Operating Instructions; Cooling The Freezer First; Features; Cold Control Knob - Kenmore GALAXY Use And Care Manual

If you are not sure the outlet is adequately grounded, you
should have a qualified electrician check the outlet.
No food should be stored in the freezer until the freezer has
obtained the set operation temperature. Refer to Cooling
the Freezer First below.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Cooling the Freezer First

After plugging the freezer in, it must run for 3 hours in
order to cool before placing any food inside. Make sure
the cold control knob is set at "4" (Factory Settings).
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cold. After the cabinet is
cooled the compressor will cycle on and off as needed to
keep the freezer at the set 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 through
the outside walls of the freezer so they usually feel warm
to the touch.

FEATURES

The features described below are not incorporated on all
FREEZERS. It is important that you familiarize yourself
with the features present on your freezer.

Cold Control Knob

The cold control knob is located inside the freezer.
The cold control knob has been preset at the factory at
the standard operating temperature (position 4).
Figure 3
0
The freezer temperature may be adjusted by setting the
cold control knob from number 1 (warmest) to number 7
(coldest).
Setting the cold control knob at the number "0" where it
clicks will switch off power to the compressor.
NOTE: When the cold control knob is set at position "0"
the temperature in the freezer will rise to room
temperature and the freezer contents will defrost.
Setting the cold control knob to number "0"
position (Off) does not remove power to the freezer.
Do not attempt to do any cleaning, repairs or
defrost the freezer without first unplugging the
freezer first.
Fast Freeze (some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run
continuously, driving the freezer temperature to the coldest
possible temperature. To activate, turn control knob to which
is the coldest setting. Use this feature just before adding
large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do not
exceed 3 pounds per cubic foot. Return to you normal setting
after 24 to 48 hours.
LIGHTS
Interior Light (Some Models)
The interior light is located on the inside of the freezer at
the top of the food liner. The light turns on when the door
is opened and turns off when the door is closed.
Replacement bulbs may be obtained through your nearest
Sears parts department.
Power Light (Some Models)
The power light is amber in color and is located in the
toeplate of the freezer. The purpose of the power warning
light is to warn you when there is an interruption in power
to the freezer. When the power light is on, the freezer is
receiving electrical power. If the light is off, there is an
absence of power to the freezer (due to blown fuse,
tripped circuit breaker, loose power cord, etc.) This light
does not guarantee a sufficiently cold temperature inside.
IMPORTANT: The power light indicates electrical power
only. It does not indicate that there is a sufficiently cold
temperature inside the freezer.
