Become familiar with these features, and their use and care. 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) ON Figure 1 OFF Temp Alarm - Upright Freezers Chest Models 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.

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.

Figure 3 Power Failure/ Freezer Failure WARNING If leaving freezer door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the freezer and become entrapped. NO TE NOTE Do not open freezer door unnecessarily if freezer is off for several hours. Vacation and Moving Tips Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Moving: Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the freezer. Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an upright position, and secure to prevent movement. Also protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or similar item. If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Dry Ice," "Dairies," or "Ice Cream Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice. If the freezer has stopped operating, see "Freezer does not run" in the Avoid Service Checklist Section of this manual. If you cannot solve the problem, call an authorized servicer immediately. If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow the directions above for the use of dry ice during a power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Frozen Food Locker Plants." 7 Avoid Service Checklist Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. OCCURRENCE SOLUTION Freezer does not run • Check to ensure that freezer is not plugged into a circuit that has ground fault interrupt. If you are unsure about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician. • Temperature control is in the OFF position. See Setting the Temperature Control section. • Freezer may not be plugged in or plug may be loose. Be sure plug is tightly pushed into electrical outlet. • House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check / reset circuit breaker or replace fuse with 15 amp time delay fuse. • Power outage. Check house lights. Call local electric company. • Room or outside weather is too hot. It is normal for the freezer to work harder under these conditions. • Freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Freezer requires 4 hours to cool down completely. • Large amounts of warm water or hot food have been stored recently. Warm food will cause the freezer to run more until the desired temperature is reached. • Door is kept open too long or too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. • Freezer door may be slightly open. See OCCURRENCE “Door Problems” • Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. • Freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause freezer to run longer in order to maintain desired temperature. Temperature inside freezer are too cold • Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Temperature inside freezer are too warm • Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the control to a colder setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. • Door is kept open too long or too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened. Open the door less often. • Freezer door may be slightly open. See OCCURRENCE “Door Problems” • Large amounts of warm water or hot food have been stored recently. Wait until the freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature. • Freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Freezer requires 4 hours to cool down completely. • The exterior freezer walls can be as much as 30°F warmer than room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet. Freezer runs too much or too long Temperature of external freezer surface is warm 8 OCCURRENCE SOLUTION Louder sound levels whenever freezer is ON • Modern freezers have increased storage capabilities and more even temperatures. They require a high efficiency compressor. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the compressor running while it cools the interior. Louder sound levels when compressor comes ON • Freezer operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run. Popping or cracking sound when compressor comes ON • Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run. Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling • Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating throughout the system. This is normal. Vibrating or rattling noise • Freezer is not level. It rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Level the unit. Refer to “Leveling” in the First Steps section. • Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by putting wood or metal shims under part of the freezer. • Freezer is touching the wall. Level the freezer or move freezer slightly. Refer to “Leveling” in the First Steps section. • Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost buildup. This is normal. • Door is slightly open. See OCCURRENCE “Door Problems”. • Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often. Moisture forms on outside of freezer • Door is slightly open, causing the cold air from inside the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside. See OCCURRENCE “Door Problems”. Odor in freezer • Interior needs to be cleaned. Clean interior with sponge, warm water and baking soda. • Foods with strong odors are in the freezer. Cover the food tightly. • Freezer is not level. It rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. This condition can force the cabinet out of square and misalign the door. Refer to “Leveling” in the First Steps section. • Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by putting wood or metal shims under the freezer or brace the floor supporting the freezer. • Light bulb is burned out. Follow directions under “Interior Light” in the “Freezer Features” section. • No electric current is reaching the freezer. See OCCURRENCE “Freezer does not run”.
