2. Move the freezer to its final location.
3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the rollers
are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This
keeps the freezer from rolling forward when opening the freezer
door.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the
brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep
the freezer level.
4. Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the door
opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however, the door
does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the freezer takes some
weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.
■ Open the freezer door. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both brake feet
clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the freezer. It
may take several turns to allow the door to close more easily.
5. Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady or
rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Freezer:
■ Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both brake
feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug
against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust
the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the freezer does
not roll forward when the door is opened.
6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters from
the freezer wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through the
vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are
blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture
problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or
cover foods tightly.
Using the Control
Style 1—Manual Defrost Models
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed to
maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-18°C) under normal operating
conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.
NOTE:
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or
longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the
freezer door is opened. After the freezer is cooled, the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from packages
and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air,
making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
