4. Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that
the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if
necessary.
5. Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space on both sides of the
freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the
wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
6. It should not be necessary to remove the lid during
installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment,
contact a designated service company.
NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets,
sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
Electrical Requirements
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 or pull chain. Do not use an
extension cord.
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. Never 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
packages and air space 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.
