Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom corners
resting firmly on a solid floor. If needed add
metal or wood shims between the appliance
and the floor. The floor must be strong enough
to support a fully loaded unit.
This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide.
Before starting the unit, follow
these important first steps.
Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet.
For the most efficient operation, the appliance
should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C).
Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will
NOT affect operation. Additional compressor
heaters are not recommended.
Allow space around the unit for good air
circulation. Leave a 4 inch (101.6 mm) space
on all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.
FIRST STEPS
Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts of the appliance
interior and exterior with mild detergent and
warm water. Wipe dry.
DO NOT USE HARSH
CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any
glue left from the tape can be removed with
a mixture of warm water and mild detergent
or the residue can be touched with the
sticky side of tape already removed.
DO
NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Defrost Drain
The defrost drain provides a method of
draining the water during defrosting and
cleaning. See “Defrosting” in
Care and
Cleaning
section.
Power On Light
The Power On Light indicates that the
appliance is properly connected to electrical
power. The light glows even when the
temperature control is turned to OFF. If the
light goes out, refer to "Appliance does not
run" in the
Before You Call
section.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• The appliance should
be located in the coolest
area of the room, away
from heat producing
appliances or heating
ducts, and out of
direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the unit. Overloading the
appliance forces the compressor to run
longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may
lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
unit. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside the appliance.
• The unit should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making
the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and
close door as soon as possible.
