Setting the temperature
control
o
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
temperature 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.
