Using Your Freezer
Setting the temperature control
Turn control to ?4.? This setting is designed to
maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (- 17.6%)
under normal operating conditions.
l Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 6 hours before filling
with frozen food.
l Let freezer cool overnight before adding large
amounts of unfrozen food. Never add more
than 2-3 pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot
of freezer space.
NOTE: When freezer is first started the com-
pressor will run constantly until the cabinet is
cooled. It may take up to 6 to 6 hours or longer,
depending on room temperature and the number
of times the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep freezer at proper
temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This
is normal. The freezer?s design and main function
is to remove heat from packages and air space
inside the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air, so the outside walls of the freezer may
be warm.
Adjusting the temperature control
l Turn control to higher number for colder
temperatures.
l Turn to lower number for less cold temperatures.
