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 lose quality or spoil.

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 and baskets 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/lid openings and
extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close door/lid as soon as possible.

Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this freezer.

For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance. Read
product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Child Safety

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children should
never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

A child might suffocate if he crawls into the freezer to hide or
play. Remove the door/lid of the freezer when not in use, even
if you plan to discard the freezer.

 Many communities have laws

requiring you to take this safety precaution.

Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves
during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

Risk of Child Entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents:

Remove the door/lid.

Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.

Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.
