Guide to Set Deep Freezer in an Ideal Temperature

If your deep freezer freezes food, it must be set to the proper temperature, and you shouldn't be concerned, right? No, not at all. Food may freeze at a given temperature (and different foods freeze at different temperatures), but that temperature may not be the best for keeping it frozen.

This may seem like a hard notion to grasp, but if you use your freezer as regularly as everybody does, setting it to the proper temperature ensures that all of your eatable food items served in dinners and ice creams stay fresher for longer. Let's have a look at the freezer settings and learn how to set deep freezer temperature to keep food items ready to use.

1. Control Style 1:

   Set the freezer temperature to 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Under normal operation conditions, this setting is designed to keep the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C).

   1. Allow 6-8 hours for the freezer to cool before filling with frozen items.
   2. Allow the freezer to cool completely before loading it with unfrozen goods.
   3. Never fill your freezer with more than two to three pounds (0.907 to 1.360 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot.
   Controls

   "ON" Indicator:

   When power is delivered to the freezer, the "On" indication will illuminate green. Check to see that the freezer is properly connected to a power source if the indicator is not illuminated.

   "Compressor" Indicator

   When the freezer is in the cooling cycle, the "Compressor" indicator will turn green. To maintain the proper temperature, the compressor will cycle on and off automatically.

   Check the following if the indicator lights are not glowing:

   1. There is a power outage.
   2. A power wire that has been left disconnected.
   3. Make sure there isn’t an open circuit breaker.
   4. An indicator light that has gone off.

   Note: If the freezer has power, but the LEDs are not illuminated, contact Service to have the light bulbs replaced.

2. Control Style 2:

   Set the freezer temperature to 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Under normal operation conditions, this setting is designed to keep the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C).

   1. Allow six to eight hours for the freezer to cool before filling with frozen items.
   2. Allow the freezer to cool completely before loading it with unfrozen goods.
   3. Never fill your freezer with more than two to three pounds (0.907 to 1.360 kg) of unfrozen food per cubic foot.

   Check the following if the indicator lights are not glowing:

   1. There is a power outage.
   2. A power wire that has been left disconnected.
   3. There isn’t an open circuit breaker.
   4. An indication light that has gone off.

   To Adjust The Temperature For Control Style 1 Or Style 2: 

   1. Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
   2. Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.

   Note: When the freezer is turned on for the first time, the compressor will run continuously until the freezer has cooled down. Depending on the room temperature and the amount of times the freezer lid is opened, it could take six to eight hours (or longer).

   The compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the right temperature when it has cooled. It's possible that the outside of your freezer is warm. This is very normal. The basic function and design of the freezer is to extract heat from packages and air space within the freezer. The heat is transferred to the indoor air, making the freezer feel warm on the outside.
