Sliding basket(s)

(SELECT MODELS)

Some freezer models feature one or two sliding baskets.

Baskets can be used to organize the freezer by containing small, hard to stack items. Baskets also aid in keeping cooler air in the freezer by allowing quick, easy access to frequently used items. Baskets rest freely on the freezer liner and can be adjusted to the left or right for personal preference.

Temperature monitor alarm

(SELECT MODELS)

Some freezer models feature a tempera- ture monitor that provides an audible alarm. The temperature monitor alarm is located near the temperature control.

The alarm sounds if the temperature in the freezer rises 10° F (12° C) or more above normal for selected setting. Alarm may sound if temperature control dial is turned to a much colder setting or if a large amount of unfrozen food is added at one time. Alarm is controlled by a three position switch.

•0 = OFF prevents alarm from sounding when freezer is warm, such as during initial start-up or defrosting.

•✓ = TEST sounds alarm regardless of temperature. Alarm system should be tested at least once a month.

•1 = ON is proper setting for normal freezer use. Return switch to 1 after defrosting.

Door lock

(SELECT MODELS)

To use the door lock:

1.Insert key into lock approximately 1⁄4" (6 mm).

2.Turn key clockwise to lock freezer and counterclockwise to unlock.

Once locked or unlocked, the lock will push the key out, preventing the key from being kept in the lock.

WARNING

To prevent child entrapment keep key out of reach of children and away from freezer.

Interior light

(SELECT MODELS)

The interior light illuminates whenever the freezer lid is opened. The light bulb is a 15-watt appliance bulb. The light is designed and tested to provide illumina- tion while minimizing heat generated if the lid is accidentally left ajar. To replace the interior light, see the Hints and Care section.

Power light

(SELECT MODELS)

The power light normally will be “ON.” Its purpose is to warn you when there is a power absence. If for any reason the power to the freezer is interrupted (blown fuse, loose plug, etc.) the indicator light will be “OFF.”

CAUTION

The presence of the light does not indicate proper food temperatures, or proper operation of the refrigeration system.
