Using your freezer

Setting the Cold Control...

1.Insert a coin In the slot of the Cold Control to turn it

2.Turn control to Number 3 This settrng WIII marn-

tarn zero zone temperatures under normal op- erating conditions

Adjusting Cold Control ...

l Turn control to higher number for colder temperatures

l Turn to lower number for less cold temperatures

Coollng Freezer First.. .

l Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.

l Let it cool overnight before adding large amount of unfrozen food.

Note: When 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 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 freezer at 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 walls of the freezer may be warm.

Temperature Alarm.. .

The Temperature Alarm [located on the lower right front of the freezer] works together with an

electronic Temperature Sensor (located inside

the freezer - sensing freezer temperature) to

alert the user to an abnormal condition which

has caused freezer temperature to rise to a level which may be unsafe for frozen food storage. It is

designed to sound a continuous tone if the freezer becomes warm.

Freezer temperature may become too warm if...

l The lid is not tightly closed.

l The lid has been opened too many times, or has been left open too long.

l The Cold Control is not set correctly. l A large food load has been added. l The freezer is disconnected.

*There has been a power failure, or a circuit- breaker is tripped or a fuse blown.
