NOTE

You must read these warnings carefully before installing or using the appliance. If you need assistance, contact your place of purchase. The manufacturer will not accept liability, should these instructions or any other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

FIRST STEPS

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the unit, follow these important first steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 43^ C. Temperatures of 0^ C and below will NOT affect operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 75 mm space on all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

text_image 75 mm 75 mm 75 mm Installation

NOTE

The exterior walls of the unit may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as -1°C warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your appliance.

Leveling

The appliance must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.

NOTE

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

To level Upright Units:

Use a carpenter's level to level the appliance from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 12 bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To level Chest Units:

If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.

Philco MUFF17VLRT - To level Chest Units: - 1

CAUTION

To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Cool Down Period

  • For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the appliance to cool down completely. The unit will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in the unit after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours.
  • When loading freezer, freeze only 1.36 kg of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It is not necessary to turn control knob to a colder setting while freezing food.

Electromechanical Temperature

Control (chest and some upright models)

The temperature control is located inside the freezer on upright models, and on the left exterior wall on chest models. The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Philco MUFF17VLRT - ENERGY-SAVING TIPS - 1

text_image SAVE MONEY SAVE ENERGY
  • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
  • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the appliance 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 unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
  • 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 openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.

Philco MUFF17VLRT - ENERGY-SAVING TIPS - 2

CAUTION

Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands.

Some upright freezers are frost-free and defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally.

Between Defrosting

To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument to remove frost.

Philco MUFF17VLRT - Between Defrosting - 1

CAUTION

Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when defrosting unit.

Defrosting

It is important to defrost and clean freezer when 6 mm to 12 mm of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on upper part of the freezer due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the door open when defrosting the freezer.

- On upright models with a defrost drain (Figure 1), remove drain plug on the inside floor of the freezer by pulling straight out. To access external drain tube on models with a base panel, first remove the 2 screws from the base panel. Locate the drain tube near the left center under the freezer. Place a shallow pan under the drain tube. Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. A 12 mm garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain. If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Replace the drain plug when defrosting and cleaning are completed. If the drain is left open, warm air may enter freezer.

CARE AND CLEANING

- On chest models with a defrost drain, place a shallow pan beneath the drain outlet (Figure 2). A 12 mm garden hose adapter can be used to drain the freezer directly into a floor drain (Figure 3). If your model is not equipped with an adapter, one can be purchased at most hardware stores. Pull out the drain plug inside the freezer, and pull off the outside defrost drain plug (Figure 4).

  • Defrost water will drain out. Check pan occasionally so water does not overflow. Replace the drain plugs when defrosting is completed.
  • On models without a defrost drain, place towels or newspapers on the freezer bottom to catch the frost. The frost will loosen and fall. Remove towels and/or newspapers.
  • If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and hard, fill deep pans with hot water and place them on the freezer bottom. Close the freezer door. Frost should soften in about 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure if necessary.

Cleaning the Inside

After defrosting, wash inside surfaces of the unit with a solution of 25 g of baking soda in 1 liter warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the Outside

Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food.

Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

Philco MUFF17VLRT - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Do not open door unnecessarily if unit is off for several hours.

Vacation and Moving Tips

Short Vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks.

Long Vacations: If the unit will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.

Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost, and then clean the appliance. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure the unit in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect outside of unit with a blanket, or similar item.

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for over 2 days (upright/convertible) or 3 days (chest) if the appliance is kept closed*. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the unit 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.

If the appliance has stopped operating,

see "Appliance does not run" in the BEFORE YOU CALL section of this manual. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized servicer immediately.

If the appliance remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the unit is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Frozen Food Locker Plants."
