ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The freezer should be located in
the coolest area of the room, away
from heat producing appliances
or heating ducts, and out of direct
sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room
temperature before placing in the
freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor
to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers
dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down
on frost build-up inside the freezer.
Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil,
wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and
extended searches. Remove as many items as needed
at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
COOL DOWN PERIOD
• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to
cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously
for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the freezer after the first few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be
loaded into the freezer until the freezer has operated
for 4 hours.
• When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of
fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the
freezer. It is not necessary to turn the control knob to a
colder setting while freezing food.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Electromechanical Temperature Control (Chest and
Some Upright Models)
The electromechanical temperature control is located in­
side the freezer on upright models, and on the left exterior
wall on chest models (see figure 1). The temperature is
factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temper­
atures. Flowever, the temperature control is adjustable to
provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfac­
tion. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the tempera­
ture control knob clockwise or counter clockwise. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

Standard Electronic Temperature Control (Some Up­
right Frost Free Models)
The standard electronic temperature control is located
outside the freezer (see Figure 2). Temperature is factory
preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures.
To adjust the temperature setting, press the UP (•^) symbol
for colder temperatures and DOWN
(v) symbol for warmer
temperatures on the control panel. Allow several hours tor
the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
To turn off freezer, press DOWN
(v) symbol until display shows “0”.
To activate freezer, press UP ( a )
until display shows “4” or desired
setting.
To keep the temperature setting
from being accidentally changed,
the control may be locked. This is
done by pressing “Alarm Reset”
for 3 seconds. “L” will then appear
on display. To unlock the control,
press “Alarm Reset” for 3 seconds.
For the first second, “U” will appear,
and then the current temperature
