PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not use an adapter.
The freezer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply
cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a qualified service professional with an
authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the freezer away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Outside
Door Handles and Trim. Clean with a cloth dampened
with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not
wipe the freezer with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel.
These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do
not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
soda in the freezer.
Unplug the freezer before cleaning. If this is not practical,
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or controls. Use warm
water and baking soda solution--about a tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and
wipe dry.
CAUTION Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. Glass shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as
bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic freezer parts in the dishwasher.
Do not clean with any products containing detergent,
bleach or ammonia. They may damage the freezer.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
No Defrosting
You never have to defrost your new No-Frost freezer.
It has been pre-set at the factory to defrost itself
automatically.
During defrosting, a slight noise may be noticed if the
door is opened while the freezer is in the automatic
defrosting cycle.

In Case of Extended Power Failure
■Keepfreezerdoorclosed.Yourfreezerwillkeepfood
frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admitted.
■If freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add
dry ice. Leave ice in large pieces. Add more ice as
required.
CAUTION Handling of dry ice can cause
freezing of the hands—gloves or other protection is
recommended.
■If dry ice is not available, move food to a frozen food
locker temporarily—until power is restored.
Preparing to Move
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Remove foods and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as baskets and shelves by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure freezer stays in upright position during actual
moving and during transportation. The freezer must be
secured during transportation to prevent movement.
Protect outside of freezer with blanket.
Preparing for Vacation
To maintain freezer in operation during vacations,
be sure your house power is not turned off. For sure
protection of freezer contents, you may want to ask
a neighbor to check the power supply and freezer
operation every 48 hours.
For extended vacations or absences, you may prefer to
move your frozen foods to a storage locker temporarily.
If your freezer is to be left empty, disconnect power cord
plug from wall outlet. To prevent formation of odors,
place open box of baking soda in freezer and leave
freezer door open.
When the freezer is not operating, it can be left in an
unheated house or room without damage to cabinet or
mechanism.
Save Money/Save Energy
■The freezer should be located in the
coolest area of the room, away from
heat-producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
■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 buildup inside the freezer.
■Organize and label food to reduce door openings
and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.

Installing the Freezer
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Freezer Location
Your freezer should be conveniently located for
day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Do not install the freezer where the temperature will go
below 0°F or above 110°F, because it will not maintain
proper temperatures.
Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong enough
to support it when it is fully loaded.
Do not install the freezer in a location exposed to rain
water or direct sunlight.
Adjustable Legs
Legs at the front corners of the freezer should be set so
the freezer is firmly positioned on the floor, and the front
is raised just enough so the door closes easily when
opened about halfway.
Level Freezer
Use a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from back to
front. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front 1/2 bubble
higher so the door closes easily when left open.
Unit Loading
NOTICE: To allow the door to close and seal properly,
DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of the
shelves.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem Possible Causes What to Do
Moisture forms on outside of
cabinet Not unusual during periods of high humidity. Wipe surface dry.
Door may not be seating properly,
causing cold air from inside the
freezer to meet warm moist air
from the outside.
See Preparing to install the freezer.
Interior light does not work No power at outlet. Replace fuse or reset the breaker.
Freezer is unplugged. Push the plug completely into the outlet.
LED light burned out. Replace the LED.
Door won’t fully close by itself Legs need adjusting. See Preparing to install the freezer.
Package holding door open. Move package to a different location.
Slow starting time after being off Built-in overload protection. This is normal after being off.
Excessive frost buildup Door left open. Check to see if package is holding door
open.
Too frequent or too long door
openings. Open the door less often.
Not unusual during periods of high
humidity. Wipe surface dry.
Freezer external surface
temperature is warm The external freezer walls can be as much as 30°F warmer than
room temperature.
This is normal while the compressor
works to transfer heat from inside the
freezer cabinet.
Louder sound levels whenever
freezer is on Modern freezers have increased storage capacity and more stable
temperatures. They require a high-
efficiency compressor.
This is normal. When the surrounding
noise level is low, you might hear the
compressor running while it cools the
interior.
Higher sound levels when
compressor comes on Freezer operates at higher pressures during the start of the
ON cycle.
This is normal. Sound will level off or
disappear as freezer continues to run.
Popping or cracking sound when
compressor comes on
Metal parts undergo expansion and
contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like
boiling water
Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is
circulating throughout the system. This is normal.
Moisture forms on inside freezer
walls Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost
buildup.
This is normal.
Door may not be seating properly. See Preparing to install the freezer.
Door is kept open too long, or is
opened too frequently. Open the door less often.
Odors in freezer Interior needs to be cleaned. Clean interior with sponge, warm water
and baking soda.
Foods with strong odors are in the
freezer. Cover the food tightly.
Normal Operating Characteristics
■A warm cabinet exterior as the refrigeration system
transfers heat from the inside to the outside through
the exterior cabinet walls.
■The sound of the high-efficiency compressor motor.
■The sound of water dripping as it melts from the
evaporator and escapes to the drain pan during defrost
cycle.
■The sound of the fan circulating air within the interior
of the cabinet providing a consistent temperature
throughout.

FORMA ADECUADA DE DESCARTAR SU ANTIGÜO CONGÉLATEUR
Nunca, bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o elimine el tercer cable (tierra) del cable de corriente.
Para su seguridad personal, este electrodoméstico debe estar adecuadamente conectado a tierra.
El cable de corriente de este electrodoméstico cuenta con
un enchufe de 3 cables (conexión a tierra) que se conecta a
un tomacorriente de pared estándar de 3 cables (conexión a
tierra) para minimizar la posibilidad de riesgos de descargas
eléctricas por parte del mismo.
Contrate a un electricista calificado para que controle el
tomacorriente y el circuito eléctrico, a fin de asegurar que el
enchufe esté correctamente conectado a tierra.
En caso de contar con un tomacorriente de pared de 2
cables, es su responsabilidad y obligación reemplazarlo
por un tomacorriente de pared de 3 cables correctamente
conectado a tierra. No use un adaptador.
El freezer deberá estar siempre conectado a un enchufe
específico con un índice de voltaje equivalente al que figura
en la placa de calificación.
Se requiere un suministro eléctrico con fusible y conexión
a tierra de 115 voltios de CA, 60 Hz, 15 o 20 amperes.
Esto garantiza el mejor funcionamiento y además previene
la sobrecarga de los circuitos del hogar, lo cual podría
ocasionar riesgos de incendio debido al recalentamiento de
cables.
Nunca desenchufe el congelador tirando del cable de
corriente. Siempre tome su enchufe firmemente y empuje el
mismo hacia fuera para retirarlo.
Inmediatamente interrumpa el uso de un cable de suministro
de corriente dañado. Si el cable de corriente se encuentra
dañado, su reemplazo deberá ser realizado por un
profesional calificado del servicio técnico, utilizando una
pieza del servicio técnico autorizada por el fabricante.
Al alejar el freezer de la pared, se deberá tener cuidado de
que no ruede sobre ni dañe el cable de corriente.
