Installation instructions REMOVE PACKING MATERIALS: Remove materials, tape and labels before using the freezer. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the material. Clean your freezer before using it:

1. Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel

and mild detergent in warm water to clean outside and inside of freezer, door liner and gasket.

2. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

CHOOSE FREEZER LOCATION:

1. Locate the freezer in a safe place,

indoors, away from direct sunlight or heat sources such as a range, dish- washer, laundry equipment, heat vents or radiator.

2. DO NOT store flammables such as

gasoline near the freezer.

3. Check the strength of the floor. It

should hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer.

4. Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) between top

of freezer and the ceiling.

5. Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between

back of freezer and the wall.

6. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) on each side of the

freezer for ease of installation.

7. If the freezer is to be against a wall,

you might want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can be opened wider.

8. This freezer is designed to operate at

a household temperature of 55° to 110° F (12.8° to 43° C). Raise Lower Important safety information This appliance is equipped with a three- prong grounding plug for your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a grounding

eceptacle. Where a standard two-prong- wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circum- stances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.Do not use an adapter plug. Power supply cord with three-prong grounding plug Grounding type wall receptacle5 NOTE: If the freezer is laid on its side during shipping or transport, place the freezer upright and wait 12 hours before plugging it in. This prevents damage to the freezer. The freezer control turns the cooling system on. Initial control setting:

1. Set the freezer control on 4.

2. Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours

before filling with frozen food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.

3. 24 hours after adding food, adjust

control as desired. NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. This may take up to 6-8 hours or longer, depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer is opened. The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The freezer’s design and main function is to remove the heat from packages and air space inside the freezer. This heat is transferred to the room air, so the outside of the freezer may feel warm. Temperature control Adjusting the control:

1. Set household thermometer snugly

between frozen packages or place thermometer in a glass of vegetable oil, placed in freezer (vegetable oil will not freeze).

• Thermometer should be designed for use with freezer.

• Thermometer should read tempera- tures ranging from -5° to 50° F (-21° to 10° C).

2. Wait 5 to 8 hours.

3. Check temperature.

• Temperature should read 0° F (-18° C) or slightly below.

4. If temperature is not in range, adjust

control only one number at a time.

• Turn the control to a higher number if a colder temperature is desired.

• Turn the control to a lower number if a less cold temperature is desired.

5. Wait an additional 24 hours and

recheck temperature.6 Custom features Free-o-frost™ frost control system (SELECT MODELS) The Amana Free-O-Frost™ system auto- matically defrosts the freezer so you don’t have to. This allows the freezer to run more efficiently and quietly, minimizes odors, and takes the hassle out of keep- ing a freezer clean. Fast freeze (SELECT MODELS) Fast Freeze is a convenient feature that enables quicker freezing of large amounts of food. During Fast Freeze, the freezer runs continuously, to drive the freezer temperature down to its coldest level. To use Fast Freeze, simply turn the con- trol knob to the Igloo symbol. Then place unfrozen foods in the freezer cavity, spreading them out as much as possible. Return freezer to its normal setting after 24 to 48 hours. Interior light (SELECT MODELS) The interior light works to light the freez- er in poor or dimly lit conditions. The light is designed and tested to provide illumi- nation while minimizing heat generated if the door is accidentally left ajar. To replace the interior light, see the Hints and Care section. Power light (SELECT MODELS) The power light normally will be “ON.” Its purpose is to warn you when there is a power absence. If for any reason the power to the freezer is interrupted (blown fuse, loose plug, etc.) the indicator light will be “OFF.” To prevent child entrapment keep key out of reach of children and away from freezer. WARNING Door lock (SELECT MODELS) To use the door lock:

1. Insert key into lock approximately

2. Turn key clockwise to lock freezer and

counterclockwise to unlock. Once locked or unlocked, the lock will push the key out, preventing the key from being kept in the lock. Temperature monitor alarm (SELECT MODELS) Some freezer models feature a tempera- ture monitor that provides an audible alarm. The temperature monitor alarm is located near the temperature control. The alarm sounds if the temperature in the freezer rises 10° F (12° C) or more above normal for selected setting. Alarm may sound if temperature control dial is turned to a much colder setting or if a large amount of unfrozen food is added at one time. Alarm is controlled by a three position switch.

• 0 = OFF prevents alarm from sounding when freezer is warm, such as during initial start-up or defrosting.

• = TEST sounds alarm regardless of temperature. Alarm system should be tested at least once a month.

• 1 = ON is proper setting for nor mal freezer use. Return switch to 1 after defrosting. The presence of the light does not indicate proper food temperatures, or proper operation of the refrigeration system. CAUTION7 Hints and care PART DO

• To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to freezer before defrosting.

