The only other task is to put the temp probe into the freezer. There was a plastic cover 1" diameter in the top back of my freezer. I peeled this out and drilled through. Plop the probe thru, a gob of silicone and you're done.
next time just turn it all the way down. since you are not using it to get that cold the frezzer thermostat will never actually function and the johnson will control it through the freezer power cord. just a little easier ths way but either way will work.
