Using your freezer
Setting the Cold Control...
1. Insert a coin in the slot of the Cold Control to
turn it.
2. Turn control to Number 3. This setting will maintain zero zone temperatures under normal operating conditions.
Exterior Signal light...
automatically warns of any unexpected power
failure.
Adjusting Cold Control...
l
Turn control to higher number for colder
temperatures.
l
Turn to lower number for less cold temperatures.
Cooling Freezer First...
l
Allow freezer to cool 6 to B hours before filling
with frozen food.
l
Let it cool overnight before adding large
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 B hours or longer, depending
on room temperature and the number of times
the freezer lid is opened.
After the cabinet is cooled the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep freezer at
proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This
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.
If the signal light is not glowing, immediately
check:
0 for power interruption,
l
the power plug; it may be disconnected from
the outlet,
l
the warning light; it may be burned out.

To replace burned out signal light:
1. Unplug power cord from outlet.
2. Carefully snap out light cover and assembly
with a screwdriver by inserting it under the
end of metal edge of the light. Be careful not
to chip finish on freezer.
3. Unplug burned out signal light and replace
with a new one. Signal light can be ordered
from your Whirlpool dealer.
