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-amp fused and grounded (earthed)
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 or cleaning, turn
the Temperature Control to the OFF position as shown and then
disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
FREEZER USE
Using the Control
Turn the freezer temperature control to 3. This setting is designed
to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal
operating conditions.
IMPORTANT: 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.
NOTES:
■ When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the interior is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours
(or longer), depending on location, 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.
■ Each time the lid is opened, cold air escapes and the
temperature inside the freezer rises.
■ 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.
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
NOTE: To turn off the freezer requires moving the knob to
the OFF position, place a coin on the knob carefully and turn
it down to the OFF position. (Please see the picture below)
