• For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for
the unit to cool down completely. The
appliance will run continuously for the
first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the unit after

foods should NOT be loaded into the
appliance until the unit has operated for
4 hours.
• When loading the appliance, freeze only
3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of
space at one time. Distribute packages to
be frozen evenly throughout the unit. It is
not necessary to turn the control knob to a

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.
• Shelves should not be lined with aluminum
food storage temperatures. To adjust the
temperature setting, press the ^ button for
a warmer temperature and the ˅ button for
a colder temperature on the control panel.
