NOTE: 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.
Adjusting Control
■ Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
■ Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
NOTE: The small snowflake icon represents the number 1 or
the least cold setting. The large snowflake icon represents 6
or the coldest setting.
Fast Freeze (on some models)
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the
freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To
activate, adjust the control knob to the igloo icon, which
represents the fast freeze setting. Use this feature just before
adding large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do
not exceed 3 lbs (1,350 g) per cubic foot (28.32 L). Return to your
normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.
Key Eject Lock
(on some models)
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock
while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left
in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always
give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting
a replacement key.
FREEZER FEATURES
This manual covers several different models. 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.
Refrigerated Shelves
(on some models)
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves.
Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best
refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored
directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food
packages.
When placing the food packages in your freezer, please
remember:
■ The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The
door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly
less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to
temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the
door shelves or the freezer bottom.
■ Leave some space between the food packages so that cold
air can pass over and around them.
Door Bin
(on some models)
To remove and replace the bin:
1. Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin forward and
sliding out.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support
tilting it back into place.
Storage Basket
(on some models)
The slide out basket provides separate storage space for items
that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the
basket, pull out and lift up.
