- For best
performance, your freezer
should be located in a coal, dry
well-ventilated place outofthe
direct sunlight and away from
such heat sources as radiators.
The freezer may be installed
flush against the wall and the
cabinets on each side. Also,
check the strength of your floor.

2. Keep it level
- Level your
freezer by adjusting the two
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) will 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 wantto wash the inside
of the freezer with a solution of
two tablespoons baking 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.
Itshould be plugged into a
matching grounded three­
pronged type wall receptacle.
Attach retaining clip for cord
plug
Do not remove the ground
prong.
See electrical require­
ments and grounding in­
structions sheet for complete
information.
Set cold control
- The cold
control is located inside your
freezer on the right wali. To start,
turn cold control to middle of
dial. This position will maintain
zero zone temperatures under
normal operating conditions.
Turn the cold control to a higher
number for colder temperatures
or a lower number for less cold
temperatures.
Let freezer cool before filling -
Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours
before filling with
frozen food.
Let it cool overnight before add­
ing a quantity of
fresh food
to be
frozen. As freezer cools, you will
see frost forming on the shelves.
It is normal forthe frost to form
first on the top shelves, and be
heaviest there.
NOTE:
When freezer first starts, the
compressor will ruh all the time
until the cabinet is cooled to
selected temperature. This first
cooling may take 6 to 8 hours or
longer depending upon the
weather and the humber of times
the freezer door is opened. After
the cabinet has cooled, the
compressor turns off. It will turn
on and off as needed to keep
the freezer at selected
temperature.
