Temperature Control For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to cool down completely. The freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already frozen may be placed in the freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen food should NOT be placed in the freezer until it has operated for 4 hours. Allow several hours after each one-step adjustment for the freezer temperature to stabilize. When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of space at a time. Distribute packages evenly throughout the freezer. It is not necessary to turn the control knob to a colder setting while freezing food. Turning the control to OFF stops the cooling process but does not shut off power to the freezer. Sabbath Mode The Sabbath mode is a feature that disables portions of the appliance and its controls in accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community. To turn Sabbath mode on, press and hold the "Options" button and "+" button for 5 seconds, after which "Sb" will be displayed on the control panel indicating that the unit is in Sabbath mode. To exit Sabbath mode, press and hold the "Options" button and "+" button for 5 seconds, after which the display will return to displaying the set point of the unit. In the Sabbath mode, the High Temp alarm is active for health reasons. If a high temperature alarm is activated during this time, for example due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound for about 10 minutes. The alarm will then silence on its own and a "high temp" icon will be displayed on the control panel. The high temp icon will continue to display even if the door is closed until Sabbath mode is exited and the icon reset. For further assistance, guidelines of proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.star-k.org. NOTE: While in Sabbath mode, neither the lights nor the control panel will work until Sabbath mode has been deactivated. The unit stays in Sabbath mode after a power failure recovery. It must be deactivated with the buttons on the control panel. 5
