Page 3: Appliance Safety
APPLIANCE SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your unit. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. The symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. - Page 4 Air the room in which the unit isolated for several minutes, and Contact the Service Department for advice. • The more coolant there is in a unit, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the unit is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Use two or more people to move and install your appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Page 6: Grounding Your Appliance
Grounding your Appliance A 115 Volt (AC only) 60 Hz grounded electrical supply with a 15- or 20- amp fuse or circuit breaker is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Key Eject Lock Some models have factory-installed lock to secure the contents of the unit. -
Page 7: Operating Your Appliance
OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the appliance. Do not block any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. Always position contents to allow some airflow between shelves or baskets. Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. -
Page 8: Setting The Temperature
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE For Dial Thermostats Your appliance may be controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures. • Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. -
Page 9: Traceable Thermometer Alarm
Traceable Thermometer/Alarm Some units are equipped with a Traceable Thermometer/ Alarm that simultaneously displays minimum, maximum, and current interior temperatures and provides a visual and audible signal when the temperature inside the unit falls outside the set temperature range. The temperature sensor, or probe, is enclosed in a glycol-filled bottle that you insert into the location to be monitored, such as inside a refrigerator or freezer, once the unit has been programmed. -

OPERATING SPECIFIC MODELS NOTE: Models with BI in the model number, or VT65/VLT650 models, are designed for built-in operation and need only minimal clearance on the sides and above the units.

Page 12: Cleaning And Care
CLEANING AND CARE Cleaning a Frost-Free Appliance (including models starting with EQFF and EQFR) Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your appliance. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost, and the water then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) where it is evaporated. -
