To help you get the most from your new freezer Before starting your freezer
^before you freeze the first apple pie, you will w'ant to know
all about your new Whirlpool freezer. That’s w'hat this Use
and Care Guide is all about. It tells you how to start it, fill it,
I lean it . . . even w'hat to do if anything goes W'rong. S e e h a n d y
S e l f - s e r v i c e C h e c k L i s t o n b a c k p a g e of simple problems you
can solve yourself without the wasted time and possible ex-
jiense of a needless service call. After all, who needs a service­
man to plug back in an electric cord that’s been accidentally
])ulled out?
Before you use your freezer
• Be sure your freezer is properly installed in an appropriate
level area and a place suitable for the size, function and
protection of the freezer.
• Properly connect to electricity.
• Remove the Consumer Buy Guide label before freezer is
used.
• Do not remove TECH SHEET fastened behind the base
grille. It contains technical information required by your
serviceman.
• Do not permit children to operate or play with the
freezer. •
• REMEMBER: Use the appliance only for the job it w^as
designed to perform.
1. Locate it properly — For best performance, your freezer
should be located in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of
the direct sunlight and away from such heat sources as radi­
ators. Allow space above and at the back of freezer for air
to circulate — at least 3" above and 1" at the back between
the condenser and the w'all. Also, check the strength of your
floor. Make certain it can support the weight of the freezer
when loaded.
2. Keep it level — Level your freezer by adjusting the twm
leveling legs at the front corners. (Adjust door-hinge side
first.) Turn left to raise the corner; right to lower it. When
freezer is sitting level, the freezer door (when opened) w'ill
stay at any open position. After the freezer has been filled,
recheck to see if it is sitting level.
NOTE: Before turning freezer on, you may want to wash the
inside of the freezer with a solution of two tablespoons bak­
ing soda to a quart of warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
To start freezer
Electrical Connection — Your freezer should be connected to
its own individual outlet, one not controlled by a wall switch.
Make sure the outlet provides 120 volt, 60 Hz AC current.
For your safety, the power supply cord of the freezer is
equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug. It should be
plugged into a matching grounded three-pronged type wall re­
ceptacle. Attach retaining clip for cord plug.
Do not remove
the ground prong. See electrical requirements and ground­
ing instructions sheet for complete information.
