FREEZER USE
Using theControl
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F
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 lbs (0.907 to 1.360 kg) 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 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet 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 the Control
■Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
■Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
