ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not install the freezer close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid
exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor
housing cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3”
or 7.5 cm)
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or
containers.
• Always keep food stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers, and allow some space for air to
circulate around each item.
• Avoid keeping the door open for extended periods of time or opening the door too frequently as warm air
will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to run unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly and forming a tight seal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Appliance is connected
but no power
• Check your circuit breaker as it might have tripped.
• Plug not fully inserted into the wall outlet.
Appliance is operating,
but the interior
(cabinet) is not cold
• Allow the appliance at least 4 hours to cool down once turned on.
• Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting
relevant to the room/ambient temperatures.
• Check that the room/ambient temperature is not approaching the internal
operating temperature and does not exceed to 100˚F (38˚C).
• Has too much warm food been added to the freezer recently? If so, it will take
some time for the appliance to return to temperature.
• Does the cabinet have adequate ventilation around the side walls, allowing it
to transfer heat properly? (See Installation section).
Appliance runs
continuously
• Temperature setting is too cold.
• Door not shut properly or opened excessively.
• Recently added a large quantity of warm food to the cabinet.
• Close proximity to heat source or direct sunlight.
• Ambient temperature or humidity is very high.
The door will not open
• Has the door just been opened? If so, leave the appliance closed for a few
minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize and try again.
Excessive frost and ice
has built up
• Is the weather hot and humid? If so, this will increase the rate of frost build-up
in the cabinet.
• Ensure that stored food is properly packaged.
• Check that the door is closed and has a good seal, and that nothing is
preventing the door from closing properly.
• Large quantities of food have recently been placed in the freezer, and/or the
door is frequently opened.
• Ensure that proper care and maintenance of the appliance has been
performed (cleaning, defrosting, etc...).
Noise
• Refer to “Normal Operating Sounds” (page 8).
