About the operation of your freezer.

1
(see Care and Cleaning ).
Connect cord to a power outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
2

3
normal conditions.
Allow freezer to operate for 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.
4
Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.
Never add more that 2–3 pounds (1 to 1.5 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until it reaches
freezing temperature. It may take 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on room temperature
and the number of times the freezer is opened.
The outside of the freezer may feel warm. This is normal. As the freezer removes heat from
packages and air space inside, the heat is transferred to the room air which may cause the
outside to feel warm.
Temperature Control
Turn the control to a higher number for
colder temperatures and to a lower number
for less cold temperatures.
Key-Ejecting Lock
(on some models)
The key for the spring-loaded lock is
automatically ejected—key will not remain
in lock in either the open or closed position.
Bookshelf Door Storage
Lets you store frozen food packages like
books for easy selection.
Refrigerated Cabinet Shelves
Cooling coils welded to shelves freeze food
quickly and evenly.
Turning the control to OFF stops the cooling
process but does not shut off power to the
freezer.
Keep the key out of reach of children and away
from the freezer.
