First Steps
Setting the
Temperature Control
Cold Control
Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed
110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect freezer
operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space
on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor
must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: It is VERY
IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer
is not leveled during installatioin, the lid may be misaligned and not close or seal
properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Chest Unit:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.
Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and exterior with mild detergent
and warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE
SURFACES.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the
•
appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape
can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the
residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
LID REMOVAL
See Instructions on Hinge label. (UNPLUG THE UNIT.)
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to cool down completely. The
•
freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen
foods should 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. It is not necessary to turn control knob to a colder setting while freezing
foo
d.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located inside the freezer. The temperature is factory
preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the tempera-
ture control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal
satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob
toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between
adjustments.
