PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

'RQRWXVHDQDGDSWHU

The freezer should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply

cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a qualified service professional with an

authorized service part from the manufacturer.

When moving the freezer away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

When the freezer is not operating, it can be left in an

unheated house or room without damage to cabinet or

mechanism.

Save Money/Save Energy

Ŷ The freezer should be located in the

coolest area of the room, away from

heat-producing appliances or heating

ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

Ŷ Let hot foods cool to room

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Problem Possible Causes What to Do

Moisture forms on outside of

cabinet

Not unusual during periods of high

humidity.

Wipe surface dry.

Door may not be seating properly,

causing cold air from inside the

freezer to meet warm moist air

from the outside.

See Preparing to install the freezer.

Interior light does not work No power at outlet. Replace fuse or reset the breaker.

Freezer is unplugged. Push the plug completely into the outlet.

LED light burned out. 5HSODFHWKH/('

Door won’t fully close by itself Legs need adjusting. See Preparing to install the freezer.

Package holding door open. Move package to a different location.

Slow starting time after being off Built-in overload protection. This is normal after being off.

Excessive frost buildup Door left open. Check to see if package is holding door

open.

Too frequent or too long door

openings.

Open the door less often.

Not unusual during periods of high

humidity.

Wipe surface dry.

Freezer external surface

temperature is warm

The external freezer walls can be

as much as 30°F warmer than

room temperature.

This is normal while the compressor

works to transfer heat from inside the

freezer cabinet.

Louder sound levels whenever

freezer is on

Modern freezers have increased

storage capacity and more stable

temperatures. They require a high-

efficiency compressor.

This is normal. When the surrounding

noise level is low, you might hear the

compressor running while it cools the

interior.

Higher sound levels when

compressor comes on

Freezer operates at higher

pressures during the start of the

ON cycle.

This is normal. Sound will level off or

disappear as freezer continues to run.

Popping or cracking sound when

compressor comes on

Metal parts undergo expansion and

contraction, as in hot water pipes.

This is normal. Sound will level off or

disappear as freezer continues to run.

Bubbling or gurgling sound, like

boiling water

Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is

circulating throughout the system.

This is normal.

Moisture forms on inside freezer

walls

Weather is hot and humid, which

increases internal rate of frost

buildup.

This is normal.

Door may not be seating properly. See Preparing to install the freezer.

Door is kept open too long, or is

opened too frequently.

Open the door less often.

Odors in freezer Interior needs to be cleaned. Clean interior with sponge, warm water

and baking soda.

Foods with strong odors are in the

freezer.

Cover the food tightly.

Normal Operating Characteristics

Ŷ A warm cabinet exterior as the refrigeration system

transfers heat from the inside to the outside through

the exterior cabinet walls.

Ŷ The sound of the high-efficiency compressor motor.

Ŷ The sound of water dripping as it melts from the

evaporator and escapes to the drain pan during defrost

cycle.

Ŷ The sound of the fan circulating air within the interior

of the cabinet providing a consistent temperature

throughout.
