OPERATING YOUR FREEZER Ensuring Proper Air Circulation In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters from the freezer wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through the vent near the bottom. Using the Control The temperature control is located at the top front of the freezer compartment. Temperature Control For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your freezer, check that the control is still set to the recommended setting as shown. Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. Recommended setting is the center snowflake. IMPORTANT: ■ The recommended 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. 7
