Quick Start Guide
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s
Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been
properly installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
The temperature control is located at the front of the freezer compartment.
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When
you first install your freezer, check that the control is still set to the
recommended setting as shown.
Recommended setting “Colder”
IMPORTANT:
- The recommended setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.
- Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.
- When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the 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. The heat is transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
FAST FREEZE (on some models)
Use this feature before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. For the best
food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs. (1,361 g) per cu. ft. (28.32 L) of freezer
space.
To activate Fast Freeze, press Temp Setting until all the indicator light
positions are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for 24 hours after the
extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has expired, the freezer will
return to the previous temperature setting. Fast Freeze may be manually turned
off by pressing Temp Setting to select the desired temperature setting from
the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the right
(coldest).
COOLING ON/OFF
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold Temp Setting for 3 seconds. In the off
condition, none of the lights on the control panel will be illuminated. The
main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold Temp Setting for 3 seconds. When cooling is
on, the control panel lights will be illuminated.
ADJUSTING CONTROL
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment, press Temp
Setting to display the desired temperature setting from Cold to Coldest.
NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the control more
than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the
temperature to stabilize.
Freezer Features
The freezer you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations of the features may not match those of your model.
FREEZER SHELVES
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different heights.
This reduces the time the freezer door is open and saves energy.
To Remove and Replace a Shelf:
- Remove the shelf by lifting straight up and pulling the shelf out.
- Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf onto the supports on the side wall.
STORAGE GATE (on some models)
To Remove the Storage Gate:
- Lift the top of the gate up and out of the supports.
- Return the gate to original position. Lower the gate into the supports.
