NOTE

Your freezer may have some, or all of the

features listed below. Become familiar with

these features, and their use and care.

Electronic Temp Alarm

If a malfunction causes an unsafe temperature

inside the freezer, the high temp will display on the

control panel and the alarm will sound. To silence

the alarm, press the set button next to the “alarm

off” indicator on the display or any key on the

control panel.

Quick Freeze

Quick freeze can be enabled by entering into

the options menu on the control panel and by

pressing the “set” button once the indicator is

highlighted next to “quick freeze”. The unit will

be in quick freeze mode for 72 hours and will

show a snowflake indicator on the control panel

to indicate that it is in quick freeze mode. To exit

quick freeze mode, enter into the options menu

on the control panel and press the “set” button

once the indicator is highlighted next to “quick

freeze”, after which the snowflake indicator will

be removed from the control panel. Or quick

freeze will end automatically after 72 hours.

Control lock can be enabled by entering into the

options menu on the control panel and by pressing

the “set” button once the indicator is highlighted next

to “control lock”. A control lock icon will be displayed

on the control panel to indicate that the control panel

has been locked. To unlock, press and hold the set

button for 3 seconds, after which the lock indicator

will be removed from the control panel and the

control panel has been unlocked.

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 3 pounds

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 stabalize between adjustments.
