Leveling the Freezer
To ensure proper door sea! and optimum performance,
level freezer using the leveling legs located on its
bottom front corner.
Once your freezer is in the desired location, use a
carpenter's level and adjust the leveeing legs as
necessary to make sure the cabinet is levet side-to-
side.
Adjust the legs to achieve a 1/4 inch slope from
front-to-back (1/=bubble on a carpenter's level) to
provide easy door closure and proper door seat.
If the rear corners need to be raised, use shims
made of wood or other hard material. Cardboard
and other soft materials will not work.
Electrical Requirements
120 Volts, 60 Hz (60 cycles AC), 15 amps
DO NOT use an extension cord.
Select an electric wall outlet that cannot be turned
off by a switch or pull chain. Be sure that the elec-
tric outlet you select does net need a ceiling drop
cord.
Use a fuse or circuit-breaker protected circuit that
will not become overloaded when the freezer is
installed.
Electrical Grounding
Your freezer comes with a three-prong plug and must
be inserted into a three-prong, grounded wall outlet.
3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle _
WARNING: Unless the grounding method
described above is followed, you are not
protected against severe or lethal shock in
the event of the short circuit of the freezer's
wiring or electrical components.
Operation
Starting
The freezer temperature can be regulated by
adjusting the control. The evaporator forms the storage
shelves of the unit which provides consistent freezing
temperatures throughout the freezer. Freezer
temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food
stored and on the frequency of door openings.
Wait 4 hours before loading the freezer. It takes time to
reach storage temperature. During this time the freezer
may run constantly.
Maintenance
Defrosting
DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard. Discon-
nect power before defrosting.
You should defrost your freezer when the frost be-
comes 1/4 inch thick. Further accumulation will reduce
operating efficiency. How often you have to defrost
depends on the type and amount of food you freeze,
the temperature and humidity and the number of times
you open and close the freezer. The period between
defrosting can be extended by scraping frost every so
often with a plastic scraper.
Defrosting Steps
1. Turn the unit OFF.
2. Remove all food and place it in cardboard boxes or
wrap it in several thicknesses of newspaper, This
action will keep food safely frozen while you defrost
and clean your freezer.
3. Leave the door open and wait for frost to soften.
Place pans of hot water on the shelves or use an
electric fan blowing into the freezer to speed
defrosting. Do not use electric defrost devices as
they can damage the plastic parts of your freezer.
4. Remove soften frost with a plastic or wooden
scraper, or a cloth or sponge. CAUTION: NEVER
USE SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE FROST. They
could puncture freezing coils and severely damage
the refrigeration system.
5. Defrost water will accumulate in the bottom of the
interior cabinet which can be absorbed with a
sponge or towel.
6, Clean the inside of the freezer. Cleaning instruct-
ions are described below and on the permanent
use and care label on the inside of the freezer door.
7. Turn the unit back on and place the frozen foods
back inside the freezer.
Cleaning
• Use only mild soapy water to clean door gaskets.
• Turn off the freezer and remove foods. Wash interior
liner witha solution of warm water and two table-
spoons baking soda per one quart of water. Rinse
and wipe clean. DO NOT use soaps, detergents,
scouring powder, spray cleaner or the like for the
liner. They may create unwanted odors in the freezer.
• wash the exterior with detergent or soap and water.
RinSe well and wipe dry.
• DO NOT. use scouring powders or pads. Never use
acids, chemical thinner; gasoline, benzene, or the
like for cleaning any part of the freezer. Boiling water
and benzine may deform and damage plastic parts.
