Freezer Features And Use

General Features

Adjustable temperature dial:

Your freezer will automatically maintain
the temperature level you select. The
temperature control dial has 3 settings
plus OFF. “I” is the warmest, “III” is the
coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops
cooling the freezer. Set the dial to “II”
and allow 24 hours to pass before
adjusting the temperature to your needs.

(Note: If the freezer has been
placed in a horizontal or
tilted position for any period
of time wait 24 hours before
plugging the unit in.)

• Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an proper electrical outlet

• Set the temperature, on the temperature control knob. “I” being the

warmest and “III” being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on “II”.
Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on indicating that the
freezer is in operation). After using the freezer for 24 hours set the
freezer to your desired setting.

• In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage,

allow 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
