FREEZER OPTIONAL FEATURES

NOTE: Your freezer may have some, or all of the
features listed below. Become familiar with these
features, and their use and care.
SECURITY LOCK WITH POP-OUT KEY
This security lock fastens the door snugly, ensuring stored
food is secure. To lock or unlock the freezer, push the key
into the lock and turn. The key pops out of the lock after it
has been turned.
POWER ON LIGHT
The yellow Power On indicator light indicates that the freezer is
properly connected to electrical power. The light glows even
when the temperature control is turned to OFF. If the light goes
out, refer to Freezer Does Not Run Section in the Trouble-
shooting Guide. If the freezer appears to be operating, the
light element may be burned out. Call an authorized servicer
for replacement.
TEMP ALARM
(ELECTRONIC MODELS)
This feature is designed to provide a warning if the inside
temperatures reach an unsafe level. The Temp. Alarm Feature
operates on household electricity. It will not function if house-
hold electricity is interrupted. (Battery backup models only: A
battery backup feature will take over the alarm system if the
household electricity is interrupted.)
When the freezer is initially plugged in, the red Temp. Alarm
Indicator Light blinks. The indicator light will continue to blink
until the freezer has reached a safe freezing temperature. If a
malfunction causes an unsafe temperature inside the freezer,
the red light will blink and the buzzer will sound. To silence the
buzzer, press the ALARM OFF button. The Indicator Light will
continue to blink until a safe freezing temperature is again
reached. If the problem is not resolved within 12 hours, the
buzzer will turn on again.
If the ALARM OFF button is not pressed, the buzzer will turn
itself off automatically after 48 hours, but the red Temp Alarm
Light will continue to blink.

HIGH-TEMP ALARM SWITCH
An audible alarm will sound if the freezer temperature reaches
unsafe levels. The alarm operates on household electricity. If
the power fails, the alarm will not perform.
An ON/OFF switch allows the high temperature alarm to be
deactivated if desired. NOTE: You must open the freezer door to
view the alarm switch. The freezer is shipped with the switch in
the OFF position. After the freezer has run long enough to
lower the temperature, you may set the switch to the ON
position.
• To activate the alarm, set the switch to the ON position.
• To deactivate the alarm, set the switch to the OFF position.

BLUE DEFROST BUTTON
IMPORTANT:It is time to defrost and clean the freezer when the
blue defrost button is completely covered with frost.
QUICK FREEZE
(SOME MODELS)
To activate the Quick Freeze feature, push the switch to the ON
position. The green light will appear, and the freezer will run
continuously (except when in Flash Defrost), driving freezer
temperature to the coldest possible temperatures. The switch
automatically turns off after 72 hours. Use this feature just prior
to adding large quantities of unfrozen foods (not to exceed 3
pounds per cubic foot of freezer space).
