 NOTE
Your appliance may have some, or all of the
features listed below. Become familiar with
these features, and their use and care.
SETTING THE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the unit
to cool down completely. The appliance will run
continuously for the first several hours. Foods that
are already frozen may be placed in the freezer
after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen
foods should NOT be loaded into the freezer until
freezer has operated for four (4) hours.
When loading freezer, freeze only three (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 the control knob to a colder
setting while freezing food.
Door Removal
If door must be removed, unplug the unit.
1. Gently lay appliance on its back, on a rug
or blanket.
2. Remove two base screws and base panel.
3. Remove wire from clips on bottom of
cabinet if required.
4. Unplug connector, if required, by holding
the cabinet connector in place, and pulling

FIRST STEPS
3. Once the inside surface snaps in place,
continue the process by rolling the handle
clip slightly outward and pressing down
firmly to snap onto the outside surface. If
installed incorrectly, the handle clip will not
lay flat.
Temperature Control
Electromechanical Temperature Control
(some models)
The convertible model can operate as either a
freezer or a refrigerator. The electromechanical
temperature control provides this adjustment and
is located inside the appliance. 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.
To adjust the temperature setting, turn
the temperature control knob clockwise or
counterclockwise. When the dial indicator is in
the “fridge” section, the unit is in refrigerator
mode. Turning past that section into the
“freezer” portion, selects the freezer mode. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize
between adjustments.
