A:Answer The 5.0 cf freezer has a dial selector to adjust the temperature to your liking. I set the unit on the coldest setting overnight, then turned it back to the recommended medium setting. With the freezer about 25% full of frozen items, the freezer is maintaining about -6F on the recommended temperature setting. My freezer is in the garage.
I recommend purchasing a small thermometer to place in the freezer to monitor it. With the price of meat these days, I might invest in an alarm to alert me if the freezer has any issues.
