Loading...
1. Before freezing large quantities of food,
turn Cold Control to highest position and
let freezer operate for several hours.
2. To speed freezing, lay packages in a sin­
gle layer so each rests on the freezing
surface of a shelf. Leave space between
packages.
3. Add more unfrozen food after first load is
frozen (approximately 18 to 24 hours).
4. After all food is frozen, return Cold Control
to the usual setting.
Storing frozen food...
After food is frozen, stack packages any­
where in the freezer. Packages should not
extend beyond the shelf edge or they may
keep the door from closing and sealing
properly.
Door storage - Store packages on the door
shelves behind the retaining bar.
Energy Saving Tips...
• Check door gasket and level freezer to as­
sure a good door seal.
• Keep door openings to a minimum. Re­
move several items at one time. Keep con­
tents organized to eliminate searching.
• Fill to capacity. Follow recommended pro­
cedures for freezing foods.
• Set Cold Control to provide temperatures
around O F (-22 C). There is no need to
store foods below O F.
• Do not let frost build up to more than % inch
(6 mm) thick. Efficiency is reduced.
Vacation and
moving care
Vacafions...
Arrange for someone to make regular checks
of your freezer to make sure it is operating and
electricity has not been interrupted.
Shuffing off and moving...
If freezer is shut off for more than 24 hours:
1. Remove and store all food.
2. Unplug freezer.
3. Clean and defrost. See "Cleaning Your
Freezer," page 4.
4. Place blocks between door and cabinet for
air circulation. Tape in place with self­
adhesive filament tape.
If you move the freezer:
• Do not place objects inside or on top of
cabinet.
• Level properly to insure good door seal.
CAUTION: To help prevent accidents, do
not allow children near the freezer when
the door is blocked open.
