Warranty Information

This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for one year, and the sealed refrigeration system for five years.

Setting the temperature control

Turn the control to 4. This setting is designed to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.

Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot of freezer space.

NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It may take up to 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending on room temperature and the number of times the freezer door is opened.

After the cabinet is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.

Adjusting the temperature control

  • Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
  • Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

Troubleshooting and error codes

PROBLEM CHECK THE FOLLOWING
Freezer stops running
  • Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage?
  • Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
  • Has local power failed?
  • Is the Temperature Control set to a numbered setting?
Motor seems to run too long
  • Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door from closing? Defrost and clean freezer or move package so door closes properly.
  • Has a large amount of unfrozen food been added to the freezer? The motor will naturally run longer. Add no more unfrozen food at one time than will freeze in 24 hours approximately 2-3 lbs. per cubic foot of freezer space.
  • Is the day hot and muggy or the room too warm? The motor will naturally run longer to provide the correct amount of cooling.
  • Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer? See "Choosing the proper location" on page 6.
