Using your freezer
Setting the Cold Control...
1. Insert a coin in the slot of the Cold Control to
turn it.
2. Turn control to Number 3, This setting will main­
tain zero zone temperatures under normal op­
erating conditions
Adjusting Cold Control...
• Turn control to higher number for colder
temperatures
• Turn to lower number tor less cold temperatures
Cooling Freezer First...
• Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling
with frozen food.
• Let it cool overnight before adding large
amount of unfrozen food.
Note: When 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 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 ahd air space
inside the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air so the walls of the freezer may be warm.
Temperature Alarm.
The Temperature Alarm (located on the lower
right front of the freezer) works together with an
electronic Temperature Sensor (located inside
the freezer - sensing freezer temperature) to
alert the user to an abnormal condition which
has caused freezer temperature to rise to a level
which may be unsafe far frozen food storage. It is
designed to sound a continuous tone if the
freezer becomes warm.
Freezer temperature may become too warm
if...
• The lid is not tightly closed.
• The lid has been opened too many times, or
has been left open too long.
• The Cold Control is not set correctly.
• A large food load has been added.
• The freezer is disconnected.
• There has been a power failure, or a circuit-
breaker is tripped or a fuse blown.
When the Temperature
Alarm Switoh is ON, the
Temperature Sensor in the
freezer senses freezer tem­
perature. If the temperature becomes too warm,
the Temperature Alarm is desighed to sound a
continuous tone.
You will hear a different sound if the battery is
aboutto wearout.Thealarm isdesighed ta beep
(chirp) every 30 to 60 seconds to indicate a fail­
ing battery.
If the Temperature Alarm
sounds a continuous tone OFF
and the Temperature
Alarm switch is ON, move
the switch to OFF.
Make sure you know why the freezer became
too warm. If the problem is serious (power failure)
and service or assistance is needed, see page
8. If the problem is simple (lid open, freezer un­
plugged) correct it. Move the switch back to ON
when the freezer is cold again.
Check the battery often
by moving the Tempera­
ture Alarm Switoh to the
Test position. The alarm
should sound a continuous
tone, regardless of freezer
temperature. If the alarm doesn't sound a tone
with the switch in the TEST position, replace the
battery immediately.
