Using the Freezer Control
If These Features
are Different from
Yours
These examples are intended to
show the variety of features that are
available in the product line. If your
freezer does not have all the options
that are shown, it is not a mistake. The
information provided applies to several
of the models in the product line.
Temperature Control
Freezer temperature control uses a range of settings from 0 to 7.
When set at zero, the freezer is off—it does not cool or maintain a
cool temperature. Setting 1 is the warmest temperature setting
and setting 7 is the coldest.
When plugging in the freezer for the first time:
1.
Set freezer temperature setting to 4.
2.
Wait 3 hours.
3.
Add food.
4.
After 24 hours, adjust control as desired.
To adjust freezer temperature:
1.
Set household thermometer snugly between frozen packages.
• The thermometer can also be placed 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 temperatures ranging from -5° to 50° F.
2.
Wait 5 to 8 hours.
3.
Check temperature.
• Temperature should read between 0° to 2° F.
• If temperature is not in range, adjust control only one number at a time.
• Recheck temperature every 5 to 8 hours until it is in desired range.
Temperature Control Knob
The temperature control knob is located on the right
interior wall of the freezer. The knob can be set from
a setting of

(warmest) to
(coldest) and can be
turned by hand. This range allows you to set the
freezer at a specific temperature setting, conserving
energy and lowering costs.
To conserve energy:
•
Do not set controls colder than
necessary to maintain a
temperature range of 0° to 2° F.
•
Operate in normal room
temperatures away from heat
sources and direct sunlight.
•
Keep freezer full.
•
Keep door gaskets clean and
pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
Fast Freeze
Fast Freeze is a convenient feature
that enables quick, efficient freezing
of large amounts of food. During
Fast Freeze, the freezer runs almost
continuously, providing freshly cooled
air to drive the freezer temperature
down to appoximately 10° colder
than the lowest setting.
To use Fast Freeze, simply turn the
control knob to the Igloo symbol.
Then place unfrozen foods in the
freezer cavity, spreading them out as
much as possible. Verify food is
frozen after 24 to 48 hours. Once
food is frozen, return freezer to its
normal setting.
