Installation instructions
REMOVE PACKING
MATERIALS:
Remove materials, tape and labels
before using the freezer.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive
cleaners. These can damage the
material.
Clean your freezer before using it:
1. Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel
and mild detergent in warm water to
clean outside and inside of freezer,
door liner and gasket.
2. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CHOOSE FREEZER
LOCATION:
1. Locate the freezer in a safe place,
indoors, away from direct sunlight or
heat sources such as a range, dish-
washer, laundry equipment, heat
vents or radiator.
2. DO NOT store flammables such as
gasoline near the freezer.
3. Check the strength of the floor. It
should hold the weight of a fully
loaded freezer.
4. Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) on all sides to
allow for proper air circulation around
the freezer.
5. If the freezer is to be against a wall, you
might want to leave extra space on the
hinge side so the lid can be opened
wider.
6. If the location selected for your freezer
is damp or moist, as in some base-
ments, place freezer on wooden
blocks (at least 2 or 3 boards under
the entire length of the freezer are
needed for adequate support).
7. The freezer must be level for proper
operation.
8. DO NOT install the freezer on a car-
peted floor.
9. This freezer is designed to operate at a
household temperature of 40° to 90° F
(4° to 32° C).
Important safety
information
This appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection
against possible electrical shock hazards.
It must be plugged into a grounding
receptacle. Where a standard two-prong-
wall receptacle is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle. Do not under any circum-
stances, cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. Do not use an
adapter plug.

Temperature control
NOTE: If the freezer is laid on its side
during shipping or transport, place the
freezer upright and wait 12 hours before
plugging it in. This prevents damage to
the freezer.
Temperature control
knob
The temperature control knob
is located on the outside of
the freezer cabinet on the
lower right side. To adjust
the temperature control,
place a flat-bladed screw-
driver or coin into slot and
turn to the desired setting.
The freezer temperature control uses a
range of settings from 0 to 7. When set at
zero the freezer is OFF–it does not cool
or maintain a cool temperature. Setting 1
is the warmest temperature setting and
setting 7 is the coldest.
Adjusting the control:
1. Set household thermometer snugly
between frozen packages or place
thermometer in a glass of vegetable
oil, placed in freezer (vegetable oil will
not freeze).
• Thermometer should be designed for
use with freezer.
• Thermometer should read tempera-
tures ranging from -5° to 50° F
(-21° to 10° C).
2. Wait 5 to 8 hours.
3. Check temperature.
• Temperature should read 0° F (-18° C)
or slightly below.
4. If temperature is not in range, adjust
control only one number at a time.
• Turn the control to a higher number if
a colder temperature is desired.
• Turn the control to a lower number if a
less cold temperature is desired.
5. Wait an additional 24 hours and
recheck temperature.
Initial control setting:
1. Set the freezer control on 4.
2. Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours
before filling with frozen food. Let the
freezer cool overnight before adding
large amounts of unfrozen food.
Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds of
unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer
space.
3. 24 hours after adding food, adjust
control as desired.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started,
the compressor will run constantly until
the cabinet is cooled. This may take up to
6-8 hours or longer, depending on room
temperature and the number of times the
freezer is opened.
The outside of your freezer may feel
warm. This is normal. The freezer’s
design and main function is to remove the
heat from packages and air space inside
the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air, so the outside of the freezer may
feel warm.
To prevent child entrapment keep key
out of reach of children and away from
freezer.
WARNING
Door lock
(SELECT MODELS)
To use the door lock:
1. Insert key into lock approximately
1
⁄4
"
(6 mm).
2. Turn key clockwise to lock freezer and
counterclockwise to unlock.
Once locked or unlocked, the lock will
push the key out, preventing the key from
being kept in the lock.

