To obtain the best possible results from your freezer, you must operate it properly. This
section will tell you how to do that.

Using Your Freezer

Setting the temperature control

4

Turn the control to 4.

This setting is

designed to maintain the temperature at or

near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating

conditions.

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 2-3
pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of
freezer space.

NOTE:

When the freezer is first started, the

compressor will run constantly until the
cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 to 8

hours or longer, depending on room tem­
perature and the number of times the

freezer door is opened.

After the cabinet is cooled, the compres­

sor will turn on and off as needed to keep
the freezer at the 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 of the freezer may feel warm.

Adjusting the temperature control

• Turn control to a higher number for

colder temperatures.

• Turn control to a lower number for less

cold temperatures.
