IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation 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 responsible 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.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment 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
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this
appliance will operate properly.

- 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 affected. Operating the unit with insufficient 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 off 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.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your appliance you must unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.

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 to hold large containers or freezer
bags.
- 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 efficient.
- 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Some upright freezers are frost-free
and defrost automatically but should be cleaned occasionally.
Cleaning the Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of baking
soda in 1 qt. (1 l) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the
sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical
parts.
