gerous...even it they will

“just sit in the garage a
few days.”

If you are getting rid

of your old freezer, do if

safely. Please read fhe
enclosed safety book
let from the Association

of Home Appliance

Using your freezer

Key Eject Lock...

Cooling Freezer First...

• Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling
with frozen food.

• Let it cool overnight before adding large

amount of unfrozen food.

Nofe: When freezer is first started the compressor

will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It

may take up to 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 freezer at

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 packages and air space

inside the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air so the walls of the freezer may be warm.

Sliding Basket...

can be moved from side to side when load
ing or unloading food below it. The basket also
can be lifted out of the freezer completely.

The key eject lock can help reduce the hazard

of child entrapment.

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 WHIRLPOOL dealer

fora replacement.
