too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
unit. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside the freezer.
• Organize and label food to reduce lid
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and
close lid as soon as possible.
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.
• The freezer should
be located in the
coolest area of the
room, away from heat
producing appliances
or heating ducts, and
out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to
