  •  For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer 

to cool down completely. The freezer will run 
continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are 
already frozen may be placed in the freezer after the 
first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should 
NOT be loaded into the freezer until the freezer has 
operated for 4 hours.

  •  When loading the 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 the control 
knob to a colder setting while freezing food.

Temperature Control

TEmpERaTuRE CONTROl

The temperature control is located 
inside the freezer compartment. The 
temperature is factory preset to provide 
satisfactory food storage temperatures. 
However, the temperature control 
is adjustable to provide a range 
of temperatures for your personal 
satisfaction. If a colder temperature 
is desired, turn the temperature control knob toward 

COLDEST and allow several hours for temperatures to 

stabilize between adjustments.
