Wash the drawers with a mild detergent solution.
4.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the
temperature control or any electrical parts.
CAUTION
: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal
injury.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to
take the proper steps to protect the contents of the freezer.

Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all stored items. Unplug the freezer, clean it and
leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or
odors.

Moving Your Freezer
1. Remove all contents.
:
2. Securely tape down all loose items such as drawers inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
:
•
Hot items should be allowed to cool to room temperature before being placed
in the freezer. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Items
that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
•
Be sure to wrap items properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
