OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the appliance. Do not
block any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented, and temperature and moisture
problems may occur. Always position contents to allow some airflow between shelves or baskets.
Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
NOTE:
When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the appliance is
cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on the ambient room temperature and
the number of times the appliance door is opened. After the appliance is cooled, the
compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.
For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit be at least 30% full during
use. If you are only using this unit to store small loads, we recommend adding some water bottles or
freezer packs to ensure temperature stability.
The outside of
your appliance may feel warm. This is normal. The appliance’s design and main
function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the appliance. The heat is transferred
to the room air, making the outside of the appliance feel warm. (In some models the condenser that
gets warm is just inside the side walls, making these walls warm to the touch.)
