FREEZER USE

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the freezer wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through the vent near the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using theControl

Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.

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. Do not add more than 2 to 3 lbs (907 to 1,350 g) of unfrozen food per cubic foot (28.32 L) of freezer space.

NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or

8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.

The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.

Adjusting Control

■Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.

■Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

NOTE: The small snowflake icon represents the number 1 or the least cold setting. The large snowflake icon represents 6 or the coldest setting.

Fast Freeze (on some models)

This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To activate, adjust the control knob to the igloo icon, which represents the fast freeze setting. Use this feature just before adding large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,350 g) per cubic foot (28.32 L). Return to your normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.

Temperature Alarm (on some models)

The temperature monitor alarm is located to the left of the temperature control and sounds an audible alarm if the temperature reaches 10°F (-12°C) or more above normal for the selected setting.

The alarm is controlled by a three-position switch.

The proper setting for normal freezer use. The alarm

 

is on, and the amber light will be illuminated.

0Keeps the alarm from sounding when the freezer is warm, such as during start-up or defrosting.

✔Tests the alarm regardless of temperature.

Key Eject Lock

(on somemodels)

To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the lock.

If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting a replacement key.
