Protecting your investment

Keep your freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at least twice
a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from
the wall outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION
• Pull the freezer straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
NOTE
Turning the freezer temperature control to "OFF" turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect
electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your freezer,
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm
water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already
removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
