Temperature control

NOTE:  If the freezer is laid on its side 
during shipping or transport, place the 
freezer upright and wait 12 hours before 
plugging it in.  This prevents damage to 
the freezer. 

The freezer control turns the cooling 
system on. 

1.  Set the freezer control on 4. 

2.  Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours 

before filling with frozen food.  Let the 
freezer cool overnight before adding 
large amounts of unfrozen food. 
Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds of 
unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer 
space. 

3. 24 hours after adding food, adjust 

control as desired. 

NOTE:  When the freezer is first started, 
the compressor will run constantly until 
the cabinet is cooled.  This may take up to 
6-8 hours or longer, depending on room 
temperature and the number of times the 
freezer is opened. 

The outside of your freezer may feel 
warm.  This is normal.  The freezer’s 
design and main function is to remove the 
heat from packages and air space inside 
the freezer.  This heat is transferred to the 
room air, so the outside of the freezer may 
feel warm. 

1. Set household thermometer snugly 

between frozen packages or place 
thermometer in a glass of vegetable 
oil, placed in freezer (vegetable oil will 
not freeze). 

• Thermometer should be designed for 

use with freezer. 

• Thermometer should read tempera-

tures ranging from -5° to 50° F 
(-21° to 10° C). 

2.  Wait 5 to 8 hours. 

3.  Check temperature. 

• Temperature should read 0° F (-18° C) 

or slightly below. 

4. If temperature is not in range, adjust 

control only one number at a time. 

• Turn the control to a higher number if 

a colder temperature is desired. 

• Turn the control to a lower number if a 

less cold temperature is desired. 

5.  Wait an additional 24 hours and 

recheck temperature.
