Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About the operation of your freezer. Starting the Freezer 1 Clean the inside of the freezer with a mild solution of baking soda and water (see Care and Cleaning). 2 Connect cord to power outlet. 3 On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the switch to the OFF position. 4 Make sure the temperature control is set at 4. 5 Allow freezer to operate for at least four hours before placing food inside. 6 On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the switch to the ON position. Temperature Control Freezing temperature selection is made by setting the control from 1 to 7 (coldest). If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the control one step at a time. Allow several hours after each one-step adjustment for the freezer temperature to stabilize. Turning the control to the OFF position stops the cooling process but does not shut off power to the freezer. Power-On Light (on some models) The Power-On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power. The light glows even when the temperature control is turned off. Key-Ejecting Lock (on some models) The key for the spring-loaded lock is automatically ejected-key will not remain in lock in either the open or closed position. Keep the key out of reach of children and away from the freezer. Installation Instructions Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips 4
