IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■

■ This freezer must be properly installed and

located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

■

■ Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the freezer. They could damage

the freezer and seriously injure themselves.

■

■ After your freezer is in operation, do not touch

the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are

damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely

cold surfaces.

■

■ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

■

■ Unplug the freezer before cleaning, making

repairs or changing the light bulb.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

■

■ Turning the control to the OFF position does

not remove power to the light circuit on models

with interior light.

■

■ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

■

■ The maximum amount of food your freezer is

designed to freeze at one time is approximately

3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic foot of freezer

capacity. In normal position, your freezer’s

temperature control will maintain sufficiently

low temperatures in the freezer to freeze

recommended quantities of food.

■

■ Caution should be used when removing the door

of a freezer. Particular caution should be used

when removing the lid of a Chest freezer, as most

Chest freezer lids are under spring tension.

Contact the manufacturer’s representative for

a method of safe removal.

■

■ This product is UL471 recognized.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United

States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding

type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE FREEZER

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous…even

if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow

the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old

Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,

which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refrigeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, 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.

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.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the freezer away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Starting the Freezer

Clean the inside of the freezer with a mild solution of baking soda and water (see Care and Cleaning).

Connect cord to power outlet.

On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the switch to the OFF position.

Make sure the temperature control is set at 4.

Allow freezer to operate for at least four hours before placing food inside.

On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the switch to the ON position.

Temperature Monitor/High-Temp Alarm Switch

(on some models)

An alarm will sound if the freezer

temperature reaches unsafe levels.

The alarm operates on household

electricity. If the power fails, the alarm

will not perform.

An ON/OFF switch allows the temperature

alarm to be deactivated if desired. The

freezer is shipped with the switch in the

OFF position. After the freezer has run

long enough to lower the temperature,

you may set the switch to the ON position.

CAUTION: Adding more than 3 pounds (1.5 kg)

of warm food per cubic foot of freezer capacity

can trigger the alarm.

To activate the alarm, set the switch to the

ON position.

To deactivate the alarm, set the switch to the

OFF position.

Freezer Shelves (on some models)

The spacers (on some models) are used to

secure the shelves during shipping. Remove

and discard the spacers.

Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

Refrigerated Cabinet Shelves (on some models)

These shelves contain cooling coils to

freeze foods quickly and allow cold air

to constantly circulate throughout

the freezer.

Key-Ejecting Lock (on some models)

The key for the spring-loaded lock is

automatically ejected–key will not remain in

lock in either the open or closed position.

Keep the key out of reach of children and away

from the freezer.

Power-On Light (on some models)

The Power-On Light indicates that the

freezer is properly connected to the

electrical power.

The light glows even when the temperature

control is turned off.

Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions Installation Instructions

In most climates, defrosting will be

necessary only about twice a year.

To have your freezer operate most efficiently,

do not permit more than 1/2 ″ (13 mm) of

frost to accumulate on the shelves.

To remove frost, scrape with a plastic or

wood spatula or scraper.

Do not use an ice pick or sharp-edged

instrument as it may damage or scratch the

freezer.

Do not use any electrical device in

defrosting your freezer.

For Complete Defrosting

Turn the temperature control to OFF

and unplug the freezer.

Remove all food and place it in

corrugated boxes, insulated bags,

picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and

newspapers for insulation as needed.

With the door/lid open, use pans of

hot water to speed loosening of frost.

Remove large pieces before they melt.

On models without a defrost drain,

place towels or newspapers on the

freezer bottom to catch the frost. The

frost will loosen and fall. Remove towels

and/or newspapers.

a. Some Upright models have a hose

adapter and a drain hose behind the

base grille which carry the defrost

water out from the freezer. Remove

the base grille; then remove the drain

plug and let the defrost water drain

into a pan.

To remove the base grille (on some

models), use a screwdriver to press the

tab toward the center of the grille, then

pull the grille away from the cabinet.

b. Some Chest models have a defrost

water drain at the front and a hose

adapter that is packaged in a bag in

the bottom of the freezer. Remove

the drain cap on the front of the

freezer, insert the hose connector

and attach the hose. Remove the

drain plug inside the cabinet.

NOTE: Water may drip from the

back flange of the lid cover during

defrosting. This is normal. Ice builds

up in the lid insulation when the lid is

open for adding or removing food,

and melts during the defrosting

operation.

Sponge excess water from the bottom

of the freezer as it collects to prevent

overflowing.

After defrosting, clean the inside of the

freezer (see Care and Cleaning).

a. On Upright models, be sure to

replace the drain plug and return the

drain tube to its position. Replace the

base grille.

b. On Chest models, replace the drain

plug inside the cabinet and the cap

on the defrost drain. Fold over and

dry the gasket on the hinge side of

the lid.

Plug in the freezer. Return the

temperature control to its previous

position and return food to the freezer.

Care and cleaning of the freezer.

Cleaning Your Freezer

■ 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 liquid dishwashing

detergent. Dry and polish with a clean,

soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with

a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel.

Do not use scouring pads, powdered

cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing

bleach.

CAUTION: Care should be taken in moving the

freezer away from the wall. All types of floor

coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned

coverings and those with embossed surfaces.

