This appliance is designed for efciency with
heavy foam insulation. However, there are
things that the user can do to maintain the
appliance in operating condition.
• Do not operate the appliance any colder
than necessary to maintain safe, product
storage temperatures.
• Make sure the appliance is located to
prevent direct exposure to sunlight, air
ducts, etc.
• Keep the lid closed except for normal
use. Inspect the door often to see that it
self-closes and the gaskets are in good
condition.
• Do not overstock the product in the
cabinet because it will block the normal
air ow. See illustration below:

• This appliance operates more efciently
in a cooler ambient temperature than
in a hot ambient temperature. Try to
maintain an ambient temperature below
80ºF (27ºC) and 65% RH (Relative
Humidity) for maximum efciency.
Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, 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.
WARNING
Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if
freezer is off for several hours.
