B.Safety Lock (if provided)
C.Gasket
D.Separator (if provided)
E.Defrost water drain plug
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators, are still dangerous, even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Defrosting and Cleaning Your
Freezer
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliance.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about 1/4" (0.6 cm) thickness, and thoroughly defrost and clean your freezer at least once a year. In high-humidity areas, a freezer may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.
NOTE: The drain cap must be removed before defrosting the freezer and replaced securely afterward.
1.Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2.Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler, additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
3.Remove the drain cover (E) by pulling it straight out. Then insert the hose adapter (provided) into the drain outlet. Remove the plastic cap from inside the bottom of the freezer. Place the Separator pan (D), or a drain pan, under the drain, or attach a hose to the threaded end of the hose adapter and direct the water into a separate drain.
NOTE Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water : overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.
4.Place pans of hot water in freezer with lid open to speed melting. Directing air from an electric fan into freezer will also help. Do not place fan or any electrical device in freezer.
5.Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.
NOTE Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed: tool to defrost freezer. Damage can occur.
6.Wipe water from walls with a towel or sponge.
7.Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt. (0.95 L) warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
8.Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
9.Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water to clean outside of freezer, door liner, and gasket.
10.Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
11.Wax painted metal surfaces on the outside of freezer to avoid rust.
NOTE Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may damage: them.
12.Remove the hose adapter and replace the drain cover and the plastic cap in the bottom of the freezer.
13.Replace all frozen food.
14.If your freezer is equipped with a temperature alarm, turn off alarm for 24 hours after defrosting.
15.Plug in freezer or reconnect power. See “Using the Control.”
Changing the Light Bulbs (on some models)
To Replace Interior Light:
1.Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2.Pinch top and bottom of light cover with both hands.
3.Replace bulb with a 15 W maximum appliance bulb.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
4.Align bottom of cover and snap top of cover in place.
5.Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Moving Care
When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1.Remove all frozen food.
2.Unplug the freezer.
3.Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
4.Clean the freezer thoroughly.
5.Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to the “Installing Your Freezer” and “Operating Your Freezer” sections for information on installation and setting the controls.

INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER
Unpacking
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
Unpack the appliance.
Remove the 5 spacers inserted between the door and the appliance.
Make sure the defrost drain plug (if provided) is correctly positioned.
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 “Maintenance and Care” section.
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliance.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Ventilation and Clearance
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer.
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, and tablecloths. This reduces air circulation.
Allow at least a 2.75" (7.0 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2.75" (7.0 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
Temperature
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). Place your freezer in a location where the temperature will fall between the low and high recommended temperatures.
Upon Moving to Final Location
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.
NOTE: It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, contact a designated service company.
Electrical Requirements
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 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 A or 20 A 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 0 (align circle on knob with desired number), as shown, to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
Switching on the Appliance
The appliance is factory set for optimum operation at a temperature of 0°F (-18°C).
Plug in the appliance.
The green LED lights up.
