Manual

■ When the freezer is ﬁrst started, the compressor will run

constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or

8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and

number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer

is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to

keep the freezer at the proper temperature.

■ The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal.

The freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat

from packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is

transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer

feel warm.

Adjusting Control

If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment,

press TEMP SETTING to display the desired temperature setting

from Cold to Coldest.

NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the

control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between

adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.

Cooling On/Off

Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.

To turn cooling off, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.

In the off condition, none of the lights on the control panel will be

illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.

To turn cooling on, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.

When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be illuminated.

Fast Freeze (on some models)

Use this feature before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.

For the best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,361 g) per cu. ft

(28.32 L) of freezer space.

To activate Fast Freeze, press TEMP SETTING until all the

indicator light positions are illuminated simultaneously.

The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for 24 hours

after the extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has

expired, the freezer will return to the previous temperature

setting. Fast Freeze may be manually turned off by pressing

TEMP SETTING to select the desired temperature setting from

Cold to Coldest.

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you

have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The

locations of the features may not match those of your model.

Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to ﬁt different

heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves

energy.

1. Remove the shelf by lifting straight up and pulling the shelf out.

2. Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports

on the side wall.

Storage Gate (on some models)

To Remove the Storage Gate:

1. Lift up the top of the gate and out of the supports.

2. Return the gate to original position. Lower the gate into the

supports.

CARING FOR YOUR FREEZER

Cleaning Your Freezer

Frost-free means that you will not have to defrost your freezer.

Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and

depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically

warms up enough to melt the frost and it then ﬂows down to the

drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.

Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.

1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off

cooling.

2. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

3. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers

of newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen

for several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler,

additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.

4. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

bins, etc.

5. Hand-wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and

a mild detergent in warm water.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, ﬂammable ﬂuids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners

or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other

harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with

a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt

[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

6. Replace the removable parts.

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.
