QUICK FREEZE
Quick Freeze enables the compressor to run
continuously to help cool large quantities of warm
(room temperature) foods faster. Always cool down
hot foods to room temperature before placing them in
the freezer. Use this feature just prior to adding large
quantities of unfrozen foods (not to exceed 3
pounds per cubic foot of freezer space). For
example, do not place more than 45 pounds of room
temperature food into a 15 cubic foot freezer.
To activate the Quick Freeze feature, push the
QUICK FREEZE button. The control panel will beep
once and the display will now read "FF"
indicating that Quick Freeze has begun.
For your convenience, Quick Freeze will
automatically turn off after a period of 72 hours and
the freezer will return to the previous temperature
setting. You may deactivate Quick Freeze at any time
by pressing the QUICK FREEZE button. The display
will return to showing the current temperature inside
the freezer and the control panel will beep once.
