Setting the temperature control
• Turn control to the middle of the dial. This setting
is designed to maintain the temperature at or
near 0°F ( - 17.8°C) under normal operating
conditions.
Adjusting the temperature control
• Turn control to higher number for colder
temperatures.
• 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. Never add more than 2-3
pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of
freezer size.
NOTE: When freezer is first started, the com­
pressor 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 will
turn on and off as needed to keep freezer at proper
temperature.
The power saving control
This control operates electric heaters. These
heaters help prevent moisture from forming on the
outside of the freezer when humidity is high.
1. Use the OFF setting when humidity is low.
2. Use the ON setting only if moisture forms on the
outside of the freezer.
