Warranty Information
Refer to the warranty card for detailed warranty information.
Freezer Operation: The freezer temperature is adjusted using a control from 1 to 7, with 7 being the coldest. Adjust the temperature one step at a time and allow several hours for stabilization. For initial startup, clean the interior, connect to power, set the temperature control to 4, and allow the freezer to operate for at least four hours before loading food. On models with a Temperature Monitor or High-Temp Alarm Switch, set the switch to the Min position initially and then to the ON position after loading food.
