Custom features

Automatic defrost

(SELECT MODELS)

Select models have automatic defrost. This allows the freezer to run more effi- ciently and quietly, minimizes odors, and takes the hassle out of keeping a freezer clean.

Fast freeze

(SELECT MODELS)

Fast Freeze is a convenient feature that enables quicker freezing of large amounts of food. During Fast Freeze, the freezer runs continuously, to drive the freezer temperature down to its coldest level.

To use Fast Freeze, simply turn the con- trol knob to the Igloo symbol. Then place unfrozen foods in the freezer cavity, spreading them out as much as possible. Return freezer to its normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.

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 1¼4" (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.

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

Interior light

(SELECT MODELS)

The interior light works to light the freez- er in poor or dimly lit conditions. The light is designed and tested to provide illumi- nation while minimizing heat generated if the door 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.”

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