Temperature Control
The freezer temperature control uses a range of settings from
0 to 7. When set at zero the freezer is OFF—it does not cool or
maintain a cool temperature. Setting 1 is the warmest
temperature setting and setting 7 is the coldest.
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.
When plugging in the freezer for the first time:
1. Set freezer temperature setting to 4.
2. Wait 3 to 6 hours.
3. Add food.
4. After 24 hours, adjust control as desired.
To adjust freezer temperature:
1. Set household thermometer snugly between frozen packages.
• Thermometer can also be placed 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 temperatures ranging from -5° to 50°F.
2. Wait 5 to 8 hours.
3. Check temperature.
• Temperature should read between 0° to 2° F.
• If temperature is not in range, adjust control only one number
at a time.
• If temperature needed adjustment, wait an additional 5 to 8 hours and
recheck temperature.
