Freezer Features - Amana AZF33X16DW Mode D'emploi

When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
■
constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and
number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer
is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to
keep the freezer at the 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. The heat is
transferred to the room air, making the outside of the freezer
feel warm.
Adjusting Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment,
press the TEMP SETTING button to display the desired setting
(Cold, Colder or Coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. In the off condition, none of the lights on the control
panel will be illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still
operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be
illuminated.
Fast Freeze (on some models)
Fast Freeze will cause the freezer to run continuously until an
extra-low temperature is achieved, or for 24 hours maximum. Use
this feature just before adding large amounts of unfrozen food.
For best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,350 g) per cu. ft
(28.32 L) of freezer space.
To activate Fast Freeze, press the TEMP SETTING button until all
3 positions are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for either 1
hour after the extra-low temperature is reached, for 24 hours
maximum, or if manually turned off.
To manually turn off the Fast Freeze feature, press the TEMP
SETTING button to display the desired setting from Cold to
Coldest.

Freezer Features

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you
have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The
locations of the features may not match those of your model.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
Refrigerated Shelves (on some models)
Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves.
Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best
refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored
directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food
packages.
When placing the food packages in your freezer, please
remember:
The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The
■
door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly
less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to
temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the
door shelves or the freezer bottom.
Leave some space between the food packages so that cold
■
air can pass over and around them.
Door Bin
To Remove and Replace the Bin:
1. Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin forward and
sliding out.
2.
Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support
tilting it back into place.
