MID LEVEL LIGHT
The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. To
replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF and
unplug the electrical cord. Remove the lens from the lamp housing
by unsnapping it from the lamp housing using your fingers or a
screwdriver. Be careful not to break the locking tabs on the lamp
housing. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same type and
wattage. To replace the lens, snap one side of the lens opening to
the tab on the lamp housing. Then carefully attach the other side.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The freezer should be located in the coolest
area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating
ducts,
and
out
of
direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the freezer. Overloading
the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that
freeze too
slowly
may
spoil
or
lose
quality.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on
frost
build-up
inside the
freezer.
Freezer 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.
VACATION AND MOVINGTIPS
ShortVacations:
Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less
than three weeks.
Long Vacations:
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 door 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.

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at
least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure
continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer
every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under Dry
Ice, Dairies,
or Ice Cream Manufacturers for
local
dry
ice
suppliers.
Always
wear gloves
and
use
caution
when handling dry
Ice.
If the freezer has stopped operating, see
Freezer Does Not
Run
In the Troubleshooting Guide. If you cannot solve the
problem, call Sears Service immediately.
If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions
above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary,
take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to
operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under
Frozen Food Locker
Plants.
