IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environ-
ment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under provi-
sions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT
To turn o power to your appliance you
must unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
Electrical information
Refer to the serial plate for correct
electrical rating. The power cord of
the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle, protected with a 15-amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The
receptacle must be installed in accor-
dance with the local codes and ordi-
nances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles protected by Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are
NOT RECOMMENDED. Do NOT use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it
should be replaced by an authorized
service technician to prevent any risk.
Never unplug the appliance by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent dam-
aging the power cord.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
If voltage varies by 10% or more, ap-
pliance performance may be aected.
Operating the unit with insucient
power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the war-
ranty. If you suspect your household
voltage is high or low, consult your
power company for testing.
To prevent the appliance from being
turned o accidentally, do not plug
unit into an outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend power
cord in any manner.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage re-
sponsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with
your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/products/re-
cycle for more information on
recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your
old appliance:
Remove door.
Leave shelves in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a quali-
fied service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
appliance will operate properly.
WARNING
Turning the control to OFF turns o the
compressor, but does not disconnect
power to other electrical components.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours
for the appliance to cool down com-
pletely. The unit will run continuously
for the first several hours. You may
place already frozen food in the unit
after the first few hours of operation.
Do NOT load unfrozen food into the
freezer until freezer has operated for

3 lbs of fresh food per cubic foot of
freezer space at one time. Distrib-
ute packages to be frozen evenly
throughout the freezer. It is not
necessary to turn control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located inside
the freezer on the back wall. The tempera-
ture is factory preset to “Recommend-
ed” to provide satisfactory food storage
temperatures. However, the temperature
control is adjustable to provide a range of
temperatures for your personal satisfac-
tion. If a colder temperature is desired,
turn the temperature control knob toward
COLDEST and allow several hours for
temperatures to stabilize between adjust-
ments. Temperature Range: -10 to +10°F

STORAGE FEATURES
Shelf Adjustment
You can easily adjust the appliance
shelves to suit individual needs. Before
adjusting the shelves, remove all food.
To adjust the sliding shelves, remove the
shelves by pulling them forward.
To replace a shelf, rest the side edges on any
pair of shelf rails and carefully push the shelf
back into position. Make sure the 2 stops at
the rear corners of the shelf securely fit into
the notches at rear of the liner.
Fixed Door Bin
The fixed door bin is especially designed

background
17
SAVING ENERGY
Locate the appliance in the coolest
area of the room, away from heat-pro-
ducing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing them in the unit. Over-
loading the appliance forces the com-
pressor to run longer. Foods that freeze
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the unit. This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the unit.
Do not line shelves and baskets with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less ecient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Re-
move as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.
