USING THE FREEZER
Using the freezer
The storage life of frozen foods varies. You should consume the
food before the recommended storage time expires. Place fro-
zen food into your freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
If there are instructions on the packaging, carefully follow these
instructions regarding storage times.
Prepackaged, commercially-frozen food should be stored in ac-
cordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
three-star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
Shelves are provided for the organization of odd-shaped items.
Note:
If the power fails, food in your freezer will stay frozen for
several hours, even in summer. During a power failure, do not
open the door more than you have to and do not add new food.
1. Plug in your freezer. Wait for 30 minutes, then open the
freezer door to determine if your freezer is working correctly.
When your freezer is plugged into a power outlet, it runs con-
tinuously.
2. Wait two to four hours before placing food into your freezer. If
the room temperature is high, wait four or more hours.
3. Turn the Control knob to adjust the temperature. Your freezer
has three marked temperature settings:
• MIN: 10.4 °F ~ 5 °F (-12 °C ~ -15 °C)
• MID: -0.4 °F ~ -4 °F (-18 °C ~ -20 °C)
• MAX: -7.6 °F ~ -11.2 °F (-22 °C ~ -24 °C)
You can set the temperature to one of the setting positions or to
a setting position between the marked settings.
Notes:
You may need to adjust the temperature based on the room
temperature. If the room temperature is high, (for example,
in summer) lower the freezer temperature. If the room tem-
perature is low, (for example, in winter) raise the freezer tem-
perature.
You may need to adjust the temperature based on how much
food is in your freezer.
If your freezer is unplugged or loses power, you must wait
three to five minutes before restarting it. Your freezer will not
start if you attempt to restart it sooner.
If the power fails, unplug your freezer, then wait until the
power is back to normal before you plug it in.
Large amounts of food lower the cooling efficiency of your
freezer.
Do not put bottled food or drinks in your freezer.
