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 eating 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 eating 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 hazards
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

English
Temperature Control Dial (fig. 1)
• The temperature control dial has settings from “0” 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.
• Turning the temperature control dial to “0” will stop the
cooling cycle but will not shut OFF the power.
Note: If you unplug or turn OFF the freezer, wait at least 4 minutes
before restarting or plugging it in again.
Temperature Alarm System
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 peri-
od of 24 hours. The temperature alarm is activated at 15.8˚F. Once activated, the
built-in audible alarm system will signal a warning 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. Close
the door, push and turn the key to lock. Push and turn the key in the opposite

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 scouring
pads to clean any part of the freezer.
For efficient operation, dirt and dust should be removed from the rear and bottom
of your freezer every 3 months.
• Turn the temperature control dial to "0" 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 attachment.
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 "0", 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 evaporator shelves.
English
12
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 temperature
control dial to the OFF position and disconnect the power cord from 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.
English
13
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.
