Guide

To help you get the most from your

new freezer

Before you freeze the first apple

pie, you will want to know all about your new Whirlpool freezer. That’s what this Use and Care Guide is all about. It tells you how to start it, fill it, clean it... even what to do if anything goes wrong. See handy Self-service Check List on back page of simple problems you can

yourself without the wasted time

and possible expense of a need-

less service call. After all, who

needs a service technician to

plug back in an electric cord

that’s been accidentally

pulled out?

Before you use your

freezer

It is your personal responsibility to make sure that your new freezer:

Is installed by a qualified

installer.

Has been installed where it is

protected from the elements.

Has been installed in a level area on a floor that is strong enough to support the weight.

Energy saving tips

Check door or lid gaskets for tightness of seal. If freezer has a lock, keeping it locked can help insure door closure and good seal. Level cabinet properly to assure a good door seal.

Keep door openings to a minimum. Remove as many items at one time as possible.

Keep ioods organized to eliminate searching.

Fill to capacity. However, do not add too much unfrozen food at one time. Follow recommended loading procedures.

Frost should not build up to more than %-inch (6 mm) thick

(reduces efficiency).

Set cold control to provide the

right degree of cold

temperature. Temperature

should be about 0°F [ -22°C). There is no need to store foods below 0°F.

Do not locate freezer next to or near a heat source, such as a

range, water heater, furnace,

etc.

[See booklet, How to

Preserve Foods the Modern Way with Your WHIRLPOOL Freezer, for complete information and tips on home freezing.)

Before starting

your freezer -

1. locate it properly - For top performance, locate your freezer in a cool, dry, well-

ventilated place out of direct

sunlight and away from such heat sources as radiators. Pick a

safe place, indoors, away from

inflammables such as gasoline. For proper air circulation allow at least two inches (5 cm] of air space at the back and three inches (7.5 cm) at the sides of the freezer. Do not cover the freezer with such items as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. Check the strength of the floor, make certain it can support the weight of the freezer when it is loaded. It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, see your authorized WHIRLPOOL dealer.

Remove the defrost drain cover from the literature package,

located inside your freezer. Install that cover, as shown on Page I.

2. Keep it level - Level freezer from end to end and from front to back so that the lid will seal

properly. With the lid open, lay a spirit level on the edge of the freezer at the end and the front of the cabinet. If it is necessary to level cabinet, use wood shims. Do not use cardboard or other soft material.

3. Cleaning - Before starting, wash the interior with a solution of two tablespoons (26 g] of baking soda to one quart (.95 L) of warm water. Rinse and dry. Wash outside of freezer with warm water and mild soap or detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry.

NOTE: Do not use an abrasive or harsh cleanser. Cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches and cleansers containing petroleum

products should not be used to clean plastic parts of the freezer.

To start freezer

Electrical Connection -Your freezer should be connected to

its own individual receptacle,

one not controlled by a wall switch. Make sure the

receptacle provides 120 volt, 15 amp, 60 Hz AC current. For your safety, the power supply cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug.

It should be plugged into a

matching grounded three-

pronged type wall receptacle. Attach retaining clip for cord

plug. Do not remove the ground

prong. See electrical require-

ments and grounding instructions sheet for complete

information.

Set cold control - Insert a coin

in the slot of the control to turn

it. To start turn cold control to

Number 3. This position will maintain zero zone temperatures

under normal operating conditions. Turn the cold control to a higher number for colder temperatures or a lower

number for less cold temperatures.

let freezer cool before filling Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours

before filling with frozen food. Let it cool overnight before

adding a quantity of food to be

frozen.

NOTE: When freezer first starts, the motor will run all the time until the cabinet is cooled to a safe storage temperature. This first cooling may to ke 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending upon the weather and number of times the freezer lid is opened. After the cabinet is cooled, the motor turns off. It will then turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at a safe storage temperature.

Kev eiect lock

Your freezer is equipped with a

key eject lock which can help

reduce the hazard of child entrapment. To lock or unlock the freezer it is necessary to manually hold the key in the

lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded so the key cannot be left in the lock. If key is lost, a replacement can be obtained from your dealer or a Whirlpool TECH-CARE ’ service agent. Always give complete model and serial numbers of your freezer when requesting a

replacement key.

Taking care of your freezer

Defrosting and cleaning When frost has built up to about

X-inch (6 mm) thickness, it is time to defrost. Use a plastic scraper.

Do not use an ice pick, knife or other sharp-pointed tool as it could damage the liner of the freezer.
