Temperature Control

Freezing temperature selection is made by
setting the control from 1 to 7 (coldest).
If you want colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the control one step at a time.
Power-On Light
(on some models)
The Power-On Light indicates that the freezer
is properly connected to the electrical power.
Key-Ejecting Lock
(on some models)
The key for the spring-loaded lock is
automatically ejected—key will not
remain in lock in either the open or
closed position.
Allow several hours after each one-step
adjustment for the freezer temperature
to stabilize.
Turning the control to the OFF position stops
the cooling process but does not shut off
power to the freezer.
The light glows even when the temperature
control is turned off.
Keep the key out of reach of children and
away from the freezer.
