Using the Control
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4 (align circle on knob
with desired number), as shown below. This setting is designed
to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal
operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.
NOTE:
■
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take
6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer lid is opened.
■
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as
needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
■
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from the
contents and air inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the
room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting the Control
■
Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
“7” is the coldest setting.
■
Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures. “0” is
off or defrost mode.
Indicator Light (on some models)
The indicator light assures you that your freezer is running. If the
indicator light is not glowing, immediately check for:
■
Power interruption.
■
An unplugged power cord.
■
An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.
■
A burned out indicator light. If light is burned out, contact service
for a replacement.
Temperature Alarm (on some models)
The temperature alarm is located below the temperature control and
sounds an audible buzzing alarm if the freezer temperature reaches
10°F (-12°C) or more above the normal for your selected temperature
setting. The alarm is controlled by a 3-position switch.
