Temperature Control
• To turn the appliance on, plug the power
cord into a properly grounded 3 prong
electrical outlet.
• For safe food storage, after plugging in
allow four hours for the appliance to cool
down completely to the set temperature.
The compressor will run continuously for
the first several hours.
• Foods that are already frozen may be
placed in the freezer after the first few
hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should
NOT be loaded into the freezer until the
freezer has operated for four hours.
• When loading the freezer, freeze only
three pounds of fresh food per cubic
foot of freezer space at one time.
Distribute packages to be frozen evenly
throughout the freezer.

Temperature Control
The temperature control is located on the
upper edge of the door frame. Insert a flat
blade screwdriver or thin coin into the slot
and rotate the dial pointer toward 4 to
increase coldness. After making an
adjustment, allow several hours for the
internal temperature to stabilize at the
new setting.
Numeral 2 is within a circle to indicate the
recommended coldness setting for most
situations of use. Turning the dial to zero will
eliminate cooling but will not shut off power
to the appliance.
Automatic Defrost
The appliance is equipped with automatic
defrost capability so that you do not have
to manually defrost. The cooling element
of the unit is regularly heated to melt
the frost that forms on it. The resulting
water drains through a duct at the back
of the unit and into a concealed pan at
the base of the unit where it evaporates.
Should any frost form on the unit interior
walls, remove food and store it elsewhere.
Then unplug the unit, wait long enough for
the frost to melt, and wipe up the
moisture with a dry towel.
Downswing Door Wire Shelf
The top two wire shelves are fronted with
clear plastic downswing doors for convenient
storage of smaller or often accessed items.
