Do not place the freezer next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the freezer operate more efficiently.
Care & Cleaning 19 • Turning the freezer temperature control to “OFF” (See Page 9) turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the LED lights or other electrical components.
