NOTE: When freezer first starts, the
motor will run all the time until
the cabinet is cooled to a safe
storage temperature. This first
cooling may take 6 to 8 hours or
longer, depending upon the
weather and number of times the
freezer lid is opened. After the
cabinet is cooled, the motor turns
off. It will then turn on and off as
needed to keep the freezer at a
safe storage temperature.

key eject lock which can help
reduce the hazard of child

the freezer it is necessary to
manually hold the key in the

spring loaded so the key can­
not be left in the lock. If key is
lost, a replacement can be
obtained from your dealer or a

agent. Always give complete
model and serial numbers of
your freezer when requesting a
replacement key.
