Using Your Freezer
The drawings in this book may vary slightly from your freezer model. They are designed to show the
different features of all the models covered by this book.
NOTE: Your model may not include all the features shown.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
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.
Exterior moisture control
The Exterior Moisture Control operates electric
heaters around the door openings. These heaters
help keep moisture from forming on the outside of
the freezer.
1. Use the OFF setting when humidity is low.
2. Use the ON setting if moisture forms on the
outside of the refrigerator.