Custom features
Sliding basket(s)
(SELECT MODELS)
Some freezer models
feature one or two sliding
baskets.
Baskets can be used to organize the
freezer by containing small, hard to stack
items. Baskets also aid in keeping cooler
air in the freezer by allowing quick, easy
access to frequently used items. Baskets
rest freely on the freezer liner and can be
adjusted to the left or right for personal
preference.
Temperature monitor
alarm
(SELECT MODELS)
Some freezer models feature a tempera-
ture monitor that provides an audible
alarm. The temperature monitor alarm is
located near the temperature control.
The alarm sounds if the temperature in
the freezer rises 10° F (12° C) or more
above normal for selected setting. Alarm
may sound if temperature control dial is
turned to a much colder setting or if a
large amount of unfrozen food is added at
one time. Alarm is controlled by a three
position switch.
Interior light
(SELECT MODELS)
The interior light illuminates whenever the
freezer lid is opened. The light bulb is a
15-watt appliance bulb. The light is
designed and tested to provide illumina-
tion while minimizing heat generated if
the lid is accidentally left ajar. To replace
the interior light, see the Hints and Care
section.
Po wer light
(SELECT MODELS)
The power light normally will be “ON.” Its
purpose is to warn you when there is a
power absence. If for any reason the
power to the freezer is interrupted (blown
fuse, loose plug, etc.) the indicator light
will be “OFF.”
• 0 = OFF prevents alarm from sounding
when freezer is warm, such as during
initial start-up or defrosting.
• ✓ = TEST sounds alarm regardless of
temperature. Alarm system should be
tested at least once a month.
• 1 = ON is proper setting for normal
freezer use. Return switch to 1 after
defrosting.
The presence of the light does not
indicate proper food temperatures, or
proper operation of the refrigeration
system.

mold/mildew growth.
WARNING
Manual defrost freezers need to be
defrosted when frost has accumulated to
approximately
1
⁄4
" (6 mm) of thickness.
Complete defrosting and cleaning should
be done at least once a year. In high
humidity areas, more frequent defrosting
and cleaning may be necessary. The
upper section of the freezer will generally
have more frost accumulation than the
lower. Frost should not be scraped or
pulled out of the freezer, as damage may
result.

Freezing guidelines
Freezer burn?
Freezer burn occurs when air reaches the
surface of the food. The cold, dry air in the
freezer causes the foodstuff to dry out in
spots and lose quality. While freezer burn
may not taste good, it does not make the
food unsafe. Freezer burned portions
should be cut away either before or after
cooking the food.
Color changes
Color changes can occur in frozen foods.
This can cause ground beef to go from a
bright, red to a darker, duller brown due
to lack of oxygen. Freezing normally
doesn’t cause color changes in poultry,
but it will cause changes to the color near
the bones resulting in ‘bone darkening’.
These changes are only visual changes
and do not indicate poor quality or unsafe
food.
freezing facts
Maytag provides this information as a
guide to aid in food preservation. For spe-
cific questions regarding food handling,
cooking, or storage contact USDA Meat
and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555.
• You can freeze almost any food, the
main exceptions being eggs still in the
shell and cans of foods.
• Frozen food kept at 0° F (-18° C) or
slightly below will always be safe. Only
the quality of food suffers over time.
• It is safe to freeze meat or poultry
directly in supermarket wrapping. This
wrapping is air permeable which allows
freezer burn, so the meat should be
used within one to two months.
• Freeze foods as quickly as possible.
This prevents large ice crystals from
forming which decreases food quality.
• Never stack packages to be frozen. Lay
packages out in a single layer and then
stack them after they are frozen.
• During a power outage, a full freezer
will normally keep 2 days, a half full
freezer about 1 day. Food should be
stacked tightly to provide a nest of cold
air–resisting thawing.
• As a general guideline, food 2" thick
should freeze completely in about
2 hours.
Defrosting foods
There are basic methods to defrost food
safely. Food should never be defrosted at
room temperature. This allows unsafe
bacteria to grow while the food is thawing.
To defrost safely use:
• Refrigerator: this allows the food to
thaw in an environment that controls
bacterial growth.
Most foods require a day or two to
defrost, approximately one day for
each 5 lbs. of weight.
• Cold water: place food in a leakproof
bag and immerse it in cold water (If bag
leaks, food will become contaminated
by bacteria). Check water frequently to
verify it stays cold. Change water every
thirty minutes. After thawing, refrigerate
the food until it is ready to use.
• Microwave: cook food immediately
after using a microwave to defrost food.
Microwave defrosting warms food and
can partially cook it, allowing bacteria
to grow as it defrosts. Food cannot be
refrozen until it is cooked.
11
Packaging
Proper packaging helps prevent freezer
burn, and helps limit odor transfer in the
freezer.
For short term storage, freeze meat or
poultry directly in supermarket wrapping.
This meat should be used within 1 to 2
months.
For long term storage, follow these wrap-
ping guidelines:
• Overwrap store wrapped packages
with airtight heavy duty foil, plastic
wrap, freezer paper or freezer bags.
• Freeze unopened vacuum wrapped
packages as they are.
• Make sure lids are sealed tightly when
using airtight freezer containers.
• Break down foods into smaller portions
for faster freezing.
• Remove as much air as possible from
packages before placing in the freezer.
• If a package has accidentally been torn
or damaged while in the freezer, the
food is still safe to eat. Just overwrap it
or repackage it.
• It is not necessary to rinse meat or
poultry before freezing.
Cooking frozen foods
Foods can be cooked or reheated directly
from the frozen state. The cooking time
will increase to almost one and a half
times it would normally take. Remember
when cooking poultry or meat to remove
paper wrapping, giblet sacks, and any
strings that might burn during cooking.
Some meats, such as pre-stuffed whole
birds, must be cooked from the frozen
state to ensure food safety. Remember to
read the USDA label on the meat.
NOTE: Do not use a slow cooker for
preparing foods from the frozen state.

