PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

SUFFOCATION AND ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

Failure to follow these disposal instructions can result in death or serious injury.

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

Before You Throw Away Your Old Appliance

Take off the door.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerant and Foam Disposal

Dispose of the refrigerator according to local and federal regulations. Flammable refrigerant and insulation material used require special disposal procedures. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal of your refrigerator.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape,, printed materials before powering on the freezer.

Risk of Fire or Explosion due to the rupture of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerants use refrigerants. Handle with care when moving the freezer to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

ADJUSTING YOUR FREEZER

Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45° angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
If the freezer is tilted, let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.

PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing, a electrical connections.

The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:

Sides. . . . . 2 in. (5.08cm)
Back. . . . . . 2 in. (5.08cm)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT

Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding pin in order to accommodate a two-prongletThe a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding pin for the freezer and may result in a shock hazard.

INSTALL LIMITATIONS

Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage, etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature settings less than 0 or more than 110°Fahrenheit.
Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources, e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected.
Do not install the freezer in a location exposed to rain, direct sunlight.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug, which matches a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of an electrical shock hazard from this appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The freezer should always be plugged into its electrical outlet wh,, which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. A 115 115-Volt 60 60-Hz- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the g firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer. When moving the freezer away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it into an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15 amps.
Set the temperature on the temperature control knob, “1” being the warmest and “7” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on “4”. Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on indicating that the freezer is in operation). After using the freezer for 24 hours, set the freezer to your desired setting.
In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.

ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE DIAL

Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus OFF. “1” is the warmest, “7” is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “4” and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
(NOTE: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any periperiodit 24 hours before plugging the unit in,)N.TE: This indicator light is only active on the IF71CM33NW.

FOOD STORAGE BASKET

The removable basket allows you to store food measurably, or you can remove it if not needed.

FOOD STORAGE INFORMATION

Frozen Food

Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
Hot food should be allowed to cool before being stored in the freezer. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
When storing meats, keep them in their original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages that do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, out. Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in drying out of the improperly packaged food.
Follow the package or container instructions for proper storage.
Packaging Recommendations:
- Plastic containers with air-tight seals
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Plastic wrap made from sarSaranlm
- Self-sealing plastic bags
Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
These are some suggestions for safe storage:
TV Dinners: 3-4 months
Fresh Shrimp, scallops, crawfish: 3-6 months
Hamburger & stew meats: 3-4 months
Ground Turkey, veal, pork: 3-4 months
Chops: 4-6 months
Steaks: 6-12 months
Chicken or turkey, whole: 1 year

DEFROSTING AND DRAINING THE FREEZER

Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1 /4 in. thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the f,, frost as it may damage the cooling coils. A punctured coil will void the warranty.

Risk of Fire or Explosion due to the nature of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerants are not used. Do not use metal instruments to defrost the oven freezer. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
Turn the temperature control to OFFthe position and unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the freezer door open.
For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial and rotate it so that the arrow points downward. This will let the water flow out into the tray. When done, push the drain dial in and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. NOTE: Monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.
Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Boiling water, gurgling so,, unds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
