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
on room temperature and the number of times
the freezer lid is opened.

proper temperature.

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.
