turn it,
2, Turn oontrol to Number 3. This setting is designed to
maintain the temperature at or near 0°F ( - 17.8°C)
under normal operating conditions.

atures,

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 started the compressor will
run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take
up to 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on room tem­
perature 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 freezer at 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 packages and air space inside the
freezer. This heat is transferred to the room air, so the
outside walls of the freezer may be warm.

Can be moved from side to side or removed when
loading or unloading food below it.
