STARTING THE FREEZER
After the freezer has been properly connected to a power source, the compressor will automatically turn on and
the cabinet will begin cooling. Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 4 hours prior to adding foodstuff.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature within the freezer compartments is controlled by the thermostat situated on the top of the
freezer area. When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a maximum setting until
desired freezer temperatures are achieved. The correct internal temperature setting can be found by measuring
the temperature of the central or middle portion in the appliance.
• The larger numbers indicate the coldest setting.
• The smaller numbers indicate the warmest setting.
When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a maximum setting (4) until desired
refrigeration temperatures are achieved. The correct internal temperature setting can be found by measuring
the temperature of the central or middle portion in the appliance. Internal temperature of the appliance can vary
based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items stored and how frequently the door is opened. Note: The
freezer will run a few degrees colder at high elevations.
OPTIMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
THERMOSTAT SETTING
Optimal Setting = 1.6
Setting = 4
NOTE: Setting 1 being warmest and 4 coldest
ADJUSTMENTS
As the ambient temperature changes with the season, it may be necessary to adjust the thermostat to achieve
the proper internal temperature. If the room/ambient temperature approaches the appliance's internal operating
temperature, the appliance will not function as it should. The appliance will tend to run colder during these
conditions and it may be necessary to turn the thermostat to a warmer setting (lower number). If the room/
ambient temperature exceeds 100˚F (38˚C), the appliance will not function as it should. The appliance will tend
to run warmer and it may be necessary to turn the thermostat to a colder setting (towards the maximum setting).
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There are adjustable legs on the bottom of the front of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.
1.
Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of
the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the appliance is level.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR
The doors are fitted with uniform sealing strips to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the freezer
compartments.
Be sure that the doors and door seals are free from obstructions and form a complete seal around the rim of the
freezer cabinets. Over-stuffing and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will prevent a good seal. It might be
hard to open the door immediately after the door is closed. This is due to air contraction in the freezer cabinets.
This pressure difference will equalize in a few seconds, making the doors easy to open once again.
OPERATION
FREEZER TEMPERATURE
-10˚C to -15˚C
14˚F to 5˚F
-25˚C / 5˚F
NOTE: Mechanical temperature
controller has a + or - , 0.5 range. The
freezer will run a few degrees colder at
high elevations.