AVERTISSEMENT
ATTENTION – risques ou pratiques non
sûres qui POURRAIENT résulter en

ATTENTION
Pour réduire le risque de blessure ou
même de mort, suivez les précautions
de base, y compris les suivantes :
IMPORTANT : Les risques d’enfermement
et d’étouffement d’un enfant dans un
congélateur n’ont pas disparu. Un
congélateur abandonné demeure
dangereux... même s’il ne reste ainsi
accessible « que pendant quelques jours ».
Lorsqu’on se débarrasse d’un vieux
congélateur, il faut appliquer les instructions
ci-dessous pour éviter tout accident.
Avant de jeter votre vieux congélateur :
➢ Démontez le couvercle.
➢ Laissez les clayettes
en place pour qu’un
enfant ne puisse pas
facilement s’introduire
dans le congélateur.
DANGER
RECONNAISSEZ LES
ÉTIQUETTES, PHRASES
OU SYMBOLES SUR LA
SÉCURITÉ
Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, choc électrique, blessure ou même la mort lors de l’utilisation du congélateur, suivez ces précautions
de base, y compris les suivantes :
AVERTISSEMENT
1. Lisez toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser le congélateur.
2. Respectez les prescriptions de tous les codes et règlements
locaux.
3. Observez les instructions de liaison à la terre.
4. En cas d’incertitude quant à la qualité de la liaison à la terre de
l’appareil, consultez un électricien qualifié.
5. N'utilisez PAS une canalisation de gaz pour la liaison à la terre.
6. N'utilisez PAS une tuyauterie d’eau froide pour la liaison à la terre.
7. Le congélateur est conçu pour être alimenté par un circuit
électrique de 115 V, 15 A, 60 Hz. Ce circuit devrait être mis à la
terre, indépendant, et ne devrait alimenter que cet appareil.
8. NE modifiez PAS la fiche du cordon électrique. Si la fiche ne
convient pas à la prise, demandez à un électricien qualifié
d’installer une prise appropriée.
9. N'utilisez PAS un adaptateur pour fiche de branchement à deux
broches, un câble de rallonge ou une barre de prises de courant.
10. N'enlevez PAS l’étiquette d’avertissement du cordon
d’alimentation.
11. N'interférez PAS avec les commandes du congélateur.
12. NE réparez ou NE remplacez JAMAIS un composant du congélateur,
sauf si ceci est spécifiquement recommandé dans le manuel de
l’utilisateur ou les instructions de réparation publiées à l’intention de
l’utilisateur. N'entreprenez PAS une intervention si l’intervenant ne
comprend pas parfaitement les instructions ou ne possède pas les
compétences nécessaires.
13. Veillez à toujours déconnecter le congélateur du circuit électrique
avant d’entreprendre une intervention. Pour débrancher, saisissez
la fiche – ne tirez pas sur le cordon.
14. Installez le congélateur conformément aux instructions
d’installation. Chaque raccordement (eau, électricité et liaison à la
terre) doit être conforme aux prescriptions des codes locaux, et
doit éventuellement être réalisé par un personnel professionnel.
15. Veillez à maintenir le congélateur en bon état. Les chocs ou chutes
peuvent susciter des dommages, des anomalies de
fonctionnement de l’appareil ou des fuites. En cas de dommages,
faites contrôler le congélateur par un technicien qualifié.
16. Remplacez la fiche de branchement ou le cordon d’alimentation en
cas d'usure.
17. Lisez et respectez les instructions du fabricant concernant
l’environnement idéal de conservation des produits placés dans le
congélateur.
18. N’utilisez pas de dispositif électrique ou d’instrument pointu pour
dégivrer votre congélateur.
19. Ne faites pas fonctionner le congélateur en présence de fumée
explosive.
20. Ne rangez pas de substances inflammables près de cet appareil
ou dans celui-ci.
21. Une fois que votre congélateur est en marche, ne touchez pas les
surfaces froides du compartiment congélateur, particulièrement
avec des mains humides ou mouillées. La peau risquerait
d’adhérer à ces surfaces extrêmement froides.
22. Ce congélateur ne doit pas être installé en retrait ou encastré dans
une armoire fermée. Il est conçu pour être installé seulement de
façon autonome.
23. Les enfants ne doivent pas grimper sur le congélateur, s’y
suspendre ou se tenir debout sur l’une de ses pièces.

