Electrical Requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an
extension cord.

Defrost Drain Cover

(on some models)
1. Remove defrost drain cover from the literature package.
2. Push drain cover into drain hole as illustrated.

FREEZER USE

Control Use

Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is
designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F
(-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen
food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts
of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds (907-
1,350 g) of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8
hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as
needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer's design and main function is to remove heat from
packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred
to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting the temperature control
Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

Sliding Basket

Store small packages in the basket to avoid losing them in the
bottom of the freezer. The basket can then be moved from side to
side or it can be removed when loading or unloading the food
below it.
To remove basket, lift it straight up and out. To replace basket,
lower basket back into place.
