FREEZER USE
GENERAL
•
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
time should not be exceeded.
•
Pre-packed, commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a three-star frozen
food storage compartment or home freezer.
•
DO NOT put bottled food or drinks in the freezer.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
•
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
•
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
•
Do not use an adapter.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
•
Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
1. Plug in your freezer. Wait for 30 minutes, and then open the freezer
door to determine if the freezer is working properly.
2. Unlock the control panel by pressing and holding for 3 seconds.
See, “Controls.”
3. Set the freezer temperature by pressing the or on the control
panel. A beep sounds when the MAX or MIN temperature is reached.
4. Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these
instructions regarding storage times.
FREEZER LOCK AND KEY
IMPORTANT: Store the freezer key in a location away from the freezer and
not easily accessible to children.
The freezer lock is spring loaded, so that the key cannot be left in the lock.
To Lock/Unlock the Freezer:
Insert the key into the lock, and then push inward while turning the key.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in
the freezer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
•
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
