13.8 Cu. Ft. Upright Convertible Freezer/Refrigerator Tips on saving energy • Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight. • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. • Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. • The freezer storage shelves should not be lined 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. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible. Understanding Alerts High Temp Alert The freezer is having trouble maintaining a cold temperature. You will get this alert if: • FREEZER MODE: the inside temperature is over 18° F (-8° C) for 36 hours. • FRIDGE MODE: If the inside temperature is over 59° F (15° C) for 36 hours. The LED on control panel turns on and a beep sounds. If the temperature returns to a normal range, the alert turns off. You can also press any button to turn it off. Here are some possible causes: • The room is too warm. For example, the freezer is in a garage in the summer next to a car with a hot engine. • The ventilation openings are blocked or dusty. • There is too much frost build up. • There are door seal gaps. Door Open Alert If the door is open for more than five minutes, the door open alert is activated a buzzer sounds intermittently. Close the door to turn off the alert and check to make sure that nothing is blocking the door, preventing it from closing. Also, check to make sure that the freezer is level. An unlevel freezer may prevent the door from closing properly.
