Safety Information
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD Flammable Refrigerant
This appliance contains isobutane refrigerant, R600a, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility. However, it is also
combustible. Adhere to the warnings below to reduce the risk of injury or property damage.
1. When handling, installing and operating the appliance, care should be taken to avoid damage to the refrigerant tubing.
2. Service shall only be performed by authorized service personnel. Use only manufacturer-authorized service parts.
3. Dispose of the appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. The ammable refrigerant and insulation material used
require special disposal procedures. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal of your appliance.
4. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosures or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
5. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
6. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
7. Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment of the appliance.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. Failure to do so can result in re, explosion, or death.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
□Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
□Do not remove the ground prong.
□Do not use an adapter.
□Do not use an extension cord.
□Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re, or electrical shock.
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 qualied 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.
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. 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. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a re hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly 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 qualied 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.

Pre-Installation
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
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 (-18°C) or above 110°F (43°C), because it will not maintain proper
temperatures.
Do not install the freezer in a location exposed to rain water or direct sunlight.
Be sure to install your freezer on a oor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
LEVEL FREEZER
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.
NOTE: It should not be necessary to remove the lid during
installation. If, for some reason, the hinges need adjustment, see
instructions below.
CLEARANCES AND VENTILATION
Allow at least 2 in. (50.8 mm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2 in. (50.8 mm) between the back of the freezer and the wall.
Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the freezer.
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
NOTICE: Do not place the freezer on any side. Doing so may
damage the freezer. If freezer has been on its side, it needs to stay
upright for 24 hours before plugging in.

Maintenance
In most climates, defrosting will be necessary only about twice a year.
To have your freezer operate most efciently, do not permit more than 1/4” (6 mm) thickness of frost, on average, to accumulate
on the walls.
To remove frost, scrape with a plastic or wood spatula or scraper.
Do not use an ice pick, metal, or sharp-edged instrument as it may damage or scratch the freezer.
Do not use boiling water as it may damage the freezer.
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your freezer.
FOR COMPLETE DEFROSTING
1. Turn the temperature control (C) to the far left OFF setting and unplug the freezer.
2. Remove all food and place it in corrugated boxes, insulated bags, picnic coolers, etc. Use towels and newspapers for insulation
as needed.
3. Place a tray (not included) in front of the freezer, beneath the exterior drain plug (E) to collect the water. Remove the exterior drain plug
(E) and the interior drain plug (A). This allows the water to ow out into the tray.
4. With the lid open, you may choose to use pans of hot tap water (less than 120° F [49° C]) to speed defrosting. Directing air from an
electric fan into the freezer will also help. Do not place fan or any electrical device in the freezer. Remove large pieces before
they melt.
5. Wipe water from the walls with a towel or sponge.
6. After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer (see Care and Cleaning).
7. Replace the drain plugs.
8. Plug in the freezer. Return the temperature control to its previous position and
return food to the freezer.

WARNING: The freezer must be unplugged to avoid an electrical hazard from the power
source when defrosting the unit.
NOTE: Water that has accumulated at the bottom of the freezer
during defrosting will drain into the tray. Monitor the tray under the
drain to avoid overow.

Care and Cleaning
CLEANING YOUR FREEZER
□Outside. Protect the paint nish. The nish on the outside of the freezer is a high quality, baked-on paint nish. With proper care, it
will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of appliance polish wax when the freezer is new and then at least twice
a year. Appliance polish wax also works well to remove tape residue from freezer surfaces.
Keep the nish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry
and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach.
□Inside. Clean the inside of your freezer at least once a year. We recommend that the freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If this is
not practical, wring excess moisture out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse thoroughly with water and
wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. DO NOT wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box every three months.
IN CASE OF AN EXTENDED POWER FAILURE
□Keep the freezer lid closed. Your freezer will keep food frozen for 24 hours provided warm air is not admitted.
□If the freezer is out of operation for 24 hours or more, add dry ice. Leave the ice in large pieces. Add more ice as required.
□If dry ice is not available, move food to a frozen food locker temporarily—until power is restored.
PREPARING TO MOVE
Turn the temperature control to OFF. Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, defrost (on Manual Defrost
models) and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as baskets by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the freezer stays in an upright position during actual moving and during transportation. The freezer must be secured during
transportation to prevent movement. Protect the outside of the freezer with a blanket.
CAUTION: Damp objects stick to cold metal
surfaces. DO NOT touch interior metal surfaces
with wet or damp hands.
CAUTION: Handling of dry ice can cause freezing of the
hands—gloves or other protection is recommended.
NOTICE: Care should be taken in moving the freezer away from
the wall. All types of oor coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.

Care and Cleaning
PREPARING FOR VACATION
To maintain the freezer in operation during vacations, be sure your house power is not turned off. To protect the freezer contents, you may
want to ask a neighbor to check the power supply and freezer operation every 24 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 the power cord plug from the wall outlet. To prevent formation of odors, place an open box of baking soda in the freezer
and leave the freezer lid open.
SAVE MONEY AND 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.
□Freezer baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the freezer less efcient.
□Organize and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close
the lid as soon as possible.

as 30°F (16.7° C) warmer than the room
temperature.
This is normal while the compressor works to
transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Louder sound levels whenever
the freezer is on
Modern freezers have increased storage
capacity and more stable temperatures.
They require a high-efciency 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
The freezer operates at higher pressures
during the start of the ON cycle.
This is normal. The sound will level off or disappear
as the 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. The sound will level off or disappear
as the 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
The weather is hot and humid, which
increases the internal rate of frost buildup.
This is normal.
The lid may not be seating properly. See Pre-Installation.
The lid is kept open too long, or is opened
too frequently.
Open the lid less often.
Odors in freezer The interior needs to be cleaned. Clean the interior with a sponge, warm water and
baking soda.
Foods with strong odors are in the freezer. Cover the food tightly.
NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

pared de 3 cables correctamente conectado a tierra. No use un adaptador.
El freezer deberá estar siempre conectado a un enchufe especíco con un índice de voltaje equivalente al que gura en la placa de calicación.
Se requiere un suministro eléctrico con fusible y conexión a tierra de 115 voltios de CA, 60 Hz, 15 o 20 amperes. Se recomienda contar con
un circuito individual que se use únicamente con su freezer. Use un tomacorriente que no se pueda apagar desde un interruptor. No use un
prolongador. 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 refrigerador tirando del cable de corriente. Siempre tome su enchufe rmemente 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 calicado 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.
