Cold Control
o 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 room temperature before placing in
the freezer, Overloading the freezer forces the compres-
sor to run longer, Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality or spoil,
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the freezer, This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the freezer,
o Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil,
wax paper, or paper toweling, Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the freezer less efficient,
o Organize and label food to reduce door openings and
extended searches, Remove as many items as needed
at one time, and close the door as soon as possible,
COOL DOWN PERIOD
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to
cool down completely, The freezer will run continuously
for t he first several hours, Foods that a re already frozen @
may be placed in the freezer after the first few hours of
operat,on, Onfrozen foods should NOT be , oaded ,nto
the freezer until the freezer has o perated for 4 hours,
When loading the freezer, 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 the control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food,
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature control is located inside the freezer on
upright models, and on the left outside wall on chest
models, The temperature is factory preset to provide
satisfactory food storage temperatures, However, 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 several hours for temperatures
to stabilize between adjustments,
