Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important
to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF
position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the
electrical source.
Defrost Drain Cover
(on some models)
1. Remove defrost drain cover from the literature package.
2. Push drain cover into drain hole as illustrated.
FREEZER USE
Using the Control
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This 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. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts
of unfrozen food. Do not add more than 2 to 3 lbs (0.907 to
1.360 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or
longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times
the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as
needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from the
contents and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the
room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting the Control
■ Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
■ Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
Temperature Alarm (on some models)
The temperature alarm is located above the temperature control
and sounds an audible alarm if the temperature reaches 10°F
(-12°C) or more above normal for the selected setting. The alarm
is controlled by a three-position switch.
To change the temperature alarm setting, move the switch from
one setting to another.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
0 Keeps the alarm from sounding when the freezer is
warm, such during start-up or defrosting.
✔ Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.
1 The proper setting for normal freezer use.
