Operating Your Freezer - Amana AZC31T15D User Manual

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the temperature control to 0 (align circle
on knob with desired number), as shown, to turn off cooling, and then
disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
Using the Control
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4 (align circle on knob
with desired number), as shown below. 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.
NOTE:
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
■
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or
longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times
the freezer lid 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 the
contents and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the
room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting the Control
Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures. "7" is
■
the coldest setting.
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures. "0" is
■
off or defrost mode.
