hours. Foods that are already frozen may be
placed in freezer after the first few hours of
operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be
loaded into freezer until freezer has operated
for 4 hours.

evenly throughout the freezer. It is not
necessary to turn control knob to a colder
setting while freezing food.
