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.

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.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. You can remove any glue left from the tape with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
