Energy Conservation Measures This appliance is designed for efficiency with heavy foam insulation. However, there are things that the user can do to maintain the appliance in operating condition. • Do not operate the appliance any colder than necessary to maintain safe, product storage temperatures. • Make sure the appliance is located to prevent direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc. • Keep the lid closed except for normal use. Inspect the lid often to see that it self-closes and the gaskets are in good condition. • Do not overstock the product in the cabinet because it will block the normal air flow. See illustration below. 5" Periods of Non-use and Moving Tips Leave the freezer operating during periods of non-use of less than three (3) weeks. Long Periods of Non-use If the freezer will not be used for several months: • Remove all food and unplug the power cord. • Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. • Leave the freezer lid open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth. Moving When moving the freezer, follow these guidelines to prevent damage: • Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. • Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer. • Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. • In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect outside of freezer with a blanket or similar item. • Have at least annual inspections by a qualified service company to see that the refrigerant charge is correct. • This appliance operates more efficiently in a cooler ambient than in a hot ambient. Try to maintain an ambient below 80ºF (27ºC) and 65% RH (Relative Humidity) for maximum efficiency. 6
