Temperature Control
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This
setting is designed to maintain the temperature
at or near 0°F (-18°C) under normal operating
conditions. Seven is the highest (coldest) setting
and zero turns the cooling off. The freezer
compressor will run continuously for 6-8 hours
or longer when it is first started. After the
cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on
and off as needed to keep the freezer at the
proper temperature.
For safe food storage, allow 6-8 hours for the
freezer to cool down before placing frozen
food into the freezer. Let freezer cool overnight
before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.
When loading the freezer, freeze only 2 to 3
pounds (0.9 to 1.4 kg) of fresh food per cubic
foot of space at a time. Distribute packages
evenly throughout the freezer. It is not
necessary to turn the control knob to a colder
setting while freezing food.
Turning the control to
OFF
or

stops the
cooling process but does not shut off power to
the freezer.
