Operating Your Freezer
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the
freezer will not start.
Temperature Control for models VT65M, VT65ML, VT65MBI and VT65MLBI
• The temperature control is a dial-operated thermostat
located at the front of the freezer, in the upper right
corner above the door. When the freezer operates
automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by
the thermostat. Normally, the thermostat setting
should be in the middle, between max and min. (See
illustration.)
:
• We recommend thermostat settings closer to max
only in cases when you want to accelerate cooling
such as before loading a number of unfrozen items.
Settings closer to min help save energy, provided that the freezer is not overloaded.
• The super setting causes the compressor to run continuously and should be used
sparingly. This setting can be used when you want to freeze a large number of
unfrozen items or in case you want to deep-freeze already frozen items. The yellow
light next to the thermostat will be lit when the super setting is active. Remember to
turn the thermostat back to its normal setting after a short time.
• The stop setting halts the cooling process (the compressor turns off), but does not
turn off the freezer. To turn the appliance off completely, you must unplug it.
Modes of Operation for dial-thermostat models
• Automatic operation – the yellow light is on and off (with the compressor).
:
The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat, which turns the cooling
system on and off. The frequency of turning the cooling system on and off depends
on:
– the thermostat setting
– how often the door is opened, and
– ambient temperature.
• Continuous operation – the yellow light is on steady.
The super setting of the thermostat is active, and the cooling system operates
continuously, resulting in a quick freeze. Do not let the freezer operate under these
conditions for long periods of time.
• Temperature alert – the red light is on.
The red light (next to the thermostat) is on when there is a temperature-related
problem in the freezer. See Troubleshooting.
