Temperature Control

For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to
cool down completely. The freezer 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 food should NOT be placed in the
freezer until it has operated for 4 hours. Allow several
hours after each one-step adjustment for the freezer
temperature to stabilize.

Electromechanical Temperature Control
The electromechanical temperature control
is preset to give satisfactory food storage
temperatures. It is adjustable to provide a
range of temperatures. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.
When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of
fresh food per cubic foot of space at a time. Distribute
packages evenly throughout the freezer. It is not
necessary to turn the control knob to a colder setting
while freezing food.
Turning the control to OFF stops the cooling process
but does not shut off power to the freezer.
The electromechanical temperature control is
inside the freezer.
