To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
NOTE:
Having someone push against the top of the freezer takes
some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.
Open the freezer door. Use a ¼" hex driver to turn both brake feet
clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the freezer.
It may take several turns to allow the door to close
more easily.
2.
Move the freezer to its final location.
3.
Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the
rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the
floor. This keeps the freezer from rolling forward when you are
opening the freezer door.
IMPORTANT
: If you need to make further adjustments
involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the
same amount to keep the freezer level.
4.
Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the
door opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however,
the door does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust
the tilt.
A. Brake foot
B. Front roller
5.
Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady
or rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake
feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
■
Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄4" hex driver, turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw
until the freezer does not roll forward when the door is
opened.
6.
Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature,
you need to permit proper airflow in
the freezer. As shown in the illustration,
cool air enters from the freezer
wall and moves down. The air then
recirculates through the vent near the
bottom.
Do not block any of these vents
with food packages. If the vents are
blocked, airflow will be restricted and
temperature and moisture problems
may occur.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid odor transfer
and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
Using the Control
The temperature control is located at the top front of the freezer
compartment.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your freezer, check that the control
is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
IMPORTANT:
■
The recommended setting is designed to maintain the
temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating
conditions.
■
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen
food.
■
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and
number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer
is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to
keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
