OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE • • SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL The temperature control is located in the refrigerator section. This control will adjust the temperature for both the refrigerator and freezer sections. The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “7” the coldest. The range of the temperature controls are from position “0” or NO COOLING to “7” the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • FREEZING FRESH FOODS Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foods. This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• • • • Energy Saving Tips The unit 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 them in the unit. Overloading the unit 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 freezer.
