The freezer temperature control uses a
range of settings from 0 to 7.When set at
zero the freezer is OFF-it does not cool
or maintain a cool temperature. Setting 1
is the warmest temperature setting and
setting 7 is the coldest.
Initial control setting:
1. Set the freezer control on 4.
2. 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 morethan 2 to 3 pounds of
unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer
space.
3. 24 hours after adding food, adjust
control as desired.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started,
the compressor will run constantly until
the cabinet iscooled. This may take up to
6-8 hours or longer, depending on room
temperature and the number of times the
freezer is opened.
