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.

Temperature control knob

The temperature control knob is located on the outside of the freezer cabinet on the lower right side. To adjust the temperature control, place a flat-bladed screw- driver or coin into slot and turn to the desired setting.

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.

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.
