Temperature Alarm (on some models)
The temperature alarm is located above the temperature control 
and sounds an audible alarm if the temperature reaches 10°F 
(-12°C) or more above normal for the selected setting. The alarm 
is controlled by a three-position switch.
To change the temperature alarm setting, move the switch from 
one setting to another.
Key Eject Lock
(on some models) 
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock 
while turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left 
in the lock.
If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always 
give the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting 
a replacement key.
Sliding Basket 
Store small packages in the basket to avoid losing them in the 
bottom of the freezer. The basket can then be moved from side to 
side or it can be removed when loading or unloading the food 
below it.
To remove basket, lift it straight up and out. To replace basket, 
lower basket back into place.
Indicator Light
(on some models)
The indicator light assures you that your freezer is running. If the 
indicator light is not glowing, immediately check for:
Power interruption.
An unplugged power cord.
An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.
A burned out indicator light.
FREEZER CARE
Defrosting and Cleaning Your Freezer
Defrost and clean your freezer when frost has built up to about 
¹⁄₄" (0.6 cm) thickness. Complete defrosting and cleaning should 
be done at least once a year. In high humidity areas, a freezer 
may need more frequent defrosting and cleaning. 
Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use cleaning 
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners 
containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.
NOTE: For models with a defrost water drain, the drain cap must 
be removed before defrosting the freezer and replaced securely 
afterward.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of 
newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for 
several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler, 
additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
