In order to obtain the best possible results from your freezer, you must operate it properly. This
section will tell you how to do just that.
Setting the temperature control
Turn the control to 4. This setting is designed
to maintain the temperature at or near 0 F
(-17.8 C) under normal operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before
filling with frozen food. Let the freezer cool
overnight before adding large amounts of
unfrozen food. Never add more than 2-3
pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of
freezer space.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the
compressor will run constantly until the cabinet
is cooled. It may take up to 6 to 8 hours or
longer, depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer door is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor
will turn on and off as needed to keep the
freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm.
This is normal. The freezer's design and main
function is to remove heat from packages and
air space inside the freezer. This heat is
transferred to the room air, so the outside of the
freezer may feel warm.
Adjusting the temperature control
• Turn control to a higher number for colder
temperatures.
•
Turn control to a lower number for less cold
temperatures.
