To help you get
the most from your
new freezer
Before you freeze the first apple
pie, you will want to know all
about your new Whirlpool
freezer. That’s what this Use and
Care Guide is all about. It tells
you how to start it, fill it, clean it...
even what to do if anything goes
wrong. See handy Self-service
Check List on back page of
simple problems you can SOlVe
yourself without the wasted time
and possible expense of a need-
less service call. After all, who
needs a service technician to
plug back in an electric cord
that’s been accidentally
pulled out?
Before you use your
freezer
It is your personal
responsibility to make sure that
your new freezer:
l Is installed by a qualified
installer.
l Has been installed where it is
protected from the elements.
l Has been installed in a level
area on a floor that is strong
enough to support the weight.

Energy saving tips
l Check door or lid gaskets for
tightness of seal. If freezer has a
lock, keeping it locked can
help insure door closure and
good seal. Level cabinet
properly to assure a good door
seal.
l Keep door openings to a
minimum. Remove as many
items at one time as possible.
Keep ioods organized to
eliminate searching.
l Fill to capacity. However, do
not add too much unfrozen food
at one time. Follow
recommended loading
procedures.
l Frost should not build up to
more than %-inch (6 mm) thick
(reduces efficiency).
l Set cold control to provide the
right degree of cold
temperature. Temperature
should be about 0°F [ -22°C).
There is no need to store foods
below 0°F.
l Do not locate freezer next to or
near a heat source, such as a
range, water heater, furnace,
etc.
