manual abstract
The unit should not be accessible to child's play. • In the case of long term storage, the unit should be sealed with tape, or have the door removed. > Moving Your Freezer ’ • Remove all the food. • Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer. • Remove the rollers to prevent damage • Tape the doors shut. • Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation. > 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 the direct sunlight. V 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 storage bin 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. 12 PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FREEZER? You can solve many common freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see If you can solve the problem before calling the servicer. TROUBLESh HOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE Freezer does not operate. Not plugged in. The circuit breaker tripped or blown fuse. The freezer temperature control is set at "0/0FF". Compressor turns on and off frequently. The room temperature is hotter than normal. A large amount of food has been added to the freezer. The door is open too often. The door is not closed completely. The temperature control is not set correctly. The door gasket does not seal properly. '. The freezer does not have the correct clearances. The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the freezer to cool down completely. Temperature inside the freezer is too warm. Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the control to a cooler setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. The door is not closed completely. The door gasket does not seal properly. A large amount of warm or hot food might have been stored recently. Wait until the freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature. The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the freezer to cool down completely. Temperature inside the freezer is too cold. * \ Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Fast Freeze switch is turned on. This causes continuous running of the compressor and bypasses the temperature control. Temperature of external freezer surface is warm. The exterior freezer walls can be as much as 30°F warmer than room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet. Louder sound levels whenever freezer is on. A. Modern freezers have increased storage capacity and more even temperatures. They require high efficiency compressors. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the compressor running while it cools the interior. Louder sound levels when compressor comes on. Freezer operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run. 13 popping or cracking sound when compressor comes on. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction,-as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run. Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating throuqhout the system. This is normal. Vibrations. Check to assure that the freezer is level. Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by putting wood or metal shims under part of the freezer. The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the freezer and move it from the wall. See "Installation Instructions" Moisture forms on inside freezer walls. Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal. Door is slightly open. Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often. The door is not sealed properly. Moisture forms on outside of freezer. Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside. The door will not close properly. The freezer is not level. The gasket is dirty. The sto...
