Product Registration

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door/lid openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door/lid as soon as possible.

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly.

3" AIR SPACE

3"

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.

3"

3"

Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.

Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are

NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR

AN ADAPTER PLUG.

• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.

• To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

1"

Installation

Leveling

The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

To level Upright Units:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To level Chest Units:

If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.

Other Precautions

• To defrost, always unplug unit first.

• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

• Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.

First Steps

Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.

Installation / Freezer Placement

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

• The freezer should be located where surrounding temperature will not exceed 110ºF (43ºC). Temperatures of 32ºF (0ºC) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.

• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

Electromechanical Temperature Alarm (Audible Only or

Audible with Warning Light)

This feature is designed to provide a warning of a possible malfunction. If the temperature of the food rises to a level unsafe for long-term storage, the buzzer will sound. The red light, if equipped, will also glow. The Temp Alarm feature operates on household electricity. If power fails, the alarm will not function. An

ON/OFF switch allows you to deactivate the Temp Alarm when not wanted. The freezer is shipped with the Temp Alarm in the “OFF” position (if equipped). After the freezer has run approximately four

(4) hours, the red light, if equipped, will go off. Then you may activate the Temp Alarm without the alarm sounding.

Press the “ON” switch to activate the Temp Alarm feature. To deactivate, press the “OFF” switch.

Slide-Out Basket (Some Upright Models)

The slide-out basket, located at the bottom of the freezer provides separate storage space for items that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, pull out and lift up.

Security Lock with Pop-out Key

This security lock fastens the door/lid snugly, ensuring that stored food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, push the key into the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it has been turned.

Interior Light

The light comes on automatically when the door/lid is opened. To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to “OFF” and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same type and wattage.

If the alarm sounds, be sure freezer is properly leveled, and the door/lid closes freely and seals properly. If you suspect a technical malfunction, call an authorized service personnel immediately.

Adjustable Shelf (Some Upright Models)

This shelf can be moved to one of two positions. Lift the shelf up and out to move to the desired position.

Electronic Temperature Alarm (Some Electronic Chest

Models)

This feature is designed to provide a warning if the inside temperature reaches an unsafe level. The Temp Alarm feature operates on household electricity. It will not function if household electricity is interrupted.

Slide-Aside Basket (Chest Models)

This basket helps organize odd-shaped items. To reach other packages in the freezer, slide the basket aside or lift out.

When the freezer is initially plugged in, the red Temp Alarm indicator light blinks. The indicator light will continue to blink until the freezer has reached a safe freezing temperature. If a malfunction causes an unsafe temperature inside the freezer, the red light will blink and the buzzer will sound. To silence the buzzer, press the

ALARM OFF button. The indicator light will continue to blink until a safe freezing temperature is again reached. If the problem is not solved within twelve (12) hours, the buzzer will turn on again. If the

ALARM OFF button is not pressed, the buzzer will turn itself off automatically after 48 hours, but the red Temp Alarm light will continue to blink.

Slide-Aside Basket

Fast Freezing Shelves (Manual Defrost Upright Models)

These shelves contain cooling coils to freeze foods quickly and allow cold air to constantly circulate throughout the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects such as ice picks or scrapers to clean the shelves. This could damage the shelves and reduce their cooling ability. These shelves are not adjustable.

Tilt-Out Shelf (Some Upright Models)

This shelf is located inside on the freezer door and provides additional storage space. To access an item, tilt the top of the

“basket” shelf down.

Drop Front (Some Upright Models)

The drop front, located at the bottom of the freezer, provides a separate compartment for small irregular shaped items. Lift the front up and out to remove.

Basket Divider (Some Upright Models)

Use these handy dividers to keep the various items stored in your baskets more organized. To change the location of the divider simply slide your basket out, lift up on each end of the divider until it is disengaged from the basket, place divider in the desired location (make sure it is between two vertical wires) and press down firmly on each end until it snaps into place.

Small Item Shelf

(Some Upright Models)

Use this shelf to store several of your single-serving microwavable dinners or other small items that you want to keep in an easy-to-reach spot.

Chest Divider (Some Chest Models)

Use these clever dividers to custom-arrange a variety of differentsized storage bins in the bottom of your chest freezer. Use the peel-n-stick labels found in your literature packet to help remind you which items are stored where. If you have an item that isn’t already covered by one of the pre-printed labels then use one of the blank labels and a permanent marking pen to make your own custom label. Labels can be peeled off when no longer needed and replaced by new and different ones.

Examples of Chest Divider Configurations:

Pizza Shelf (Some Upright Models)

Here is the place to store up to four extra-large boxes of frozen pizza without ever having to dig them out from beneath a pile of other stored goods. To change the location of the pizza shelf: support the bottom center of the shelf with one hand and use your other hand to gently ease each support tab outward until they have all dropped between the edge of the shelf and the liner wall. It may help to slide the supporting shelf slightly to the side opposite that in which you are removing the tabs in order to get a larger gap between the edge of the supporting shelf and the liner wall.

Next, locate the pizza shelf beneath the shelf nearest your desired location and snap each tab upwards between the wire or glass shelf and liner until the tab has snapped into place and is resting on top of the supporting shelf. Repeat for each tab until all four are firmly in place and then load with desired items.

Compressor Mounted Drain Pan (Most Upright Frost

Free Models)

Most upright frost free freezers are equipped with a compressor mounted drain pan that collects condensate during each defrost cycle. This compressor mounted drain pan takes advantage of the heat generated by the compressor to evaporate condensate water so there is no need to empty the pan during each defrost cycle.

Care and Cleaning

Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. DO NOT touch

interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.

The freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard)

from power source when defrosting the unit.

• Close the freezer door/lid. Frost should soften in about fifteen

(15) minutes.

• Repeat this procedure is necessary.

Drain Tube

Some upright and chest freezers are frost free and defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.

Between Defrostings

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with pulling motion. NEVER use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door/lid is opened. Remove food and leave the door/lid open when defrosting the freezer.

Drain Pan

Figure 1

To Defrost Upright Models with Defrost Drain:

• Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling it straight out.

• To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the two screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer.

• Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check the pan occasionally so water does not overflow

(see figure 1).

• A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores.

• Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter the freezer.

A ½ inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain (see figure 3). If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores.

• Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer (see figure 4). Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow.

• Replace the drain plugs when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter the freezer.

Figure 4

To Defrost Models without Defrost Drain:

• Place towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and fall.

• Remove the towels and/or newspapers.

• If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep pans with hot water and place them on the freezer bottom.

Cleaning The Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with a solution of two (2) tablespoons of baking soda in one (1) quart (1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. NEVER use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or alkaline solutions on any surface. DO NOT wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

7

Cleaning The Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent.

Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.

Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the freezer surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

Power Failure / Freezer Failure

Risk of Child Entrapment

If leaving the freezer door/lid open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the freezer and become entrapped.

DO NOT open freezer door/lid unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours.

Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations:

• Leave the freezer operating during periods of non-use of less than three (3) weeks.

Long Vacations:

If the freezer will not be used for several months:

• Remove all food and unplug the power cord.

• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

• Leave the freezer door/lid open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.

Moving:

When moving the freezer, follow these guidelines to prevent damage:

• Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

• Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer.

• Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

• In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect outside of freezer with a blanket or similar item.

IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS:

Frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow

Pages under “Dry Ice”, “Dairies”, or “Ice Cream Manufacturers” for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.

If the freezer has stopped operating, see the “Freezer does not run” section in the Avoid Service Checklist section of this use and care guide. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized service personnel immediately.

If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate.

Look in the Yellow Pages under “Frozen Food Locker Plants”.
