About the operation of your freezer.

Starting the Freezer

Clean the inside of the freezer with a mild solution of baking soda and water 
(see 

Care and Cleaning

).

Connect cord to power outlet.

On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the 
switch to the 

OFF

position.

Make sure the temperature control is set at  mid-range,   

4.

Allow freezer to operate for at least four hours before placing food inside.

On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the 
switch to the 

ON

position.

An alarm will sound if the freezer
temperature reaches unsafe levels. The
alarm operates on household electricity. If
the power fails, the alarm will not perform.

An 

ON/OFF

switch allows the temperature

alarm to be deactivated if desired. The
freezer is shipped with the switch in the 

OFF

position. After the freezer has run long

enough to lower the temperature, you 
may set the switch to the 

ON

position.

CAUTION:

Adding more than 3 pounds  

of warm food per cubic foot 

eezer capacity can trigger the alarm.

To activate the alarm,

set the switch to the 

ON

position.

T

o deactivate the alarm,

set the switch to 

OFF

position.

Temperature Control

Freezing temperature selection is made by
setting the control from 

1

to 

7

(coldest).

If you want colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the control one step at a time.

Allow several hours after each one-step
adjustment for the freezer temperature to
stabilize.

Turning the control to 

OFF

stops the cooling

process but does not shut off power to the
freezer.
