indicator lights can be ordered from your designated service company.
4.Snap light cover and assembly into place.
5.Plug in freezer or reconnect power.

Style 2
To adjust the control:
■Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
■Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from the contents and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Temperature Alarm (on some models)
The temperature alarm is located above the temperature control and sounds an audible alarm if the temperature reaches 10°F (-12°C) or more above normal for the selected setting. The alarm is controlled by a three-position switch.
KeyEjectLock
(onsomemodels)
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting a replacement key.
SlidingBasket
Store small packages in the basket to avoid losing them in the bottom of the freezer. The basket can then be moved from side to side or it can be removed when loading or unloading the food below it.
To remove basket, lift it straight up and out. To replace basket, lower basket back into place.
0Keeps the alarm from sounding when the freezer is warm, such during start-up or defrosting.
Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.
