Cooling Freezer First...
1. Allow freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling

Note: When freezer is first started the compressor
will run constantly until the cabinet is cooled. It

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.
