Adjust the Door

1.Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing materials.

2.Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the freezer. The back of the freezer rests on two fixed supports.

3.Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off of the floor.

NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs should be lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the freezer does not roll forward when the door is opened.

4.Place a leveling tool on top of the freezer first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.

5.Repeat Step 4 until freezer is level.

6.After freezer is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in Step 4.

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 the Control

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.
