• Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with
frozen food.
• 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 door 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 nor­
mal. The freezer's design and main function is to re­
move heat from packages and air space inside the
freezer. This heat is transferred to the room air, so the
outside wails of the freezer may be warm.

• for power interruption,
• for an unplugged power cord,
• for a burned out signal light.

screwdriver by inserting it under the end of metal
edge of the light. Be careful not to chip finish on
