atures.
2. Turn to lower number for less cold temperatures.
Cooling freezer first...
1. Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with
frozen food.
2. Let it cool overnight before adding large amount|
of unfrozen food.
Note: When freezer is first storied, the compressor
will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may
take up to 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on room
temperature and the number of times the freezer
door is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor wil
turn ON and OFF as needed to keep the freezer at|
the proper temperature.

items at one time. Keep contents organized to elimi­
nate searching.

for freezing foods. See pages 7 and 8
Set Temperature Control to provide temperatures
around 0°F (-17,8 °C). There is no need to store
foods below 0°F,
