FREEZER FEATURES

NOTE: Your freezer has 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 Troubleshooting Guide. If the freezer appears to be
operating, the light element may be burned out. Call an
authorized servicer for replacement.
TEMP ALARM
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 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 tempera-
ture. 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 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.

QUICK FREEZE
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).

SLIDE-OUT BASKET
A Slide-Out Basket, located at the bottom of the freezer,
provides separate storage space for items that are difficult
to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, pull out
and lift up.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The light comes on automatically when the door is opened.
To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to
OFF and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb
with a bulb of the same wattage.
ADJUSTABLE INTERIOR
SHELVES
Multi-position adjustable interior
shelves can be moved to any position
for larger or smaller packages. The
shipping spacers that stabilize the
shelves for shipping may be removed
and discarded.
