Temperature control

NOTE: If the freezer is laid on its side
during shipping or transport, place the
freezer upright and wait 12 hours before
plugging it in. This prevents damage to
the freezer.
The freezer control turns the cooling
system on.
Initial control setting:
1. Set the freezer control on 4.
2. Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours
before filling with frozen food. Let the
freezer cool overnight before adding
large amounts of unfrozen food.
Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds of
unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer
space.
3. 24 hours after adding food, adjust
control as desired.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started,
the compressor will run constantly until
the cabinet is cooled. This may take up to
6-8 hours or longer, depending on room
temperature and the number of times the
freezer is opened.
The outside of your freezer may feel
warm. This is normal. The freezer's
design and main function is to remove the
heat from packages and air space inside
the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air, so the outside of the freezer may
feel warm.
Adjusting the control:
1. Set household thermometer snugly
between frozen packages or place
thermometer in a glass of vegetable
oil, placed in freezer (vegetable oil will
not freeze).
• Thermometer should be designed for
use with freezer.
• Thermometer should read tempera-
tures ranging from -5° to 50° F
(-21° to 10° C).
2. Wait 5 to 8 hours.
3. Check temperature.
• Temperature should read 0° F (-18° C)
or slightly below.
4. If temperature is not in range, adjust
control only one number at a time.
• Turn the control to a higher number if
a colder temperature is desired.
• Turn the control to a lower number if a
less cold temperature is desired.
5. Wait an additional 24 hours and
recheck temperature.
