This Owner’s Guide provides operating instructions for your model. Use your freezer only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. • The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play. Remove the door of a freezer when not in use, even if you plan to discard the freezer. Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours. • When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer.
Security Lock with Pop-Out Key This security lock fastens the door snugly, ensuring that stored food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, push the key into the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it has been turned.
If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice Cream Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.
Temperature control is in the OFF position. See Setting the Temperature Control section. • Freezer may not be plugged in or plug may be loose. Be sure plug is tightly pushed into electrical outlet. • House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check / reset circuit breaker or replace fuse with 15 amp time delay fuse.