• Water damage due to improper defrosting or drainage may cause mold/mildew growth. WARNING Manual defrost freezers need to be defrosted when frost has accumulated to approximately

¼4" (6 mm) of thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning should be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, more frequent defrosting and cleaning may be necessary. The upper section of the freezer will generally have more frost accumulation than the lower. Frost should not be scraped or pulled out of the freezer, as damage may result. Amana Free-O-Frost™ (select models) freezers do not require defrosting. MANUAL DEFROST FREEZERS (SELECT MODELS)

1. Transfer food to another freezer or a

well insulated cooler.

2. Disconnect power to freezer.

4. Reach underneath the freezer and pull

out the defrost drain tube. Place the tube in a shallow pan or in a nearby floor drain.

5. Remove defrost drain plug (select

models) from the bottom front of the freezer liner so the defrost water will flow into the drain tube.

• Empty pan as often as necessary during the defrost. NOTE: Some models do not have a drain plug and water collecting from the defrost will have to be removed manually.

6. To speed defrosting, pans of hot water

may be placed on shelves in the freezer.

• Do not bend, scrape or try to move shelves. Shelves are part of the sealed cooling system and can be damaged.

Once defrosted, clean the freezer according to guidelines in Hints and Care.

Clean defrost drain using a bottle brush. Flush the drain with clear water before replacing the drain tube and drain plug.

• Drain plug must be properly installed and tightly sealed for efficient operation of the freezer.

9. Restore power to the freezer.

Defrosting (SELECT MODELS) (SELECT MODELS)10 Freezing guidelines Freezer burn? Freezer burn occurs when air reaches the surface of the food.The cold, dry air in the freezer causes the foodstuff to dry out in spots and lose quality. While freezer burn may not taste good, it does not make the food unsafe. Freezer burned portions should be cut away either before or after cooking the food. Color changes Color changes can occur in frozen foods. This can cause ground beef to go from a bright, red to a darker, duller brown due to lack of oxygen. Freezing normally doesn’t cause color changes in poultry, but it will cause changes to the color near the bones resulting in ‘bone darkening’. These changes are only visual changes and do not indicate poor quality or unsafe food. freezing facts Amana provides this information as a guide to aid in food preservation. For spe- cific questions regarding food handling, cooking, or storage contact USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555.

• You can freeze almost any food, the main exceptions being eggs still in the shell and cans of foods.

• Frozen food kept at 0° F (-18° C) or slightly below will always be safe. Only the quality of food suffers over time.

• It is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in supermarket wrapping. This wrapping is air permeable which allows freezer burn, so the meat should be used within one to two months.

• Freeze foods as quickly as possible. This prevents large ice crystals from forming which decreases food quality.

• Never stack packages to be frozen. Lay packages out in a single layer and then stack them after they are frozen.

• During a power outage, a full freezer will normally keep 2 days, a half full freezer about 1 day. Food should be stacked tightly to provide a nest of cold air–resisting thawing.

• As a general guideline, food 2" thick should freeze completely in about 2 hours. Defrosting foods There are basic methods to defrost food safely. Food should never be defrosted at room temperature. This allows unsafe bacteria to grow while the food is thawing. To defrost safely use:

• Refrigerator: this allows the food to thaw in an environment that controls bacterial growth. Most foods require a day or two to defrost, approximately one day for each 5 lbs. of weight.

• Cold water: place food in a leakproof bag and immerse it in cold water (If bag leaks, food will become contaminated by bacteria). Check water frequently to verify it stays cold. Change water every thirty minutes.After thawing, refrigerate the food until it is ready to use.

• Microwave: cook food immediately after using a microwave to defrost food. Microwave defrosting warms food and can partially cook it, allowing bacteria to grow as it defrosts. Food cannot be refrozen until it is cooked.11 Packaging Proper packaging helps prevent freezer burn, and helps limit odor transfer in the freezer. For short term storage, freeze meat or poultry directly in supermarket wrapping. This meat should be used within 1 to 2 months. For long term storage, follow these wrap- ping guidelines:

• Overwrap store wrapped packages with airtight heavy duty foil, plastic wrap, freezer paper or freezer bags.

• Freeze unopened vacuum wrapped packages as they are.

• Make sure lids are sealed tightly when using airtight freezer containers.

• Break down foods into smaller portions for faster freezing.

• Remove as much air as possible from packages before placing in the freezer.

• If a package has accidentally been torn or damaged while in the freezer, the food is still safe to eat. Just overwrap it or repackage it.

• It is not necessary to rinse meat or poultry before freezing. Cooking frozen foods Foods can be cooked or reheated directly from the frozen state. The cooking time will increase to almost one and a half times it would normally take. Remember when cooking poultry or meat to remove paper wrapping, giblet sacks, and any strings that might burn during cooking. Some meats, such as pre-stuffed whole birds, must be cooked from the frozen state to ensure food safety. Remember to read the USDA label on the meat. NOTE: Do not use a slow cooker for preparing foods from the frozen state. FREEZER STORAGE CHART* NOTE: Freezer storage time is for quality only. Frozen foods remain safe indefinitely.
