OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
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. 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.
ADJUSTING CONTROL

Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

Deepfreeze™ (on some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To activate, adjust the control knob to the Deepfreeze™ setting. Use this feature just before adding large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,361 g) per cubic foot (28.32 L). Return to your normal setting after 24 to 48 hours. STYLE 2 – AUTOMATIC DEFROST MODELS
The temperature control is located at the front of the freezer compartment.
Temperature Control For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your freezer, check that the control is still set to the recommended setting as shown. Whirlpool W11395573B Upright

Freezer Features

The freezer you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the features may not match those of your model.
REFRIGERATED SHELVES – MANUAL DEFROST MODELS
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves. Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored directly
on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food packages. Whirlpool
W11395573B Upright Freezer - MODELS When placing the food packages in your freezer, please remember:

The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the door shelves or the freezer bottom.
Leave some space between the food packages so that cold air can pass over and around them.

FREEZER SHELVES
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights. This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:

Remove the shelf by lifting straight up and pulling the shelf out.
Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the side wall.

STORAGE GATE (on some models)
To Remove and Replace the Storage Gate:

Lift the top of the gate up and out of the supports.
Return the gate to original position. Lower the gate into the supports.
