To change the upper compartment to Freeze mode:
• Turnthe controlallthe way to FREEZE,
IMPORTANT: If the control is not turned all the way to FREEZE,
the upper compartment will not function properly as a freezer.
Your freezer is designed for use in the garage. If the upper
compartment is set to Freeze, your usual setting for the lower
compartment should be adequate for most summer or winter
conditions. Under extreme summer or winter conditions, you may
need to make minor adjustments to the upper compartment
control in order to maintain the desired temperature in the upper
compartment.
Lower Compartment Control
The lower compartment functions as a freezer at all times. The
control in the lower compartment controls the temperature in the
lower compartment and the temperature in the upper
compartment when the upper compartment is in Freeze mode.
NOTE: To turn your freezer off, turn the lower compartment
control to the word OFF and the upper compartment to FREEZE.
Your freezer will not cool when the lower compartment control is
set to OFF.
Co.Cold
IMPORTANT:
• When the upper compartment is in refrigeration mode, the
temperature is controlled by the upper control. When it is in
freeze mode, the temperature is controlled by the lower
compartment control.
• Give your freezer time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
freezer.
• If you add food before the freezer has cooled completely,
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Lower and Upper
Compartment Controls to a colder than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Controls
The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct
for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the lower or upper
compartment, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.
