please follow the instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer:

Ŷ Take off the freezer lid.

Ŷ Leave the baskets in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

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.

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.

In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about

twice a year.

To remove frost, scrape with a plastic or wood spatula or

scraper.

Do not use an ice pick, metal, or sharp-edged

instrument as it may damage or scratch the freezer.

Do not use boiling water as it may damage the freezer.

Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your

freezer.

For Complete Defrosting

Pull out the drain plug about 1" (2.5 cm) until the

drain hole on the plug shows completely. Turn the

drain plug clockwise until the arrow is pointed down.

Care And Cleaning

Cleaning Your Freezer

ŶOutside. Protect the paint finish. The finish on the

outside of the freezer is a high quality, baked-on paint

finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and

rust-free for years. Apply a coat of appliance polish

wax when the freezer is new and then at least twice a

year. Appliance polish wax also works well to remove

tape residue from freezer surfaces.

Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth

lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild

Problem Possible Causes What To Do

Moisture forms on

outside of cabinet

Not unusual during periods of

high humidity.

Wipe surface dry.

Lid 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.

Lid won’t fully close by

itself

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

Slow starting time after

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

Excessive frost buildup Lid left open. Check to see if package is holding lid open.

Too frequent or too long lid

openings.

Open the lid 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 (16.7° C) 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

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.

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

Lid is kept open too long, or is

opened too frequently.

Open the lid 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.

minimum les risques de chocs électriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par un

électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est

correctement mise à la terre.
