or completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the
appliance to cool down completely before loading
with food. The appliance will run continuously for the
first several hours. Do not place any food in the
appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Settings
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the
thermostat set at about the mid-point of the
operating range. Adjustments colder or warmer can
be made after the appliance has been running for at
least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before re-adjusting the thermostat.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost automatically
every 12 hours. To set the time of defrost, wait until
the desired time to defrost. With the notch on the
timer knob aligned with the line on the bracket
