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