■ Inside. Clean the inside of your freezer at

least once a year. We recommend that the

freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If

this is not practical, wring excess moisture

out of sponge or cloth when cleaning in

the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda

solution–about a tablespoon of baking

soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly

with water and wipe dry. Do not use

cleaning powders or other abrasive

cleaners.

An open box of baking soda in the

freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.

Change the box every three months.

No Defrosting (on No-Frost models)

You never have to defrost your new

No-Frost freezer. It has been pre-set at

the factory to defrost itself automatically.

Package labels always remain clearly legible,

and packages will remain easy to separate

and remove.

During defrosting, a slight noise may be

noticed if the door is opened while the

freezer is in the automatic defrosting cycle.

To Remove the Freezer Door (on Upright models)

Remove the plastic hinge cover by

either lifting it off or folding it back

(depending on model).

Remove the screws holding the hinge

to the top of the cabinet using a

screwdriver, 5/16″ socket driver or

wrench (depending on model).

Remove the top hinge from the cabinet

and lift the door up and off the lower

hinge pin. Set the door aside.

Remove the two screws from the bottom

hinge.

To replace the doors, reverse the order of

the above instructions.

CAUTION: It is very important that all hinge screws

are securely tightened to ensure a secure assembly

and prevent hinge slippage.

Preparing for Vacation

To maintain freezer in operation during

vacations, be sure your house power is not

turned off. For sure protection of freezer

contents, you may want to ask a neighbor

to check the power supply and freezer

operation every 48 hours.

For extended vacations or absences, you

may prefer to move your frozen foods to a

storage locker temporarily. If your freezer is

to be left empty, disconnect power cord

plug from wall outlet. To prevent formation

of odors, place open box of baking soda in

freezer and leave freezer door/lid open.

When the freezer is not operating, it can be

left in an unheated house or room without

damage to cabinet or mechanism.

Preparing to Move

Disconnect the power cord plug from

the wall outlet. Remove foods, defrost

(on Manual Defrost models) and clean

the freezer.

Secure all loose items such as grille and

shelves by taping them securely in place

to prevent damage.

Be sure freezer stays in upright position

during actual moving and in van. The

freezer must be secured in van to prevent

movement. Protect outside of freezer

with blanket.

In Case of Extended Power Failure

■ Keep freezer door/lid closed. Your

freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours

provided warm air is not admitted.

■ If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours

or more, add dry ice. Leave ice in large

pieces. Add more ice as required.

WARNING: Handling of dry ice can cause

freezing of the hands—gloves or other protection

is recommended.

■ If dry ice is not available, move food to a

frozen food locker temporarily—until

power is restored.

Troubleshooting Tips

Installation Instructions Safety InstructionsOperating Instructions

Preparing to install the freezer.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Freezer Location

Your freezer should be conveniently located for

day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room.

Do not install the freezer where the temperature

will go below 0°F or above 110°F, because it will

not maintain proper temperatures.

Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong

enough to support it when it is fully loaded.

The freezer must be solidly positioned on the floor

if it is to function at its best. Shims may be used to

accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven.

If the place selected for the freezer is damp or

moist, place 2 X 4’s (51 mm X 102 mm) under its

entire length to assure adequate support.

Clearances

On all models, allow 3″ (76 mm) on top, back and

sides for proper air circulation.

Adjustable Legs (on Upright models)

Legs at the front corners of the freezer

should be set so the freezer is firmly

positioned on the floor, and the front is

raised just enough so the door closes easily

when opened about halfway.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ

Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil électrique, observez toujours les mesures de sécurité de base,

y compris les suivantes.

■

■ Installez le congélateur conformément aux

directives d’installation avant de l’utiliser.

■

■ Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,

se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes du

congélateur. Ils pourraient endommager le

congélateur et se blesser gravement.

■

■ Après la mise en route du congélateur, ne

touchez pas les surfaces froides de celui-ci,

surtout si vous avez les mains humides ou

mouillées. La peau risque d’adhérer à ces

surfaces très froides.

■

■ N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou

autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables à

proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre

appareil électroménager.

■

■ Débranchez votre congélateur avant de le

nettoyer ou de le réparer, et avant de remplacer

l’ampoule.

REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons vivement de

confier toute réparation à un technicien qualifié.

■

■ Lorsque vous réglez la commande sur OFF

(éteint), le courant alimentant le circuit

électrique de l’ampoule n’est pas coupé sur

les modèles avec une lampe intérieure.

■

■ Ne recongelez pas les aliments surgelés qui

ont complètement dégelé.

■

■ La quantité maximum d’aliments que vous

pouvez placer d’un seul coup dans votre

congélateur est environ 3 livres (1,5 kg) par

pied cube de volume intérieur. Au réglage

normal, la commande de température de votre

congélateur maintiendra une température

suffisamment basse pour la congélation de la

quantité recommandé d’aliments.

■

■ Soyez prudent lorsque vous enlevez la porte

d’un congélateur. Soyez particulièrement

prudent lorsque vous enlevez le couvercle d’un

congélateur coffre puisque la plupart de ceux-ci

sont à ressort. Communiquez avec un

représentant du fabricant pour connaître

la meilleure méthode d’enlèvement.

■

■ Ce produit est reconnu par la norme UL471.
