If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting. Depress the ambient switch at least 3 hours before loading food to be frozen. Place the food to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part. To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints: the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate; the freezing process takes 24 hours.
