Control Troubleshooting
Should your freezer control display unusual characters, or

interruptions, area lighting, etc.:
1. Unplug the freezer from the wall outlet.
2. Wait one (1) minute.
3. Plug the freezer back into the wall outlet.
The control will perform a self-check, reset itself, and
return to normal operation. Should the condition persist,

Temp Alarm
This feature is designed
to provide a warning if
the inside temperature
exceeds 23°F. "HI TEMP"
feature operates on household electricity. It will not
function if household electricity is interrupted.

indicator will be on and the buzzer will sound. The indicator
light will stay on until the freezer temperature is below 23°F.
To silence the buzzer, press the ALARM RESET button.
If a malfunction causes the temperature inside the freezer
to rise above 23°F, the "HI TEMP" light will turn on and
the buzzer will sound. The buzzer will sound every hour

buzzer, press the ALARM RESET button.
Should an "E" appear on display, contact your authorized
service technician for repair. Until changes are made,
freezer will continue to run.
