NOTE:
To allow the freezer to roll more easily, raise the brake feet
by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching
the floor.
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.
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
¹⁄₄
" 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.
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.
Recommended setting is the center snowflake.
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.
