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.)
