TEMP ALARM (ELECTRONIC MODELS)
This feature is designed to provide a warning if the inside temperatures reach an unsafe
level. The Temp. Alarm Feature operates on household electricity. It will not function
if household electricity is interrupted.
When the freezer is initially plugged in, the red Temp. Alarm Indicator Light blinks. The
indicator light will continue to blink until the freezer has reached a safe freezing
temperature. If a malfunction causes an unsafe temperature inside the freezer, the

again. If the ALARM OFF button is not pressed, the buzzer will turn itself off automatically
after 48 hours, but the red Temp Alarm Light will continue to blink.
