Temperature Control Electromechanical Temperature Control (Chest and Some Upright Models) The electromechanical temperature control is located inside the freezer on upright models, and on the left exterior wall on chest models (see figure 1). The temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control knob clockwise or counter clockwise. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments. • When the freezer is initially plugged in, the red "HI TEMP" indicator will be on and the buzzer will sound. The indicator light will stay on until the freezer temperature is below 23°F. To silence the buzzer, press the ALARM RESET button. • If a malfunction causes the temperature inside the freezer to rise above 23°F, the "HI TEMP" light will turn on and the buzzer will sound. The buzzer will sound every hour until the freezer temperature is below 23°F. To silence the buzzer, press the ALARM RESET button. Should an "E" appear on display, contact your authorized service technician for repair. Until changes are made, freezer will continue to run.
