SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When

using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions,

including the following:

1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this

use and care guide.

2. This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in

the installation section.

3. This appliance should not be recessed or built into an enclosed

cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

4. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

5. Repair or replace immediately, all electrical service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector

end.

6. If your old appliance is not being used, we recommend that you

remove the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the

possibility of danger to children.

7. When your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in

the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

8. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69

reads:

"…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still

contain ice crystals or if they are still cold - below 40˚F."

"…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or

off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice

cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."

"…Even partial thawing and re-freezing may reduce the eating quality

of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eat-

ing quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods.

Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eat-

ing quality as you can."

Proper Location

To ensure that your upright freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was

designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air

circulation and electrical connections.

• The freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be

built-in.

• Allow a minimum of 2 inch on each side and above the top of the freezer to

ease installation and allow proper air circulation.

• Be sure to install your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the

unit when fully loaded.

• Occasionally, there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms

or other causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a

power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug the

power cord into the AC outlet.

Power Interruptions

Grounding Instructions

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. In the event of an

electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing

an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord

containing a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted

into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

• Improper use of the plug may result in the risk of electric shock.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (grounding) prong

from the power cord.

• Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions are

not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the appliance has been

properly grounded.

Electrical Connection

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-

ards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension

cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding

plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating

of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical

rating of the appliance.

Use of Extension Cords

Temperature Control Dial (fig. 1)

• The temperature control dial has settings from “1” to “7”

with “1” being the warmest and “7” being the coldest.

• Initially, set the temperature control dial at “4”.

• After the freezer has been turned ON for 24 hours, adjust

the temperature control dial to the setting that best suits

your needs.

Note: If you unplug or turn OFF the freezer, wait at

least 4 minutes before restarting or plugging it in again.

When turning ON your freezer, the temperature alarm system switch should be at

the “O” position. Put it in the “-“ position once the freezer has been ON for a

period of 24 hours. The temperature alarm is activated at 15.8˚F. Once

activated, the built-in audible alarm system will signal a warning of high

temperature to you. The alarm will continue to sound until you turn OFF the

temperature alarm switch. A red light will also warn you that the temperature

alarm system has been activated.

Lock and Key (fig. 2)

Your freezer has a lock and key feature to secure the contents of the freezer.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• The fan circulating air inside the interior of the unit maintains the

temperature you have selected.

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations are the result of the

refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.

• Sizzling or popping sounds result from frost melting during the

automatic defrost cycle and dripping onto the defrost heater.

• The sound of dripping water occurs as ice melts from the evaporator

and flows into the drip pan during the defrost cycle.

• Cracking or popping sounds are caused by the expansion and/or

contraction of the cooling coils during the defrost cycle.

• Both the defrost timer and the thermostat controls will click when they

cycle ON and OFF.

Proper Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the freezer with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Use only

mild soapy water to clean the door gasket. Never use harsh cleansers or scour-

ing pads to clean any part of the freezer.

For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be removed from the rear and bot-

tom of your freezer every 3 months.

• Turn the temperature control dial to "1" and unplug the freezer before cleaning.

• Carefully slide the freezer away from the wall slowly to avoid damaging the

floor.

• Wipe dust from the back of the freezer and the outside of the compressor com-

partment with a clean dry cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attach-

ment.

Note: Do not attempt to clean inside the compressor compartment.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside of the freezer at least twice a year. Turn the temperature control

dial to "1", unplug the freezer and remove all frozen items from the shelves.

Wash the inside with a solution of warm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons

of baking soda to one quart of water), then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use

cleaners such as harsh detergents, scouring powder or sprays containing bleach,

ammonia, or other chemicals that may cause odors inside the freezer or damage

the protective coating on the shelves.

12

English

Frost Free

Your freezer is frost-free. No defrosting is required as it is factory preset to

automatically defrost.

Extended Non-Use and Moving

Extended Non-Use

For long vacations or absences, empty food from the freezer, move the

the wall outlet. Clean the freezer and door gaskets according to the Proper Care

and Cleaning section. Prevent odors from forming by placing an open box of

baking soda in the freezer and propping the door open to allow air to circulate

inside.

Moving the Freezer

When transporting the freezer, it should be kept in an upright position. If the

freezer is inadvertently tilted beyond 45 degrees or was laid down horizontally

for any reason (e.g., shipping), the unit must not be operated for at least 24

hours. It must be placed in the upright position for 24 hours to allow the internal

oil and refrigerant to stabilize in the system. Ignoring this precautionary measure

may result in damage to the sealed system and compressor.

Freezer does not operate.

• The unit may not be plugged in.

• The circuit breaker may have tripped or the fuse may have been

blown.

Compressor seems to run continuously or more often than

necessary.

• The door may have been left open or there may be a leak in the

door gasket.

• Frequent door openings allow cold air to escape, thus forcing the

compressor to cycle ON more often.

• Air is not circulating freely around the appliance due to installation in

an area with little or no clearance. Slide the appliance out of the

confined area and vacuum around the rear and bottom to improve

air circulation.

Freezer compartment has an odor.

• Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Interior may require cleaning.

• Keep an open box of baking soda in the freezer to absorb odors and

replace as needed.

Foods are not sufficiently frozen.

• The temperature setting is not high enough.

• The door has been left open for an extended period of time or there

may be a leak in the door gasket.

• Overloaded shelves are preventing effective circulation of cold air.
