CONTROLS AND SETTINGS Cool Down Period • For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the appliance to cool down completely. The unit will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in the unit after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours. • When loading freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time.
STORAGE FEATURES Shelf Adjustment Fixed Door Bin Appliance shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. The fixed door bin is especially designed to hold large containers or freezer bags. To adjust sliding shelves, remove shelf by pulling forward. To replace shelf, rest side edges on any pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf back into position.
SAVING ENERGY • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. • Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
