Refrigerators and Freezers Operation, Installation and Instruction Manual Refrigerators and Freezers

condensing unit, and electrical hook-up should be performed by qualified
refrigeration personnel of a competent refrigeration company only.
OPERATION
All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal operating temperature
before placing any product inside. Refrigerators are designed to maintain an ideal
cabinet temperature of 3.3`c to 4.4`c (38`f to 40`f) and approximately 2 hours of
operation are required to reach this temperature. Standard freezers are designed
to maintain an ideal cabinet temperature of -18.9`c to -20.0`c (-2`f to -4`f) and
approximately 4 hours of operation are required to reach this temperature. Low
temperature freezers are designed to maintain an ideal cabinet temperature of -
26.7`c to -27.8`c (-16`f to -18`f) and approximately 6 hours of operation are
required to reach this temperature.
THERMOMETER CALIBRATION
After your new model has been given sufficient time to pull down to the above
specified temperature range, the exterior thermometer located on the upper grill
must
be checked for calibration accuracy. All thermometers are carefully
calibrated at the factory prior to shipping but may be vibrated out of calibration
through rough handling in transit, shipping vibration, or during installation.
CALIBRATION CHECK
To check calibration, an accurate, mercury thermometer (within the temperature
range of your model) must be placed inside of the cabinet on the center shelf for at
least 15 minutes without any door openings. At this time, note the temperature on
the exterior cabinet thermometer, quickly open the door and compare it to the
interior thermometer's temperature. Whatever the difference (if any) is the amount
the exterior thermometer must be adjusted.
The adjustment procedure varies depending on which thermometer is equipped
with your model (see figure 5).
DIAL THERMOMETER
For a dial thermometer, carefully pry the clear plastic lens cover from the
thermometer body using a slotted screwdriver. To adjust the needle, hold the
center hub stationary using a small slotted screw driver and very carefully grasp
