OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

NOTE:

 · If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time 

wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

•  The settings of the temperature control are “OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.” Adjust the 

temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.  The setting of 
“4” should be appropriate for home or office use.

•  Turning the temperature to “OFF” position will shut off the cooling cycle, but 

does not turn off the electrical power to the unit.

NOTE:

 · Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the freezer.  The unit may fail to 

operate properly if restarted too quickly.

· If the ambient temperature is too high, the freezer may not reach the desired target 

temperature.

· Large amounts of foods will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
· If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control one 

increment at a time.  Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between 
adjustments.

FREEZER INTERIOR SHELF
