Power On Light

The Power On Light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to electrical power.

The light glows even when the temperature control is turned to OFF.  If the light goes
out, refer to "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service Checklist.

Temp Alarm (audible only or audible with warning light - see Figure 1)

This feature is designed to provide a warning of a possible malfunction. If the

temperature of the food rises to a level unsafe for long-term storage, the buzzer will
sound. The red light , if equipped, will also glow.  The Temp Alarm feature operates on

household electricity.  If power fails, the alarm will not function.  An ON/OFF switch allows

you to deactivate the Temp Alarm when not wanted.  The freezer is shipped with the Temp
Alarm in the OFF position. After freezer has run approximately 4 hours, the red light, if

equipped,  will go off.  Then you may activate the Temp Alarm without the alarm sounding.
Press the ON switch to activate the Temp Alarm.  To deactivate, press the OFF switch.
If the alarm sounds, be sure freezer is properly leveled, and the door closes freely, and
seals properly.  If you suspect a technical malfunction, call an authorized servicer
immediately.

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

red light will blink and the buzzer will sound.  To silence the buzzer, press the ALARM

OFF button.  The Indicator Light will continue to blink until a safe freezing temperature
is again reached. If the problem is not resolved within 12 hours, the buzzer will turn on

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.
