In order to obtain the best possible results from your freezer, you must operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Setting the temperature control

Turn the control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8%) 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. Never add more than 2-3 pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.

NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on room tem- perature and the number of times the freezer door is opened.

After the cabinet is cooled, the compres- sor 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. This heat is transferred to the room air, so the outside of the freezer may feel warm.

Adjusting the temperature control

Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.

Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
