5.3 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer – White Providing the correct power source Check your local power source. Your freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply. Warnings Make sure that: • The power outlet accepts a 3-prong grounding plug. The third prong on the power cord plug grounds your freezer to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
NS-UZ53WH9/NS-UZ53WH9-C Cleaning your freezer Your freezer is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. We recommend that you do the following every time you clean it to keep your freezer running odor-free and efficiently: Caution To prevent damage to the finish, do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other solvents, and do not use abrasive cleaners.
5.3 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer – White • Do not line the freezer storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make your freezer less efficient. • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
NS-UZ53WH9/NS-UZ53WH9-C PROBLEM SOLUTION Heat dissipation from the condenser may make the outside feel hot. This is normal and happens if: • The room temperature is high. The outside of the freezer is hot. • You have too much food in your freezer.