Instructions d’installation
RETIREZ LE MATÉRIAU
D’EMBALLAGE:
Retirez les matériaux, rubans et étiquettes
avant d’utiliser le congélateur.
N’utilisez pas d’instruments pointus, d’alcool à
friction, de liquides inflammables ou de nettoy-
ants abrasifs. Ceux-ci pourraient endommager
l’appareil.
Nettoyez votre congélateur avant de l’utilis-
er :
1. À l’aide d’une éponge, d’un linge ou d’un
papier essuie-tout et d’eau tiède addition-
née de détergent doux, nettoyez l’intérieur
et l’extérieur du réfrigérateur, la doublure
de porte et le joint.
2. Rincez et séchez bien.
CHOIX DE L’EMPLACE-
MENT DU CONGÉLATEUR:
1. Choisissez un emplacement sûr, à l’in-
térieur, à l’écart de la lumière directe du
soleil ou de sources de chaleur comme
cuisinière, lave-vaisselle, machines de
lavage, évents de chaleur ou radiateurs.
2. N’entreposez PAS de produits inflammables
comme de l’essence, près du congélateur.
3. Vérifiez la solidité du sol. Il devrait soutenir-
le poids d’un congélateur entièrement
rempli.
4. Laissez au moins 7,5 cm (3 po) sur tous les
côtés pour permettre une bonne circulation
de l’air autour du congélateur.
5. Si le congélateur est contre un mur, vous
pouvez laisser un espace supplémentaire
sur le côté charnières pour que le couver-
cle puisse s’ouvrir plus largement.
6. Si l’emplacement choisi pour le congélateur
est humide, comme dans certains sous-
sols, placez le congélateur sur des blocs
en bois (au moins 2 ou 3 planches sous
toute la longueur du congélateur pour
obtenir un support adéquat).
7. Le congélateur doit être de niveau pour
assurer un bon fonctionnement.
8. N’installez PAS le congélateur sur un sol
recouvert de tapis ou de moquette.
9. Ce congélateur est conçu pour fonctionner à
une température domestique de 4 à 32 °C
(40 à 90 °F).
Instructions de sécu-
rité importantes
Cet appareil est doté d’une fiche de branche-
ment à 3 broches (pour liaison à la terre), ce
qui assure une protection adéquate contre les
risques de chocs électriques. On doit branch-
er l’appareil uniquement sur une prise de
courant reliée à la terre. Si la prise de courant
disponible ne comporte que deux alvéoles,
c’est au client qu’incombent la responsabilité
et l’obligation personnelle de la faire remplac-
er par une prise de courant à 3 alvéoles con-
venablement reliée à la terre. On ne doit
jamais, quelles que soient les circonstances,
couper ou arracher la troisième broche (liaison
à la terre) de la fiche de branchement. Il ne
faut jamais utiliser une fiche d’adaptation.
Cordon d’alimentation avec fiche de
branchement à trois broches.
