Child Safety
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping
material immediately after the freezer isunpacked• Children
should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become
airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation•
• A child might suffocate if he crawls into the freezer to hide
or play. Remove the door/lid of the freezer when not in use,
even if you plan to discard the freezer• Many communities
have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution•
• Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves
during shipping• Small objects are a choke hazard to chil-
dren.
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you
are getting rid ofyour old refrigerator or freezer please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents:
• Remove the door/lid. If your door has electronic controls,
have it removed by a qualified technician•
QLeave shelves in place so children may not easily climb

ELECTRICAL iNFORMATION
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate prop-
erly.
Refer to the serialplate for correct electrical rating.
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three prong plug for your protection against shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
groundedthree prong receptacle, protected with a 15
amp timedelay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Interrupters
(GFI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD OR ADAPTER PLUG.
If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer performance
may be affected. Operating freezer with insufficient
power can damage the motor. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your
household voltage is high or low, consult your power
company for testing.
,, To prevent the freezer from being turned off
accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the cord.
Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle.
Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the
light bulb or other electrical components.
m
_Avoid fire hazard or electric
shock. Do not use an extension cord or
an adapter plug. Do not remove any
prong from the power cord.

This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instruc-
tions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in
this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow
these important first steps.
INSTALLATION
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
• For the most efficient operation, the freezer should
be located where surrounding temperatures will not
exceed 110°F (43°C).Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) 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 (75 ram) space on all sides of the
freezer for adequate circulation.
(25ram)
installation
_{75m_
Ins_lation
NOTE: The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the
inside. Temperatures as much as 30 ° F warmer than room
temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particu-
larly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for
air circulation around your freezer.
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. NOTE: 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 may be
misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Upright Models:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a car-
penter's level to level the freezer from front-to-back. Adjust
the plastic leveling feet in front, _zbubble higher, so that
the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To Level Chest Models:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between foot pads
and floor.
CLEANING (PRIOR TO USE)
Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and
exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry.
Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces,
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance 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 tape already removed. Do not remove the serial
plate.
_To allow door to
close and seal properly, DO NOT let
food packages extend past the front
of shelves.

1. Gently lay freezer on its back, on a rug or blanket.
2. Remove two base screws and base panel.
3. Remove bottom hinge screws.
4. Remove plastic top hinge cover.
5. Remove screws from top hinge.
6. Remove top hinge from cabinet.
7. Remove door and bottom hinge from cabinet.
8. To replace door, reverse the above order and
securely tighten all screws to prevent hinge slippage.
DOOR REMOVAL (ELECTRONIC MODELS)

V,o >.
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 build-up inside the freezer.
Freezer shelves 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 openings and
extended searches. Remove as many items as needed
at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
COOL DOWN PERIOD
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to
cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously
for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the freezer after the first few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be
loaded into the freezer until the freezer has operated
for 4 hours.
When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of
fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the
freezer. It is not necessary to turn the control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Electromechanical Temperature Control (Chest and
Some Upright Models)
The electromechanical temperature control is located in-
side the freezer on upright models, and on the left exterior
wall on chest models (see figure 1).The temperature is
factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temper-
atures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to
provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfac-
tion. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the tempera-
ture control knob clockwise or counter clockwise. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
When the freezer is initially plugged in, the red
"HI TEMP" indicator will be on and the buzzer will
sound. The indicator light will stay on until the freezer
temperature is below 23°R To silence the buzzer,
press the ALARM RESET button.
If a malfunction causes the temperature inside the
freezer to rise above 23°K the "HI TEMP" light will turn
on and the buzzer will sound. The buzzer will sound
every hour until the freezer temperature is below
23°R To silence the buzzer, press the ALARM RESET
button.
Should an "E" appear on display, contact your authorized
service technician for repair. Until changes are made,
freezer will continue to run.

BETWEEN DEFROSTINGS
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic
scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion.
Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.
DEFROSTING
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when _Ato
_/2inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accu-
mulate faster on the upper part of the freezer due to warm,
moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened.
Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the
freezer.
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 _z inch garden hose adapter can be used to drain the
freezer directly into afloor drain. If yourmodel 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.

ToDefrost Chest IViodels with Defrost Drain:
Place a shallow pan or the Divider/Drain Pan (if equipped)
beneath the drain outlet. Pull out the outside drain plug
(see figure 2). A Vzinch 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.
Diain Plug
Figule 2 Figure 3
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.
Close the freezer door/lid. Frost should soften in about
fifteen (15) minutes.
Repeat this procedure is necessary.
CLEANING THE INSIDE
After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the freezer with
a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart
(1.1 litres) 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 and door basket with the bak-
ing 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.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid de-
tergent. 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
