NOTE
Your freezer may have some, or all of the
features listed below. Become familiar with
these features, and their use and care.
Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for
the appliance to cool down completely.
The unit will run continuously for the first
several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the unit after the
first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods
should
NOT
be loaded into freezer until
freezer has operated for 4 hours.
• When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds
of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer
space at one time. Distribute packages to
be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It
is not necessary to turn control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.
Electromechanical Temperature

The temperature control is located inside the
freezer on upright models, and on the left

food storage temperatures. However, the
temperature control is adjustable to provide
a range of temperatures for your personal

desired, turn the temperature control knob
toward COLDEST and allow several hours for
temperatures to stabalize between adjustments.
Electronic Temperature Control
(some upright frost-free models)
The electronic temperature control is located
outside the freezer on upright models. The
temperature is factory preset to provide
satisfactory food storage temperatures. To
adjust the temperature setting, press the +
