amount of unfrozen food.
Note: When freezer is first started the compressor
will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It
may take up to 6 to 8 hours or longer, depending

is normal. The freezer’s design and main function
is to remove heat from packages and air space
inside the freezer. This heat is transferred to the
room air so the walls of the freezer may be warm.
