Setting the Temperature Control
Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow four (4) hours for 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 freezer has operated
for four (4) hours.
• When loading freezer, freeze only three (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.
Electromechanical Temperature Control (Chest and
Some Upright Models)
The electromechanical temperature control is located inside 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 temperatures. However, the temperature
control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your
personal satisfaction. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the
temperature control knob clockwise or counter clockwise. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
