Setting The Temperature Control - Frigidaire FFFC13M4TW Use & Care Manual

SETTING THE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the
freezer to cool down completely. The unit
will run continuously for the first several
hours. Foods that are already frozen may
be placed in the unit after the first few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should
NOT be loaded into the freezer until the
unit has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading the unit, freeze only 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
temperature control knob to a colder
setting while freezing food.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located on the right
outside wall. The temperature is factory preset to
provide satisfactory food storage temperatures.
The temperature control is adjustable to provide
a range of temperatures for your personal
satisfaction. If a colder temperature is desired,
turn the temperature control knob toward
COLDEST and allow 24 hours for temperatures to
stabilize between adjustments.

CARE & CLEANING
CAUTION
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces.
Do not touch interior metal surfaces with
wet or damp hands.
Between Defrostings
To avoid frequent defrosting, occasionally use
a plastic scraper to remove frost. Scrape with
a pulling motion. Never use a metal instrument
to remove frost.
CAUTION
Freezer must be unplugged (to avoid
electrical hazard) from power source when
cleaning or defrosting unit.
Defrosting
It is important to defrost and clean the freezer
when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated.
Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the
upper part of the unit due to warm, moist air
entering the freezer when the door is opened.
Remove food and leave the lid open when
defrosting the unit.
If the frost is soft, remove it by using a
plastic scraper. If the frost is glazed and
hard, unscrew drain plug on floor of freezer,
and unscrew outside drain plug located on
the lower left front of the freezer. Place a
shallow pan beneath the drain outlet to collect
water. Check pan occasionally so water does
not overflow. Replace the drain plugs once
defrosting is completed.
