Temperature Alarm (on some models)

The temperature monitor alarm is located to the left of 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.

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.

FREEZER FEATURES

This manual covers several different models. The freezer you have 
purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations 
of the features may not match those of your model.

Refrigerated Shelves

(on some models)

Your freezer is equipped with refrigerated interior shelves. 
Packages in direct contact with the shelves will have the best 
refrigeration. Fresh, unfrozen food packages should be stored 
directly on the shelves and not on top of already frozen food 
packages.

When placing the food packages in your freezer, please 
remember:

■

The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The 
door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly less 
cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to 
temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the 
door shelves or the freezer bottom.

■

Leave some space between the food packages so that cold 
air can pass over and around them.

Door Bin

To remove and replace the bin:

1. Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin forward and 

sliding out. 

2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support 

tilting it back into place.

Storage Basket

(on some models)

The slide out basket provides separate storage space for items 
that are difficult to store on freezer shelves. To remove the basket, 
pull out and lift up.

Storage Gate

(on some models)

To Lower and Raise the Storage Gate:

1. Lift the top of the gate up slightly, out of the supports. Pull the 

gate forward and down.

2. Return the gate to the upright position. Lift the top of the gate 

slightly to clear the supports. Lower the gate into the 
supports.

The proper setting for normal freezer use. The alarm 
is on, and the amber light will be illuminated.

0

warm, such as during start-up or defrosting.
