5. Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady
or rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the
brake feet.
To Steady the Freezer:
■ Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄
4
" hex driver, turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the
screw until the freezer does not roll forward when the
door is opened.
6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
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
from 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
The temperature control is located at the top front of the freezer
compartment.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your freezer, check that the control
is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
IMPORTANT:
■ The recommended 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.
Recommended setting is the center snowflake.
■ 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
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
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment,
press TEMP SETTING to display the desired temperature setting
from the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the
right (coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
In the Off condition, none of the lights on the control panel will be
illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds.
When cooling is ON, the control panel lights will be illuminated.
Fast Freeze
Use this feature before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.
For the best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,361 g) per cu. ft
(28.32 L) of freezer space.
To activate Fast Freeze, press TEMP SETTING until all the
snowflake positions are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for 24 hours
after the extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has
expired, the freezer will return to the previous temperature
setting. Fast Freeze may be manually turned off by pressing
TEMP SETTING to select the desired temperature setting from
the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the
right (coldest).
Over Temperature Alert (on some models)
The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the freezer
temperature has risen to 19°F (-7°C) or higher. This alert feature
will sound a continuous alert tone and repeatedly flash a red
light on the control panel. The tone can be turned off by pressing
TEMP SETTING on the control panel once. As you press TEMP
SETTING, the red light will then also change from flashing to
continuously illuminated. The red light will remain illuminated
until the freezer temperature falls below 19°F (-7°C).
NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly flashing,
but the alert tone is not sounding, this means that an over-
temperature condition has occurred, but the freezer temperature
has since returned to below 19°F (-7°C). To turn off the red light
indicator for this condition, press TEMP SETTING on the control
panel once.
